Composite materials have emerged as one of the most dynamic and interdisciplinary research areas in modern materials science. With continuous innovations in design, processing, and performance optimization, composites are driving breakthroughs in diverse sectors—from aerospace and automotive engineering to energy, biomedicine, and sustainable infrastructure. To highlight the most recent progress and inspire further research, our journal is launching a Featured Papers Collection on Composite Materials. This collection aims to gather high-quality, influential works that showcase cutting-edge developments in the field. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) novel composite fabrication techniques, smart and multifunctional composites, bio-based and sustainable materials, modeling and simulation, as well as advanced characterization methods. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome. Through this initiative, the journal seeks to provide an open platform for researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners to share their latest findings and exchange innovative ideas. By curating impactful contributions, this Collection will not only reflect the current research landscape but also help identify future directions for the composites community. We look forward to receiving outstanding submissions that demonstrate scientific excellence, technical rigor, and potential real-world impact.

Plant Ecophysiology ( PlantEcophys ) is announcing a collection together with the XVII Spanish-Portuguese Symposium on Plant Water Relations (XVII SP SPWR), which is a global event taking place in Pamplona, Spain, from February 25–27, 2026, organized by the Water Relations Group from the Spanish Plant Biology Society. It will bring together scientists, industry professionals and policy makers to explore the latest advances in plant water relations and their role in tackling today’s environmental and agricultural challenges. The collection will select papers will from XVII SP SPWR, and also welcome submissions on related topics including: 1. Physiological and molecular mechanisms of water relations 2. Water relations in natural systems: from grasslands to forests 3. Water relations in agriculturally important species 4. New methodologies and technologies for monitoring plant water relations 5. Water relations in the context of global change 6. Integrated water management in agricultural and forest systems Academic Editors: Prof. Jaume Flexas (Editor-in-Chief of PlantEcophys) Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain Dr. Iker Aranjuelo Michelena (Organizer of XVII SP SPWR) Instituto de Agrobiotecnología, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, (IdAB-CSIC), Pamplona, Spain Prof. Ismael Aranda García (Organizer of XVII SP SPWR) Instituto de Ciencias Forestales, Centro Nacional Instituto de Investigaciones Agrarias y Alimentarias, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, (ICIFOR-INIA-CSIC), Madrid, Spain Dr. José M.
