Advancing Water Security in the Tropical and Subtropical Regions: An Integrative Topic Modeling Approach

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Altered nutrient cycling functionality in seagrass meadows under a simulated future marine heatwave event

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2616-2629, September 2025.
Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,
