Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity Behave Differently Under Disturbance Pressure and Complex Land‐Use History: Assembly Rules in Grassland Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Grasslands in the Alps are undergoing land‐use change triggering ecological succession and affecting community composition. Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity are used as complementary information to infer on community assembly processes, supporting conservation practices.

Impacts of Climate Change and Human Activities on Global Mountain Grasslands: Insights Into the Last Two Decades and Future Climate Scenarios

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Mountain grasslands are vital ecosystems providing critical services such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human activities. This study evaluates vegetation dynamics in global mountain grasslands (2000–2021) using remote sensing

Expansion of Exotic Mangroves Sonneratia apetala in China Since Start of the SDGs

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came into effect in 2016, mangroves have received unprecedented attention for carbon sequestration capacity. In China, previous studies focused on the total area of mangroves using remote sensing technique, neglecting expansion of the exotic mangrove species Sonneratia apetala, even when it is ...

Storm Wind Flow and Sediment Dynamics on Adjacent Coastal Dunes With Contrasting Morphologies During One Storm Event

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This study presents the first high‐resolution spatial and temporal analysis of wind flow, sediment transport and topographic evolution under simultaneous storm conditions across two morphologically contrasting beach‐dune systems, characterized by a gently sloping dune face (11°) and a steep, scarped dune face (36°).

Policy options for afferorestation in Flanders [PDF]

This paper analyses current and alternative afforestation policy instruments in Flanders. First we select forest sites that maximize net social benefits given a constraint on the total area of new forests and then we select policy instruments that yield ...

Quantifying and Regionalizing Land Use Impacts on Catchment Response Times With High‐Frequency Observations

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Land use and land cover change (LUCC) can affect the hydrological response time of rivers. However, it is difficult to generate robust and quantitative evidence of this impact at the catchment scale. This lack of evidence also affects the development of rainfall‐runoff models to make ex‐ante predictions.

Understanding Multiscale Hydrological Interactions From Spectral Perspective: A Large Sample Investigation Across the United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Hydrological processes involve multi‐time scale interactions among different variables, and the interactions are driven, in part, by climate and landscape factors. Knowledge on the relationships of hydrological interactions with climate and landscape factors is crucial for modeling the hydrological processes, including the model structure ...

Economic analysis of field afforestation and forest clearance for cultivation in Finland [PDF]

Rational land use decisions of private landowners are analysed in the framework of Common Agricultural Policy and other public support schemes effective in Finland in 2003. Net present values are computed for a marginal hectare of a typical Finnish farm.

Overcoming barriers to build partnerships for managing plant invasions under global change

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Non‐native plant invasions are a cross‐boundary conservation challenge, requiring coordinated management and policy responses underpinned by science. Global change is expected to exacerbate this challenge by changing abiotic and biotic drivers of invasive plant distribution, abundance, and impact. Current approaches may no longer be effective,
