Vehicle tracks in the UK uplands vary in occurrence with land use and overlap with peatlands and protected areas

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Surfaced vehicle tracks are widespread across GB uplands, yet their extent and environmental footprint have until now been poorly quantified. Using remote sensing and a semi‐automated detection model (F1 = 84.3%), we mapped over 5190 km of hill track, finding density highest in wind farm and grouse moor landscapes and with over 2500 km overlapping ...

Prediction of the Potential Distribution of Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris) in Iran Under Future Climate Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Predicting waterbird habitat changes under future climate scenarios. ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping ecological communities worldwide, altering species distributions, abundance, and habitat suitability. We modelled the potential distribution of two duck species, the Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and the Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris),

Decoupling of alpine wetland degradation and regional development

Ecological Indicators
Wetland is the core functional system of the global alpine region. However, with the development of the social economy in the past few decades, the alpine wetland ecosystem has suffered serious shrinkage, drying, degradation and landscape fragmentation ...

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 323-341, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

Variability and Complexity of Environmental Drivers on Catchment Transit Times Across Space: A Systematic Review

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Environmental drivers influence or modulate transport processes that finally determine catchment transit times. TTD represents transit time distribution; MTT is the mean transit time; and Fyw means young water fraction. ABSTRACT Catchment transit time, the time water takes to travel from precipitation to streamflow, is a key diagnostic of how ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Patterns and determinants of soil plant- and microbial-derived carbon in alpine peatlands

Journal Of Plant Ecology
Abstract Peatlands store approximately one-third of global soil organic carbon (SOC) and clarifying SOC sources is essential to assess soil carbon (C) formation and stability in these C-rich ecosystems. However, large-scale patterns and drivers of plant- and microbial-derived C in peatlands remain poorly understood. This study applied

Enhancing the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model for Application to Thermokarst Lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Thermokarst lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet the underlying governing processes remain poorly understood. This study refines the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model (ALBM) to characterize the unique environmental and biogeochemical processes of QTP thermokarst lakes. Key improvements

Examining the Seasonal‐Transition Effect on Dissolved Carbon Sources and Exports in a Subtropical Headwater Catchment

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Unraveling the linkages between stream water sources and dissolved carbon (DC) dynamics is essential for refining the global carbon budget, yet these connections remain poorly constrained. Here, we conducted an 18‐month continuous monitoring campaign of stream water, throughfall, soil water, and groundwater from a seasonally distinct headwater
