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

Peatlands and the carbon cycle: from local processes to global implications – a synthesis [PDF]

, 2008
Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth's land surface but boreal and subarctic peatlands store about 15–30% of the world's soil carbon (C) as peat.

Cation responses to global changes alter ecological processes in ombrotrophic systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ombrotrophic bogs, which store large amounts of carbon as peat, receive all their mineral nutrition through deposition, making them particularly sensitive to cation‐displacing global changes. Here, we review the limited yet compelling evidence that cation availability is a key determinant of ecological processes across scales of ecological organisation

Factors Influencing Carbon and Nitrogen Emissions Induced by Freeze–Thaw Collapse in Altai Mountain Peatlands

Atmosphere
Permafrost peatlands in high-altitude regions store substantial amounts of organic carbon, yet the biogeochemical consequences of thermokarst collapse remain poorly understood.

Understanding barriers to upscaling ecosystem restoration: evidence from restoration projects

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
International policy efforts championing ecosystem restoration are underway in response to human‐induced ecosystem degradation. At the national scale, Norway is attempting to integrate restoration as a key policy target into its environmental governance and policy frameworks.
