TRANSNATIONAL GENTRIFICATION IN NISEKO, JAPAN: A Model of Displacement Led by Linked Migration

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Transnational gentrification scholarship has provided insights into how transnational migration reshapes urban areas, yet its analytical lens has rarely extended to peripheral rural contexts outside Euro‐American settings, where distinct actors and mechanisms may emerge.

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Fractal Analysis, Morpho‐Sedimentary Aspects and Coastal Vulnerability in Mediterranean Islands: A Novel Approach

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
An integrated framework combining fractal geometry, sedimentology and coastal exposure analysis revealed higher coastal vulnerability in Procida than in Mykonos despite the latter's greater shoreline complexity. This approach provides a robust tool for assessing morphodynamics and supporting sustainable management of Mediterranean island coasts ...

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Long‐term trends in greenness in the alpine zone of northeastern North America from remote sensing

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Alpine zones above treeline in the Appalachian Mountains and adjacent ranges of northeastern North America support distinctive ecological communities that thrive where conditions are too harsh for trees to grow. These communities differ from alpine zones elsewhere on the continent and are a regionally important source of floristic biodiversity,
