A review of preferential flow and transport through root channels

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Preferential flow can contribute up to 80%–90% of the flow and transport in the vadose zone. The root channels are the most prevalent form of preferential pathways. They create an evolving network of preferential pathways and are biogeochemical hotspots due to preferential transport of nutrients and other organics, colonization of bacteria ...

Genome-wide unraveling of the AUX/IAA family in Avena sativa L. with observations on seedling root growth and stress resilience

Frontiers in Plant Science
The Aux/IAA gene family plays a central role in auxin signaling and plant development. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed a genome-wide identification of the Aux/IAA gene family in Avena sativa.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

The spatial differentiation of alpine wetlands on the eastern Tibetan Plateau using multi-source remote sensing images

Frontiers in Remote Sensing
The alpine wetlands on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (EQTP) serve as a critical global ecological barrier. Under the dual pressures of climate change and human activities, these wetland systems face environmental challenges such as retrogressive ...

Quantifying Deep Groundwater Contributions to Streamflow With Inequality‐Constrained EEMMA From Sparse Isotope Series in Alpine Permafrost Basins

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In alpine permafrost basins, dry‐season runoff largely depends on subpermafrost groundwater (BPG, deep groundwater), yet cryohydrogeological conditions are complicated by time‐varying hydrothermal regimes. Combined with the storage and regulation effects of permafrost on runoff, hydrograph‐based estimates of the fractional contribution of BPG ...

Toward Peace With Nature: Protected Areas Effectively Mitigate Wild Ungulate‐Livestock Competition Despite Spatial Mismatch on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Competition for forage between wild ungulates and grazing livestock poses a critical challenge for sustaining grassland ecosystems and pastoral livelihoods. Protected areas (PAs) may mitigate competition, but quantitative multi‐species assessments that simultaneously integrate habitat overlap, forage availability, and conservation ...

Does wetland degradation impact bird diversity differently across seasons? A case study of Zoige Alpine Wetland ecosystem

Avian Research
Wetland degradation is an escalating global challenge with profound impacts on animal diversity, particularly during successional processes. Birds, as highly mobile and environmentally sensitive organisms, serve as effective indicators of ecological ...

Continental to Meter Scale Climatic, Topographic, and Geomorphological Gradients Control Soil Organic Carbon Distribution in Complex Arctic Terrain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Arctic soils store large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), yet landscape‐scale variability remains poorly constrained, especially in complex mountainous regions that can be found across the Arctic. Understanding climate change impacts on Arctic carbon dynamics requires in‐depth knowledge of SOC controls, given multiple drivers and ...

Mapping Groundwater‐Dependent Ecosystems for Contiguous China With Selected Hydroclimatic Windows

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Groundwater‐dependent ecosystems (GDEs) provide critical ecosystem services in arid and semiarid regions and help sustain ecosystems during droughts in humid areas. Accurate mapping of GDEs is essential for improving water resource management and ecosystem conservation.
