Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1692-1704, June 2026.
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Inter‐Annual Variation in Alpha and Beta Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities in Agricultural Ditches

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 997-1010, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Helwingia omeiensis: the first genome in the family Helwingiaceae

Scientific Data
Helwingia, a shrub of the monotypic cosmopolitan family Helwingiaceae, is distinguished by its inflorescence, in which flowers are borne on the midrib of the leaf—a trait not commonly observed in related plant families. Previous studies have investigated

Changes in keystone species attenuate the complexity and stability of soil microbial networks during alpine meadow degradation

Ecological Indicators
In recent years, intensified human activities and climate change have led to the significant degradation of grasslands worldwide. Soil microbial network structure and function are crucial indicators of grassland degradation.

Great Slave Lake as a Key Modulator of Dissolved Organic Carbon Fluxes From Boreal Landscapes to the Mackenzie River

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes in boreal freshwater systems is critical for constraining high‐latitude carbon budgets and anticipating climate‐driven changes. Here, we present a retrospective assessment (2000–2024) of DOC fluxes in the Upper Mackenzie River watershed, focusing on Great Slave Lake (GSL), a key hydrological ...

Characterizing and Detecting Multiscenario Degradation of the Maidika Alpine Wetland Nature Reserve in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Using Landsat Time Series

Monitoring alpine wetland degradation on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is crucial for understanding the responses to and resilience against climate change but has been challenging due to limited images in cloudy high-mountain areas.

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.

Cross‐realm incidental and cobenefits in freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity conservation planning

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Single‐realm planning can yield cross‐realm cobenefits, demonstrating strong potential for integrated conservation strategies. Integrating these cobenefits into cross‐realm planning is key to advancing the ‘30 × 30’ biodiversity targets. Abstract Freshwater species face greater threats than terrestrial ones; however, conservation efforts for freshwater

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 ...
