Relation between environmental variables and the fish community structure in streams of das Mortes and Xingu river basins – MT, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2013 Environmental variables may determine and structure the composition of fish fauna. Studies comparing differences between physical and chemical variables of water between close river basins are few.

The importance of forest structure for carbon fluxes of the Amazon rainforest
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Precise descriptions of forest productivity, biomass, and structure are essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climatic and anthropogenic changes. However, relations between these components are complex, in particular for tropical forests. We

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract The influence of the spatial organization of tropical convection on the production of extreme instantaneous localized tropical rain rates remains poorly constrained, both in observations and in models. Using retrievals from the Ku‐band radar onboard the GPM satellite, we identify tropical precipitation features (PFs) and quantify their ...

The Growing Role of Evaporative Demand in Driving Record‐Breaking Droughts in the Amazon Basin
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Amazon droughts have historically been driven by precipitation deficits, but recent escalating drought events highlight a regime shift toward “hot droughts.” By decomposing historical drought drivers (1979–2024), we show that rising evaporative demand (represented by potential evapotranspiration, PET) now acts as a primary driver of drought ...

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.Evaluating Piper marginatum essential oils across three Brazilian biomes reveals significant chemical and antimicrobial variations driven by seasonal and regional factors. Sixty compounds are identified, including a novel (Z)‐phenylpropanoid reported for the first time. Multivariate analysis correlates environmental stressors with specialized metabolic

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 12, October 2026.We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Bauhinia naniflora: a new species of section Amaria (Cercidoideae: Leguminosae) from Colombia
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Bauhinia, the most species‐rich genus of Cercidoideae (Leguminosae), is pantropically distributed and includes four sections in the Americas. During an ongoing taxonomic revision of American Cercidoideae, a new species of Bauhinia sect. Amaria ser. Decandrae currently endemic to Colombia was identified and is here described as Bauhinia naniflorasp nov.

Participatory mapping and Nature's Contributions to People: Insights from the Amazon Delta
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3618-3632, October 2026.Abstract Understanding how traditional and coastal communities perceive and interact with nature is key to promoting inclusive conservation. This article examines human–nature interaction in the fishing village of Jubim, located in the Marajó Archipelago, delta of the Amazon River, Brazil.

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract As a key component of the climate system, terrestrial carbon dynamics are commonly simulated using Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), which provide essential information for estimating the global carbon budget. However, substantial uncertainties persist in DGVM‐based estimates of land‐use change carbon emissions, and their process‐level
