Biogeomorphic Feedbacks Triggered by Mangrove Degradation at the Seaward Margin Accelerate Persistent Vegetation Decline

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Seaward mangrove edge exhibited significant retreat after extreme disturbances. Rhizophora stylosa exhibited impaired regeneration and root damage in heavily disturbed areas, trait variation primarily responded to elevation and sediment properties, vegetation loss triggered subsidence, creating a positive biogeomorphic feedback loop.

Tailoring Thermophysical Properties and Multiscale Machine Learning Modeling of 2D Nanomaterial‐Infused Beeswax as a Green NePCM for Sustainable Thermal Management Systems

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study develops eco‐friendly two‐dimensional nanoparticle‐enhanced phase change materials (2D NePCMs) using biodegradable beeswax infused with rGO, GO, and MXene nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated up to 21.9% enhancement in thermal conductivity with minimal latent heat loss, while machine learning models achieved >95% predictive ...

Reinstatement of the name Anisochilus eriocephalus Benth. (Lamiaceae) supported by micromorphological and molecular data

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
In 2019, A. J. Paton et al. proposed a new taxonomic combination, transferring Anisochilus carnosus (L.f.) Wall. ex Benth. to Coleus strobilifer (Benth.) A.J.Paton, and including Anisochilus eriocephalus Benth. within this broader circumscription.

Rediscovery of Passiflora clypeophylla (subgenus Decaloba): a highly threatened and narrow endemic species found within a karstic canyon in Guatemala

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a

Software to Support Remote Sensing of River Discharge Based on Critical Flow Theory

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 915-928, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water resource management requires accurate observations of streamflow but standard field methods for measuring river discharge ( Q ) can be costly and hazardous for equipment and personnel. Remote sensing has become a viable alternative, but many image‐based techniques require field data for calibration, and depth and velocity can seldom be ...

Cable Layout Optimization of Offshore Wind Farm Based on Global Dynamic Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind energy has become one of the most promising new energy resources. In the construction of offshore wind farms, the cable accounts for about 10% of the total investment, and the optimization of the cable layout is necessary for reducing the total cost of the wind farm. In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm for the optimization of the

Cryptic Paleomagnetic Complexity in the Ediacaran Egersund Dikes

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Ediacaran Period (∼635–539 Ma) represents a critical interval in Earth's evolution, yet its paleomagnetic record remains complex and contentious. One of the few Ediacaran paleomagnetic results from Baltica considered robust is a pole from the ca.

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.
