Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Eighteen boreholes in Colombia's Tropical Andes reveal elevation‐controlled Critical Zone architecture. Four‐layer weathering profiles with thick saprolite (≤48 m) form at high elevations (>1,100 m) where dense fracturing enhances permeability. Low‐elevation boreholes lack saprolite despite high fracture density, demonstrating fracturing's dual role as

The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Solar and Wind Energy Variability in Tropical South America: Seasonal Ocean‐Atmospheric Modulators
Climate variability affects renewable energy production and thus considering it in planning is essential for achieving sustainable development. We present how climate (ocean‐atmospheric) variability modes modulate wind and solar radiation variability, thereby influencing renewable power generation in tropical South America. El Niño/Southern Oscillation

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

Feijoa sellowiana (O. Berg), known as feijoa, is a South American fruit native to southern Brazil and northeastern Uruguay, with agronomic, nutritional, and industrial potential. Once restricted to its native range, the species is now cultivated in New Zealand, Colombia, and Georgia, where breeding programs and market chains are advancing its ...

Cultivating biodiversity: When conservation in agricultural landscapes embodies farmers' values
Abstract Efforts to conserve biodiversity in agricultural landscapes across Europe remain insufficient, as biodiversity further declines. This is sometimes ascribed to conservation policy failing to address the meanings and values that farmers attribute to the social and ecological contexts shaping their decisions influencing biodiversity.

Wildland–urban interface expansion: Towards comprehensive planning processes
Abstract Wildland–urban interface (WUI) expansion is accelerating in numerous regions around the world due to increasing amenity‐led migration processes, defined as the movement of people seeking higher environmental quality. While WUI areas are complex social–ecological systems requiring holistic planning and management, they are usually approached ...

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...
