Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.A direct cascaded utilization strategy for spent LiFePO4 batteries efficiently extracts lithium from brine, embodying the “urban mining” concept. Phase fraction modulation revealed its significant impact on local bond lengths of crystal structure and the Li/Na diffusion energy barrier, identifying the best material (Li0.19FePO4) for lithium extraction.

Multi‐Element Soil‐Geochemistry Dataset, La Negra Formation, Chile
Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.We release a single‐protocol, fine‐earth (< 2 mm) soil‐geochemistry dataset of 101 soils, 15 field duplicates and 7 outcrop rock pulps, collected on two parallel north–south transects spanning six sectors of the La Negra Formation (Atacama Desert, Chile); 62 aqua‐regia‐extractable analytes by ICP‐MS, with six trace metals cross‐checked by AAS ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Finding Fireballs in Lightning: A Daily Pipeline to Find Meteors in Weather Satellite Data
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Weather satellite data contains a wealth of information well beyond its application to meteorology. The GOES weather satellite Geostationary Lightning Mapper instruments detect millions of lightning strikes per day. Within these “haystacks” of lightning are a handful of “needles” of bolides (aka bright fireballs, or exploding meteors). We have

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained. Here, we report geochemical trends in lake waters that vary across wet‐dry cycles as well as with regional location and ...

Lichens Bite the Dust – A Bioweathering Scenario in the Atacama Desert
iScience, 2020 Bioweathering mediated by microorganisms plays a significant role in biogeochemical cycles on global scales over geological timescales. Single processes induced by specific taxa have been described but could rarely be demonstrated for complex communities that dominate whole landscapes.

Global Distribution and Future Projections of Functional Groups Within Extremotolerant Soil Fungi
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.Ecological lifestyles determine the global distribution and future redistribution of extremotolerant soil fungi. ABSTRACT Black fungi are often described as ubiquitous specialists of harsh environments (extremotolerant), yet how their ecological lifestyles vary across environmental gradients remains poorly understood. Here, we use a global soil dataset

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...
