Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Tracking Water Dynamics of a Temperate Forest Under Drought and Non‐Drought Conditions Using Active and Passive Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Water status, water dynamics, and ecohydrological resilience of a protected German beech forest during the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought are assessed using over six years of multi‐frequency remote sensing data, integrating active, passive, and optical sensors with varying canopy penetration depths, highlighting the importance of monitoring ...

APPLICATION OF SPATIAL MODELLING IN THE KARST BIOCLIMATOLOGY [PDF]

, 1996
The possibilities of the raster-GlS topoclimatic modelling and its applicability in the Karst bioclimatology have been generally presented. The short descriptions of the particular models derived from the digital elevation model include: terrain slope ...

Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.

Vulnerability to Heat Effects and Regional Inequalities Among Older Adults in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Journal of Ageing and Longevity
Older adults are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat, but evidence of the role of social factors in regional heat vulnerability remains limited. To assess the impacts of heat waves on cardiorespiratory hospitalizations and mortality, we developed a ...

Birch Transpiration Is Not the Main Reason for Insufficient Water Levels in a Rewetted Bog

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural bogs have high water level (WL) that prevents peat decomposition and promotes bog‐specific vegetation. Especially in rewetted bogs, increasing tree encroachment is observed in combination with low WL. Simultaneously, a general shift in vegetation and microform distribution is visible.

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 747-761, April 2026.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...
