River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10308-10323, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9266-9279, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Use of Invasive Rugulopteryx okamurae Beach Wrack as Habitat and Food by Talitrus saltator

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The introduction of non‐native algae into coastal waters has increased worldwide, causing a range of ecological and socio‐economic impacts. However, when stranded on beaches as wrack, these invasive algae can provide refuge and food for supralittoral organisms, potentially benefiting local fauna communities and beach functioning. In this study,

A Field Tool for the Rapid Measurement of Mussel Valve Closure Strength as a Proxy for Condition

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are key to the health of many freshwater systems through the ecosystem functions and services they provide, yet their populations are declining across the globe. To address these declines with appropriate conservation actions, it is necessary to apply informative tools for measuring and monitoring mussel health ...

MaxEnt Projections of Climate‐Driven Distribution Shifts for Daphniphyllum calycinum in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using an optimized MaxEnt model, this study projects climate‐driven distribution shifts of Daphniphyllum calycinum, an ecologically and medicinally important subtropical tree in China. Results reveal that annual mean temperature and dry season precipitation primarily govern its distribution, with future warming scenarios projecting significant habitat ...

Effects of Long‐Term Thinning on Soil Nematode Communities in Pinus taiwanensis Plantations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Moderate thinning (20% tree removal) optimizes soil resource distribution and boosts soil nematode community diversity and stability in Pinus taiwanensis plantations. Fungivorous and omnivorous‐predatory nematodes are enriched under moderate thinning, indicating trophic cascading effects in soil food webs. Moderate thinning drives nematode life‐history

Potent Therapeutic Insights From Eryngium campestre: Phytochemical Profiling and In Vitro Evaluation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
The phytochemical profiles and biological activity of ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol‐water, and water extracts of Eryngium campestre were assessed. E. campestre is a prospective source of multifunctional bioactive chemicals for food and nutraceutical uses, as demonstrated by the extracts' potential antioxidant, enzyme‐inhibitory, anticancer ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...
