Characterising Ecosystem Composition, Structure and Function of Alternative Stable States in Temperate Forests of South‐Eastern Australia

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Alternative stable states established following repeated short‐interval fires in resprouting Eucalyptus temperate forests were associated with declines across multiple ecosystem functions. For example, carbon storage potential was significantly reduced (b: p < 0.001), with alternative states storing substantially less carbon than reference forests ...

Microspherules formed by lightning strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 743-767, May 2026.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Dead wood characterisation in chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) coppices in the Aspromonte (Southern Italy)

Forest@, 2008
This research aimed to provide further qualitative and quantitative information on the presence of dead wood in the forests of Southern Italy. Investigations were made in two unmanaged chestnut coppices, 40 and 45 years old, growing in the Aspromonte ...

Mountain‐top spherules: Criteria to identify natural and synthetic particles

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 898-913, May 2026.
Abstract Natural microspherules are important tracers of geologic and environmental processes in modern and ancient deposits. However, anthropogenic contamination can dilute natural collections by releasing synthetic microspherules into the environment.

Effects of low‐tech, process‐based restoration on riparian plant communities and soil moisture of streams in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the United States

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.

Hump‐Shaped Enhancement of Coarse‐Grain Transport in Sediment Mixtures Induced by Fine Grains of Different Sizes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Bedload transport of sediment mixtures is fundamental to river morphology and impacts aquatic ecology. Adding fine grains enhances coarse‐grain transport, yet controlling mechanisms remain elusive. Employing discrete element simulations, we examine how fine‐grain size and proportion influence coarse‐grain flux.
