Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 860-871, April 2026.Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...

State of the Practice − Sub‐Aqueous In‐Situ Solidification for Contaminated Sediment Remediation
Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 4, Autumn 2026.ABSTRACT In‐situ solidification (ISS) has emerged as a cost‐effective and versatile technology for sediment remediation, particularly for addressing contamination at greater sediment depths. This paper evaluates ISS in the context of conventional sediment remediation approaches, highlighting its advantages, design and implementation considerations, and

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.This report presents a case of wound myiasis caused by Chrysomya bezziana which resulting from a small wound sustained by a spectator of “Tip‐Cat‐sport.” After all maggots were removed, wound debridement followed by surgical excision of the affected tissue and a skin graft was performed. After two months, the wound completely healed.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.This study evaluated whether artificial shelters can mimic the microclimatic benefits of foundation shrubs to support vertebrate biodiversity in dryland ecosystems facing desertification. Surveys conducted at Californian desert sites (2022–2023) showed that artificial shelters increased vertebrate abundance and richness, performing comparably to native

Biomass‐Derived Carbon Photocatalysts for Organic Pollutant Degradation: Strategies and Perspectives
Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.Recent advances in biomass‐derived carbon photocatalysts are highlighted, focusing on synthesis, surface engineering, and mechanisms such as ROS generation and band‐gap tuning. Heteroatom doping, heterojunctions, and hybrid architectures boost visible‐light activity, while scalability and stability challenges are addressed for practical environmental ...

Field Observations of Decreasing Rock Fracturing Rates Over Geologic Time
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Rock fracturing regulates the topography, carbon cycle, geologic hazards, and infrastructure degradation of the Earth. Yet, there remains a paucity of constraints on long‐term fracturing behavior. Here we use field measurements of 2221 clasts across a range of environments and rock types to show that the number and total length of fractures in

Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume
Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 62-83, Winter 2026.Abstract A field experiment evaluated the transport of organic contaminants in a plume from hazardous waste disposal areas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plume contained many xenobiotic contaminants, with widely varying expected mobilities.

Dynamic Risk From Mexican Wolves and Mountain Lions Influences Elk Foraging Behavior
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We observed elk foraging across a wolf risk gradient throughout all seasons and diel periods to quantify proportions of foraging, intense vigilance, and multitasking at the individual and herd levels. We quantified encounter and kill risk from Mexican wolves and mountain lions using habitat selection functions and utilization distributions.
