Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Chemical weathering is of wide interest because it breaks down minerals, releases nutrients, weakens rock, and draws down atmospheric CO2. To quantify the sensitivity of soil chemical erosion rate to climate and dust, we measured soil chemical erosion rate, dust deposition rate, and soil climate at 18 ridgetop sites along a ∼2.8‐km elevation ...

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

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 ...
