Drought conditions reorder plant communities through expansion of spatially sparse and temporally intermittent species

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The frequency and severity of droughts are increasing in grasslands globally. Forecasting changes in community composition is challenging due to the direct and indirect effects of drought as well as varied species ecologies. Rare species are predicted to be more susceptible to perturbations, but extreme drought may also disproportionately ...

Warming‐Induced Shifts in Relative Humidity Reshape Global Soil Organic Carbon Storage

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We developed a four‐dimensional deep learning framework for predicting global soil organic carbon (SOC). It generates spatially explicit, soil depth‐resolved, and temporally connected SOC estimates. ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) underpins food production, ecosystem functioning, and climate regulation.

Pollen–vegetation–climate relationships in some desert and desert-steppe communities in northern China

, 2011
In this paper, we consider the relationship between pollen assemblages, vegetation and climate in some desert and desert-steppe areas in northern China using both surface soil samples and pollen trap samples.

Climate‐Driven Shifts in Wind Energy Potential Across Central Asia Based on a Multi‐Model Ensemble and Tier‐Based Assessment

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study presents a climate‐informed framework for assessing future wind energy potential across Central Asia using bias‐corrected Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) 100 m wind‐speed projections. Integrating Weibull characterization, seasonal variability, exceedance probabilities, and scenario sensitivity, the framework identifies ...

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10979-10992, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Contributions of Vegetation Restoration to Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Deserts of China: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10573-10584, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vegetation restoration has been widely used to curb desertification in northern and central desert shifting sandy lands of China. However, the general pattern, variability, and drivers of its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) remain unclear.
