Changing Aerodynamic Roughness in WRF Reduces Bias and Improves Accuracy in Near‐Surface Wind Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Accurate simulation of near‐surface wind speed is crucial for applications in renewable energy, dust emission, and air quality modeling. However, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model systematically over‐estimates 10 m wind speed due to simplified representations of surface roughness and momentum exchange.

Severity of Compound Precipitation and Temperature Extreme Events Over Africa at 1.5°C and 2°C Global Warming Levels

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
Results indicate that, an increase in global warming level from 1.5°C to 2°C is likely to induce on the one hand a 3‐fold increase in the frequency of occurrence of dry and warm compound events, and on the other hand a 2‐fold increase in their duration, over West, Central, South‐West, and South‐East Africa, intensifying droughts through reduced ...

The multifaceted roles of the ACSL family in cancer: Metabolic reprogramming, ferroptosis regulation and tumour immune microenvironment remodelling

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The acyl‐CoA synthetase long‐chain (ACSL) family consists of five members, which exhibit a synergistic effect in promoting tumour lipid metabolism for energy supply. Specifically, ACSL3 and ACSL4 have antagonistic effects on the mechanisms related to ferroptosis in tumour cells.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Orchestrate Soil Microbial Community Assembly Along a Salix cupularis Restoration Chronosequence in a Desertified Alpine Grassland

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our findings indicate that fungal communities exhibit higher sensitivity and highlight the dynamic regulatory function of AMF, especially under dual‐mycorrhizal symbiosis. These results provide novel mechanistic insights into soil microbe trajectories, suggesting that targeted AMF inoculation is crucial for the early‐to‐mid establishment phase of ...

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...
