Optimizing Hybrid Wind–Solar Systems in Barren Land Under Constraints Imposed by Atmospheric Aerosols

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract By using a solar photovoltaic (PV) performance model and applying it to global data from 2000 to 2022, we demonstrated that although the net impact of aerosols on power generation was negative, this loss was almost entirely driven by soiling of panel surfaces and could be mitigated by developing an appropriate cleaning regime.

Dynamics of Rainfall‐NDVI Relationships: Testing the Pulse‐Reserve and Two‐Layer Hypotheses

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Water availability significantly affects vegetation in dry regions. We studied how Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) relates to rainfall pulses, or soil water reservoirs, across three continents: Australia, North America, and the Middle East, from 2011 to 2022.

Quantifying Vegetation Dependence on Groundwater: Evidence From Northern China's Drylands

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Groundwater is a critical source for vegetation in drylands, yet the quantification of vegetation dependence on groundwater (VDG) remains underexplored. Understanding this dependence is essential for unraveling vegetation‐groundwater interactions and informing sustainable water resources management in drylands.

Reductions in Climate Zone Changes Under Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Compared to Unabated Warming

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract As the goals of the Paris Agreement struggle to be met, interest in stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) has increased due to its potential to reduce the impacts of anthropogenic warming. SAI would aim to cool the Earth by injecting sulfate aerosols or their precursors into the stratosphere, reflecting incoming sunlight back to space ...

Saturation‐Constrained and Spatially Heterogeneous Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Following Bare Land Restoration in China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration represents a critical nature‐based strategy for atmospheric CO2 mitigation. Yet, the magnitudes and dynamics of SOC accrual following bare land restoration have not been rigorously quantified at a large scale.
