Evolving Fire Frequency in the Western United States and Its Links to Human Influence

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Burned area and wildfire damages in the western United States (WUS) have increased dramatically in recent decades. Wildfire frequency, however, has shown trends that vary by data set, region, and fire size. Using a comprehensive fire occurrence data set screened for reporting artifacts from 1992 to 2020, we show a significant downward trend in

Seismicity, Repeating Earthquakes, and Tomographic Imaging of the Blanco Transform Fault System, Northeast Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.

Aspect Asymmetry in Martian Gullies: A Topographic Signature of Their Formation Process?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On Mars, erosional‐depositional landforms named gullies provide natural experiments for studying the topographic signature of the processes that act on hillslope evolution. High‐resolution topographic data were used to quantitatively compare the steepness of opposing walls in gully alcoves incised into ice‐rich slopeside mantling deposits.

Future Decline in the Buffering Effect of Canopy Water on Ecosystem Water‐Use Efficiency in Tropical Forests

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests are crucial for mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration and maintaining hydro‐ecological balance by regulating vegetation‐climate feedbacks. However, their ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) is anticipated to decline due to intensifying water stresses, including atmospheric aridity and soil drought (SD). While

Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...
