Tree regeneration trends in forests of the northeastern USA and their implications for resilience and restoration

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

Another Type of Downslope Windstorm in Smith's Model.

Papers in Meteorology and Geophysics, 1998
In a vertically 2-dimensional steady adiabatic fluid system, there exists a vorticity-like conserved quantity, which is a function of the stream function. In Smith (1985)'s original model of downslope windstorm, this function is assumed to be linear, and the proportionality constant to be negative.

State of the UK Climate in 2025

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue S1, July 2026.
This report provides a summary of the state of the UK's climate in 2025. It is one of a series of annual reports published in the International Journal of Climatology since 2018. It presents the latest assessment of UK climate trends, variations and extremes based on the most up to date observations from the land network of weather stations.

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.

Climate Change Projected to Increase Rates of Background Tree Mortality Across Eastern North America

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Background tree mortality is the ambient, natural death of trees that occurs without major disturbances. Using data from more than 24,000 forest plots across Canada and the United States, we found that warmer temperatures are linked to higher background tree mortality for many common tree species in eastern North America.

Downslope Windstorms over a 3-dimensional Mountain

Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 1996
The effect of 3-dimensionality of a mountain profile on downslope windstorms is analytically investigated. The mountain is immersed in a stably stratified uniform environmental flow. The case of an almost-2-dimensional mountain is considered. The mountain profile has a maximum and is nearly uniform in the cross-stream direction.

High‐Resolution Climate Simulations Over the Eastern Mediterranean Black Sea Region Using the Pseudo‐Global Warming Method With a CMIP6 Ensemble: Wind Energy Resource Availability

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Weather‐dependent renewable energy resources are already vulnerable to climate change. High‐resolution regional climate simulations are essential for accurately assessing how climate change may impact wind energy resources, particularly in regions with complex topography.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Sundowner Winds at Montecito during the Sundowner Winds Experiment

Atmosphere
This study investigates the predictability of downslope windstorms located in Santa Barbara County, California, locally referred to as Sundowner winds, from both observed relationships and a high-resolution, operational numerical weather prediction model.
