Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Weather situation during observed ship-icing events off the coast of Northern Norway and the Svalbard archipelago

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2019
Ship icing may lead the ship and crew in great jeopardy. Usually, predictions of such ice build-up are based on the modelling of the heat fluxes capable of freezing sea water originated from wave-ship interactions.

From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...

When insurers retreat: The governance of wildfire disasters and how FAIR plans allocate climate risk

Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract As wildfire risk accelerates private insurer retreat, state‐governed FAIR Plans increasingly serve as the primary coverage available in hazard‐prone areas. This paper analyzes these residual markets as instruments of disaster governance, arguing that their design reflects distributive political choices regarding risk allocation.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1746-1762, September 2026.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

How Do Climatic Factors Directly Influence the Incidence and Risk of Meningococcal Meningitis Across the African Meningitis Belt? A Narrative Literature Review

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Globally, the highest incidence of meningococcal meningitis occurs within the African meningitis belt, spanning 26 countries across sub‐Saharan Africa. Meningococcal meningitis incidence is highly seasonal in this region specifically, with outbreaks mostly occurring during the dry season, characterized by low rainfall and atmospheric humidity,
