Mountain Waves in High Resolution Forecast Models: Automated Diagnostics of Wave Severity and Impact on Surface Winds

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2017
An automated method producing a diagnostic of the severity of lee waves and their impacts on surface winds as represented in output from a high resolution linear numerical model (3D velocities over mountains (3DVOM)) covering several areas of the U.K. is

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

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

open access: yesWeather 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.

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

open access: yesInsect 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.

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

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...

Living in the E‐Commerce Countryside: Place Attachment and the Negotiation of Place Change in Rural China

open access: yesJournal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid digitization is transforming rural communities worldwide, yet current scholarship remains dominated by macro‐economic analyses. This study examines the micro‐dynamics of engagement in E‐commerce villages through the lens of lived experience.

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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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.

Effects of Root Architecture on Plant Anchoring in Noncohesive Sediment

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Plant roots stabilize sediment in engineered and natural landscapes, but we lack a general understanding of how root architecture affects anchoring forces. Existing models can accurately simulate root breakage and soil failure, but such models primarily rely on experimentally calibrated empirical relations between root geometry characteristics

Effect of a Diabatic Forcing on Downslope Windstorms

open access: yesJournal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 1997
The effect of a diabatic forcing on downslope windstorms is analytically investigated in a 2-dimensional steady hydrostatic system. The environmental flow is assumed to have a uniform horizontal velocity with a constant buoyancy frequency. A diabatic forcing is considered in which the material derivative of potential temperature is proportional to ...

Fire–Moisture Interactions Shape Recovery Trajectories Across Temperate Vegetation Communities

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Future recovery from fire will be governed not only by characteristics of the fire itself and those of the affected vegetation community, but also by the extent to which these characteristics interact with prevailing hydro‐climatic conditions. Favourable soil moisture conditions post‐fire increase the likelihood that ecosystems will recover to a stable
