Intense windstorms in the northeastern United States [PDF]
, 2021 Windstorms are a major natural hazard in many countries. The objective of this study is to identify and characterize intense windstorms during the last 4 decades in the US Northeast and determine both the sources of cyclones responsible for these events ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1099-1113, September 2026.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 ...

Effects of Root Architecture on Plant Anchoring in Noncohesive Sediment
Journal 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

Fire–Moisture Interactions Shape Recovery Trajectories Across Temperate Vegetation Communities
Global 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

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

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 ...
