Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 226, Issue 1, September 2026.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

The Essence of Crisis Decision‐Making: Saving Ravenna During the 2023 Floods

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores decision‐making processes in crisis situations by proposing an interpretive framework grounded in multiple criteria of rationality. Crises, characterized by uncertainty, urgency, and ethical dilemmas, require critical choices that go beyond standard procedures.

Spatial Patterns and Controlling Factors of River Flow Intermittency in Africa

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding river flow intermittency remains a major challenge in data‐scarce regions such as Africa. This study presents the first high‐resolution, four‐class intermittency map of African rivers using a sequential modeling approach based on Random Forest. A binary model (BC‐UNS) distinguishes perennial from non‐perennial reaches across 15.5

Beyond the Metrics: Context‐Aware Calibration for Better Drain Flow Modelling

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 659-668, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Robust hydrological and water quality modelling is essential for advancing the understanding and management of engineered agricultural subsurface drainage systems. Achieving credible model output hinges on calibration strategies that are both rigorous and context sensitive. At the field scale, accurately capturing the dynamics of nutrient load

Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 840-855, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...

The Seasonal Impact of the Island Mass Effect on Coastal Biogeochemistry and Phytoplankton Assemblage: The Case of the Tropical and Volcanic Island of Guadeloupe (French West Indies)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Island Mass Effect (IME) in tropical regions remains understudied, despite its potential to fertilize oligotrophic oceanic gyres and impact on higher trophic levels. Guadeloupe provides an ideal case study of IME due to its diverse nutrient sources, dual exposure to the Caribbean Sea on the western coast and Atlantic Ocean on the eastern ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Riverine Inputs in Guadeloupe (French West Indies): Insights From More Than 12 Years of Monitoring

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Riverine solute fluxes peak during the wet season, emphasising the role of tropical rainfall in driving nutrient delivery to the ocean. Seasonal peaks in nutrient fluxes highlight the need for longer‐term monitoring to detect potential interannual trends.

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 35-55, March 2026.
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...
