From conflict to collaboration: how local natural resource management conventions foster peacebuilding between farmers and herders in central Mali

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract In the Inner Niger Delta, socio‐spatial transformations have profoundly reshaped relationships between communities and natural resources, intensifying tensions around access and management. In this context, local conventions (LCs) have emerged as essential instruments of social and environmental regulation in response to resource degradation ...

Widespread Co‐Location of Less Frequent and More Intense Daily Precipitation Over Land

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Under increasingly variable rainfall, trends toward more intense and less frequent daily‐scale precipitation have been identified using regional and global averages. However, it has not been explicitly demonstrated whether and where these trends are co‐located, which is important given their potential impacts on land surface processes.

Holocene Hydroclimatic Variations Over Western and Central Asia as Inferred From Speleothem Isotope Evidence

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Recent studies have found a dipole pattern of hydroclimate variation in western Asia (WA) and arid central Asia (ACA) during the Holocene. However, speleothem δ18O evidence shows some inconsistencies with other lines of evidence, especially concerning the timing of peak wetness in WA and precipitation trends in ACA.

Quantifying the land‐use change due to soybean‐based biodiesel in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 20-47, March 2026.
Abstract We quantify the impact of soybean oil‐based biodiesel production on US cropland, using a method that accounts for the intermediate effect of soybean crushing facilities. Based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data for biodiesel production and proprietary data for soybean crushing facilities over 2011–2020, we find that the elasticities ...
