Seasonal Dietary Changes Drive Adaptive Responses in the Gut Microbiota and Function of Myotis chinensis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This research clarifies the synergistic adaptive interactions between seasonal foraging strategies and gut microbiome composition in Chinese chiropterans. Microbial diversity and community structure exhibit seasonal fluctuations, with functional metabolic pathways aligning to host reproductive cycles and hibernation physiology, thereby substantiating ...

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...

Experimental and Numerical Study on Enhancing the Performance of a Stepped Solar Still Using Porous Sponge Materials

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1456-1473, March 2026.
Three designs were built and tested: a single‐slope still, a six‐stepped still, and a six‐stepped still with 5 mm sponge sheets. The novelty lies in fixing porous sponge sheets to the vertical faces of the steps. Yield of freshwater and instantaneous efficiency were determined in various combinations, that is, base, stepped, and stepped‐cum‐sponge ...

Groundwater Dependency and Hydroclimatic Influences on Riparian and Upland Vegetation Productivity, Upper San Pedro, Arizona, United States

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Remotely sensed vegetation condition is most sensitive to groundwater variability during monsoon seasons, when precipitation is abundant and plants are most productive. Compared to the surrounding uplands, riparian (groundwater dependent) vegetation greenness is more sensitive to vapour pressure deficit, but similarly sensitive to precipitation ...

Using Geophysical Observations of a Tracer Injection in a Riparian Aquifer to Explore How Bimodal Transport and Mixing Influences Nitrate Processing

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our results embrace a simple conceptual model of preferential flow to illuminate the relationships among riparian groundwater nitrate concentration, flow dynamics, and substrate composition in stream corridors loaded with elevated nitrate from agricultural activities.
