Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Impacts of Land Use and Flood Regime on Zooplankton Egg Banks in a Large River Floodplain

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Zooplankton egg banks are crucial in rebuilding zooplankton populations in temporary water bodies when favourable conditions return after dry periods. However, their abundance, viability, and hatching success depend on many factors, with changes in land use and flooding regimes being potentially crucial drivers.
