A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Dynamics of the aeolian landform at the coastal geosite of Parangtritis sand dune area, Yogyakarta

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
In 2014, Kelud, an active volcano in East Java, ejected ashes (hereafter termed KA; Kelud ash) that reportedly reached as far as Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY).

Configurational Fragility of Forest Landscapes Under Multiple Anthropic Uses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study revealed that 72.2% of forest fragments and 96.1% of savannas have high configurational fragility, with a predominance of High III and Intermediate I sublevels and occasional occurrences of low fragility (Low III). Fragility is driven by pastures (57.7%), showing that landscapes with the same forest cover differ in fragility depending on the

Restoration of wet dune slacks on the Dutch Wadden Sea islands:Recolonization after large-scale sod cutting [PDF]

, 2001
The effects of sod cutting were studied in a dune area on the Dutch Wadden Sea Island of Texel. Sod cutting was carried out in a range of different dune slacks in order to restore dune slack vegetation with many endangered Red List species.

Climate Change Reduces Habitat Suitability of the Endemic Iranian Ground‐Jay (Podoces pleskei): Spatial Analyses to Guide Conservation Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pleske's ground jay (Podoces pleskei), an endemic bird of Iran's drylands, faces severe habitat loss due to climate change and human activities. Using ecological niche models and GIS analyses, we identified key environmental drivers of its distribution and found that 52% of suitable habitat is projected to be lost, with much of the remaining range ...

Sporadic Appetites: Unearthing the Fungal Diets of Two Mycophagous Mammals Across an Australian Climate Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigated the fungal dietary preferences of boodies and woylies across Mediterranean, semi‐arid and arid regions of Australia using DNA metabarcoding of scat samples, providing a comprehensive molecular characterisation of mycophagous feeding patterns for these species across broad climate gradients.

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...

Coastal dunes: a primer for dune management with models of dune response to storm frequencies

, 2000
Because the preservation and restoration of coastal dunes can be almost entirely a community effort and responsibility, this booklet is directed towards assisting communities to understand dune processes and establish effective dune management programs ...

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?
