Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure, and Environmental Influences in Nepeta glomerulosa: Implications for Conservation in the Irano‐Turanian Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Nepeta glomerulosa shows moderate genetic diversity with three main clusters and significant admixture, highest in the Alborz Mountains, suggesting it may be the center of origin. High genetic differentiation (Gst = 0.4199) points to limited gene flow and possible self‐pollination, with geographic isolation shaping population structure.

Phylogenetic Diversity and Community Assembly of Vascular Plants Along Environmental Gradients in the Western Pamir–Alay: A Case Study From Surkhandarya Province, Southern Uzbekistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using extensive field, herbarium, and database records, we examine patterns of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and community assembly along elevational and climatic gradients in an understudied region of Central Asia. ABSTRACT Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in ecosystem structure, function, and stability, but its response to ...

Spatial Distribution and Conservation Prioritization of Medicinal Gymnosperms in China Using an Optimal Set‐Cover Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study identified 41 priority conservation grids and 8 critical conservation gaps not covered by national reserves for medicinal gymnosperms. We proposed a practical, multi‐dimensional framework for their conservation. ABSTRACT To elucidate the geographical distribution patterns and hotspots of medicinal gymnosperms in China, providing a scientific ...

Landslide susceptibility mapping using a machine learning approach and different environmental factors in the Western Ghats region (India)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Landslide susceptibility mapping in India's Western Ghats using machine learning revealed high‐risk zones driven by deforestation, slope alteration and road proximity. The Random Forest model showed highest accuracy, supporting targeted mitigation, planning and early warning systems.
