Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Reduced Upwind Moisture Transport Contributes to Drought in the Agro‐Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract It remains unclear how changes in moisture supply drive droughts in the Agro‐Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (APENC), where ecological restoration and food security are increasingly vulnerable under warming. Using a moisture‐tracking model, we quantify the moisture sources of APENC's precipitation and its trends, and reveal mechanisms ...

Population Shrinkage and Spatio-Temporal Changes in Cultivated Land Use Efficiency in China’s Agro-Pastoral Ecotone

Land
Revealing the level of cultivated land use efficiency and its influencing factors in the northern agro-pastoral ecotone from the perspective of population contraction can provide a decision-making reference for ensuring national food security and ...

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

Integrative assessment and management implications on loss of ecosystem services value of desert-oasis ecotone due to artificial oasis expansion

Global Ecology and Conservation
The ecosystem services value (ESV) is essential for preventing environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. The expansion of artificial oases has led to a decrease in ESV in the desert-oasis ecotone of arid regions.

Prioritisation of wetlands of the Rangitikei catchment : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Natural Resource Management at Massey University [PDF]

, 2003
This study aimed to prioritise wetlands of the Rangitikei Catchment. The prioritisation will enable the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Council to apply its limited resources in an effective way to preserve the biodiversity of the wetlands of the catchment. A

Unlocking the Impact of Temperature and Salinity on Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Estuarine Salt Marsh Soils

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt marshes hold substantial potential for nature‐based climate solutions; yet their carbon sequestration potential is threatened by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under global warming and sea‐level rise (SLR). The combined effects of temperature and salinity on soil GHG emissions still remain unclear. This study integrated in situ monitoring

Treeline structure and regeneration pattern in protected and non-protected areas, Indian western Himalaya

Trees, Forests and People
Treeline ecotone in the Himalayan region is a relevant ecological indicator of environmental perturbations and anthropogenic disturbances. Given this, six representative sites (3 each in protected and non-protected areas) were selected for assessing ...

Sediment addition at the saltmarsh–mangrove ecotone shifts species dominance with implications for restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our results reveal that emerging ecological communities may tolerate and benefit from restoration similar to better studied temperate systems. However, we show that community composition in these habitats may shift and develop along different trajectories in response to restoration interventions, with implications for managers targeting specific post ...
