Multi‐Scale Pathways to Integrated Protection and Restoration of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes, and Grasslands in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area: A Social‐Ecological Systems Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10546-10565, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Controls on Phytoplankton Growth and Bacterioplankton Communities in Wetland Impoundments

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Characterization of peat, limnic, and mineral horizons in Eastern Canada Histosols

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract North American populations rely on a supply of fresh produce from drained and cultivated Histosols. However, peat thickness decreases over time due to many soil degradation mechanisms, gradually giving way to limnic and mineral soil materials in the vadose zone, generally viewed as less fertile and affecting soil chemical properties. More soil

Assessing Dominant Uncertainties in Future Precipitation Projections for a Hurricane‐Prone Region

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Accurate projection of future precipitation remains challenging due to uncertainties in reference data sets, bias correction and global climate models (GCMs). Here, we evaluated these uncertainties across 13 major cities of the U.S. Gulf Coast, a hurricane‐prone region, under 192 historical and future scenarios.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 677-688, July 2026.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Assessing Abundance and Species Composition of Thrips (Thysanoptera) in Florida Lettuce Fields and Optimizing Monitoring Methods

open access: yesInsects
Frankliniella occidentalis is a major threat to lettuce production due to its role in transmitting Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV). To better understand the potential risk of INSV outbreaks in Florida lettuce production areas, this study aimed to ...

Sponges survive and develop infaunal snapping shrimp communities when transplanted immediately after clonal propagation: implications for restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...
