Industrial Hydrocarbons Exposure Deteriorates Sperm Integrity and Reproductive Function

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or metal fumes in the workplace may be detrimental to male fertility. The present study compared sperm concentration, total motility, strict morphology and oxidative stress and SDF levels between 81 men, controls (n = 17) and workers from plastic industry workers (n = 18), steel ...

Carbon‐Nutrient Interactions Under Insect Disturbance Simulated by the Land‐Surface Model QUINCY 21edff48

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Insect outbreaks significantly impact tree mortality and carbon‐nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet most terrestrial biosphere models do not represent insect disturbances due to the complexity of nutrient processes and limited data. To address this gap, we implemented a new insect impacts module in the QUINCY (Quantifying Interactions ...

A Robust, Low‐Cost Conductance Sensor for High Resolution Real‐Time Monitoring of Streambed Pore Water Dynamics

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The groundwater—surface‐water interface is an important regulator of many biogeochemical processes along river corridors. One of the main drivers of these processes is the pore water travel time along hyporheic flow paths. However, our understanding and ability to predict the spatial‐temporal dynamics of subsurface travel times are limited ...

The significance of tree retention on fungal communities and below‐ground stocks 12 years after harvest of boreal forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our results indicate that a decade after tree harvesting, ectomycorrhizal fungal community assembly shifted from stochastic to deterministic environmental filtering, with higher harvest intensity driving greater community differences. Certain Cortinarius species were harvest‐sensitive, while Piloderma cinicola increased at lower retention levels ...

Acorn caching hotspots of the Eurasian jay in pine plantations: Ecological basis for understorey management to assist oak regeneration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings show that Eurasian jay dispersal activity depends on specific understorey structures when selecting caching microsites—particularly shrub cover and standing pines. These features could be directly shaped by management to promote assisted natural oak regeneration.
