Alternative Future Vegetation Pathways Reveal Potential Transformations of Western US Ecosystems. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe used climate‐analog impact models (AIMs) to project changes in vegetation across the western United States under a mid‐21st century climate scenario, characterize ecological transformation vulnerability based on projection divergence, and demonstrate how AIMs can inform decision‐making.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...

A framework for in‐stream jams formed by snow avalanche‐delivered large wood
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.Large wood delivered by avalanches organizes into blanket or transport jam complexes.Jam complexes increase channel width and promote pool and bar formation. Avalanche frequency and magnitude, which are dependent on hillslope angle and roughness characteristics, controls jam complex type.

Algal Blooms in Lakes Increase After Wildfire Smoke Events in the Contiguous United States
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.Temporary pulses of surface chlorophyll‐a are identified following wildfire smoke events in lakes and reservoirs across the United States. ABSTRACT Area burned by wildfire has increased in the contiguous United States and in many places globally in recent years, impacting communities and ecosystems nearby and even far downwind of fires. We examined the

Wildland–urban interface expansion: Towards comprehensive planning processes
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 754-766, March 2026.Abstract Wildland–urban interface (WUI) expansion is accelerating in numerous regions around the world due to increasing amenity‐led migration processes, defined as the movement of people seeking higher environmental quality. While WUI areas are complex social–ecological systems requiring holistic planning and management, they are usually approached ...
