Toward an urban soil health index: Emerging indicators for exposure, function, and resilience

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Urban soils are among the most dynamic and human‐impacted soil systems, yet most soil health frameworks remain rooted in agricultural assumptions, capturing fertility and structure while missing urban‐specific concerns: contaminant exposure, extreme heterogeneity, thermal stress, and degraded ecosystem services.

A Path to Better Science Through Co‐Creation and Open Infrastructure

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Proprietary development solutions are often perceived as being delivered more quickly and easily than open methods, fueling the misconception that they inherently produce better overall outcomes. However, we argue that open development practices can lead to both efficient and maximally impactful outcomes.

Converging Vocabulary, Diverging Attribution: Resilience Concepts and the Acting Subject in the National Disaster Risk Management Strategies of 25 EU Member States

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT European disaster risk management has converged on a shared resilience vocabulary faster than on a shared account of who is expected to produce resilience. This article codes 2218 passages from 38 strategic documents in 25 EU member states along two dimensions: resilience type (engineering, ecological, transformative) and governance ...

A Critical Analysis of Barriers to Practical Training and Exercising in UK Fire Service Control Rooms: Evidence‐Informed Recommendations for Enhanced Operational Preparedness

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Persistent weaknesses in training for UK Fire and Rescue Service control rooms may undermine operational preparedness, despite their critical role in emergency response. Public inquiries and inspections repeatedly highlight inconsistent, underdeveloped training provision. This study examines barriers to practical training and proposes evidence‐

Limited Agreement Between Perceptual and Physiological Heat Strain at Initial Stay Times for Continuous Work in the Heat Before Heat Alleviation Controls

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 972-983, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate assessment of heat strain at initial stay time (IST; core temperature 38.0°C or Δ1.0°C above resting), when heat mitigation decisions are required, is critical for managing occupational heat exposure. We evaluated the relationship and agreement between physiological (Physiological Strain Index [PSI] and adaptive PSI [aPSI]

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 4085-4098, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of
