Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Terrestrial Poor Ecohealth Areas Continue to Expand Across Asian Drylands

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 7th Rio declaration principle emphasizes global collaboration to protect and restore ecosystem health. While dryland ecosystem health (EH) remains critical to global sustainability agendas, its long‐term regional dynamics remain poorly constrained across the Asian drylands (AD), where land management decisions increasingly shape ecological

Grain Expansion in China's Drylands Secures Food but Intensifies Environmental Trade‐Offs

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Drylands are increasingly crucial for global food supply, and grain cultivation there continues to expand. Newly cultivated croplands in these regions are often assumed to be biophysically marginal and low yielding. However, the food‐security benefits, environmental costs, and associated trade‐offs of this expansion remain insufficiently ...

Early–Late Carboniferous Tectonic Evolution of the Northern North China Craton (NE China): Constraints From Zircon Ages, Geochemistry, and Crustal Thickness Modeling

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2602-2616, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

Aridity‐dependent regulation of water‐use efficiency by leaf vein traits across grassland communities

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2462-2474, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Water transport is a fundamental constraint on plant growth in arid regions. Leaf vein architecture regulates carbon assimilation and transpiration through leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf), thereby influencing ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) via community‐level ...
