Geographic and Molecular Insights Into Bat Diversity and Virus Distribution in China: Implications for Public Health. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bats are key reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, yet comprehensive data on their diversity and viral carriage across China remain limited. This study compiled national‐level data on bat taxonomy, distribution, and associated viruses by integrating information from peer‐reviewed publications (PubMed), the ZOVER database, and cytochrome oxidase I ...

Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

Supporting dryland restoration success with applied ecological forecasting of seeding outcomes
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration is increasingly used to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services. In drylands of the western United States (US), post‐disturbance restoration often involves seeding treatments to promote the recovery of native plant communities. Spatial and temporal variability in environmental conditions influences plant

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Steppe-Forest Succession as a Conservation Problem
Other conditions being suitable, soil moisture supply is the most important factor determining whether forest or steppe develops on a particular area of land. Supply is limited by dryness, climate aridity, seasonal distribution of precipitation, chemical composition of soil and bed-rock, and economic activity.

ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best
