Aperiodic Clustered and Periodic Hexagonal Vegetation Spot Arrays Explained by Inhomogeneous Environments and Climate Trends in Arid Ecosystems

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Due to climate change, overgrazing, and deforestation, arid ecosystems are vulnerable to desertification and land degradation. As aridity increases, vegetation cover loses spatial homogeneity and self‐organizes into heterogeneous vegetation patterns, a step before a catastrophic shift to bare soil.

Oxford: W.J. Arkell’s coral city

Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 251-259, November/December 2025.
The city of Oxford, in south‐central England, is partly surrounded by hills on which coral‐rich limestones crop out. The coral developments constitute small reefs and formed during a widely documented Late Jurassic (mid‐Oxfordian) warming episode, near the northern limit of reef growth at that time.
