Detecting Forest Water‐Availability and Biomass Patterns Through a Retrospective Study in a Mediterranean Region

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Latent heat (λ $\lambda $ET) fluxes are a major component of the hydrological cycle globally. According to recent models and experimental observations, during droughts, wetter regions respond by increasing λ $\lambda $ET, while drier regions exhibit decreasing trends due to vegetation water stress.

Application of bivariate mapping to assess geodiversity and its geomorphic constraints: A case study in Kuwait

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks
Geodiversity assessment is a critical preliminary step for geoconservation planning and represents the foundation for any rich biodiversity system. The purposes of this research were to identify the geomorphic constraints that influence the geodiversity ...

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Soil Health Within Soil Security

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil health and soil security are integral to the long‐term sustainability of soils. While soil health is a widely recognised concept, it is limited by its lack of standardisation and often its anthropocentric approach, neglecting broader ecological functions.

Delivering seabed geodiversity information through multidisciplinary mapping initiatives: experiences from Norway

GEUS Bulletin, 2022
Geology is a core component of two major multidisciplinary seabed-mapping initiatives in Norway (MAREANO, Marine Base Maps for the Coastal Zone). Helped by Norway’s Nature Diversity Act, which acknowledges geological and landscape diversity alongside ...

Implementing nature restoration law through localized collaboration: insights from England

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue S1, May 2026.
Nature restoration ultimately depends on collective action at a local level. This is recognized internationally in legal, academic, and practitioner discourses. It is also recognized in England's new legal regime for nature restoration, which aims to support collaboration across the public, private, and third sectors in preparing and delivering locally

Achieving Harmonized and Integrated Long‐Term Environmental Observation of Essential Ecosystem Variables ‐ The eLTER Framework of Standard Observations

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The development of harmonized, standardized, and integrated environmental observation systems is a key challenge in Earth system science. Such capability is essential for advancing the interdisciplinary research needed to improve understanding of the Earth system and support global sustainability.

Application of the geodiversity index for the assessment of geodiversity in urban areas: an example of the Belgrade city area, Serbia

Geologia Croatica, 2016
Considering the fact that urbanization is one of the most serious threats to geodiversity, it is important that this issue is taken into account in spatial development plans and georesource management strategies in urban areas.

Rethinking Collinearity in Self‐Organizing Maps: Evidence From Geophysical Data Classification

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This study examines the impact of collinearity on unsupervised machine learning algorithms (UMLAs), specifically Self‐Organizing Maps (SOMs), for detecting lithological boundaries in geophysical data. Using a multi‐scale experimental framework that includes bivariate isotropic clusters, geologically complex Noddy simulations, and real‐world ...
