Slab‐Mantle Interaction During Subduction Initiation: Constraints From Trace Element and Sr‐Nd‐Pb Isotope Systematics of Boninite and Other Magmas and Metamorphic Sole in the Oman Ophiolite

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous Oman ophiolite includes a series of volcanic rocks generated during the transition from spreading ridge to protoarc associated with subduction initiation. We analyzed major and trace elements and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions of lavas and dikes of the protoarc stage, especially boninites. We also analyzed amphibolites

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Securing the past for the future – why climate proxy archives should be protected

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 272-277, January 2026.
Glaciers, corals, speleothems, peatlands, trees and other natural proxy archives are essential for global climate change research, but their scarcity and fragility are not equally recognised. Here, we introduce a rapidly disappearing source of palaeoclimatic, environmental and archaeological evidence from some 5000 years ago in the Fenland of eastern ...

Roadless Areas in China: Dynamic Patterns and Conservation Implications

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Expanding public transportation and conserving biodiversity are two major components of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, these objectives often conflict, as habitat loss and fragmentation caused by transportation networks and subsequent development are regarded as significant threats to biodiversity.

Geoecology of limestone‐hosted dryland calcicolous plants, North Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1100-1119, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Dryland calcicolous plants are drought‐tolerant species that are adapted to survive on alkaline low‐nutrient bare substrates derived from limestone around the world. Outcrops of the Otekaike Limestone of North Otago host some rare low‐growing (<10 cm) endemic calcicoles, and conservation reserves have been created at some localities.
