Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2855-2879, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Hydroclimatic Changes in the Marsyangdi River Basin, Central Himalaya Under CMIP6 Scenarios: Implications for the Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem Nexus

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Under CMIP6 scenarios in the Marsyangdi River Basin, SWAT+ simulations show that warming and shifting precipitation diminish snowfall and cryospheric buffering, deepening pre‐monsoon flow deficits. This seasonal mismatch drives critical Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem trade‐offs: dry‐season run‐of‐river hydropower generation drop, and increase in winter ...
