Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract The Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile, in the forearc of the Andean subduction zone, provides an ideal site to evaluate exhumation above the oldest active subduction under extreme aridity. This range lies parallel to a sediment‐starved trench, has experienced hyperaridity since the Miocene, and is transected by the ∼1,000‐km‐long Atacama ...

Hair regenerative activities of flavonoid-rich extract of Equisetum hyemale L. (Equisetaceae) in chemically-induced alopecia in Sprague Dawley rats [PDF]
Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmacognosy Research, 2019 Context: The prevalence of alopecia around the world is high and awareness continuously increased due to social stigma. There are limited commercially-available medications for the management of different forms of baldness, most of which are ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants?
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3096-3110, September 2026.Proposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

When horsetails became giants [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012 Horsetails arose in the Late Devonian, evolved a greater diversity and forming fast growing bamboo-like thickets in the Carboniferous lowland swamp forest ecosystems. However, the diversity of this group drastically declined during the Permian while the climate became more dynamic and arid.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The timing, stratigraphic development, and mechanisms of late Paleogene loess deposition remain poorly understood, yet they are critical to understanding how tectonics, fluvial reworking, and eolian transport interacted during a key interval of western North American landscape evolution.
