Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Marine mammals are sentinel species for ocean and human health. Multiple anthropogenic and environmental stressors threaten these organisms, particularly China's spotted seals, which have experienced significant decline over the past half‐century. Our review reveals low genetic diversity in Chinese spotted seal populations.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Growth performance in Quercus robur and Prunus avium is strongly influenced by site conditions, but also by functional traits (Specific Leaf Area, spring leaf‐out date), which show moderate plasticity in response to climate. These traits differ among provenances of the same species, and there is variability in trait values within the provenances.

Branch Orientation: A Potential Indicator of Stem Rehydration and Water Stress
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.Perceptual model illustrating how conifer branch position varies with tree water status. Well‐hydrated trees maintain branches in upward or horizontal positions due to higher water content and turgor pressure. As water stress increases, branches progressively droop downward.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.Terrestrial LiDAR and hydrology calibration were used to derive each tree's stemflow drainage area, normalising rainfall‐stemflow relations by contributing surface. The results show that Fagus grandifolia (beech) maintains a stronger, steeper hydrological response to rainfall (exhibited by a higher normalised yield) than Acer saccharum (maple) and ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.The lack of comprehensive agroclimatic studies in Istria (Croatia), particularly those focusing on trends in olive phenology and the creation of statistical models to predict future phenological phases, has been the key driver behind this research.

Reconsidering climatic predictors for high‐resolution niche models of alpine plants
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.The increasingly acknowledged and consequently also better understood microclimatic variability in terrestrial ecosystems has motivated a call for finer spatial resolution in species distribution modelling, especially in the case of sedentary low‐stature organisms such as plants.

A High‐Precision Crop Water Footprint Quantification Framework Based on Data Assimilation
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Agricultural production is a major consumer of water resources, and the crop water footprint (CWF) serves as a comprehensive metric for assessing agricultural water use efficiency and its associated impacts, thereby providing new insights for agricultural water management.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract In 2024 an anomalous region of low chlorophyll water covering ∼721,000 km2 or 1.7% of North Atlantic surface area dominated the Northeast Atlantic. This feature formed during spring, remained identifiable as a region of low chlorophyll throughout the summer months in temperate and subpolar waters and, due to low opal ballasting potential of ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a vital role in lakes, but its behavior in winter is poorly understood. This study examined the differences in DOM between lake ice and the upper water column across 18 sites in the Laurentian Great Lakes, integrating in situ sampling and remotely sensed ice data to create a mass budget model to estimate ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Ice cover in seasonally frozen lakes plays a crucial role in ecosystem dynamics and human activities, while also serving as a sensitive indicator of climate change. Accurate yet efficient modeling of lake ice timing and thickness is therefore increasingly important.
