Mapping Skid Trails and Evaluating Soil Disturbance From UAV‐Based LiDAR Surveys in Mediterranean Forests

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 1082-1092, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil disturbance resulting from forest harvesting activities can have significant and lasting environmental consequences, particularly in sensitive ecosystems such as Mediterranean forests. Skid trails, the routes used by machinery to extract timber, are among the most critical areas of impact, and their detection is critical for assessing ...

Enabling In‐House Fabrication of Lateral Flow Assays With a Low‐Cost DIY Antibody Dispenser

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study details the design of a low‐cost DIY antibody dispenser to facilitate the construction of lateral flow assays (LFAs). Design files and a list of materials are provided along with operating instructions and troubleshooting. The analytical performance of LFAs made with the DIY dispenser is verified and benchmarked with an LFA made with a ...

Understanding Compound Pluvial–Fluvial Flood Hazards Under Climate Change: A Case Study of the Lower Tone River Basin, Japan

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
A hindcast of Typhoon Hagibis inundation in the Lower Tone River Basin demonstrates reasonable consistency with observations. Scenario‐based simulations were performed to quantify flood hazards in this coastal watershed until the end of the twenty‐first century. Agricultural lands, most of which were reclaimed from lakebeds, face a greater flood hazard

Investigating Query by Committee and Inverse‐Distance Based Exploration for Active Learning as Learning Strategies: An Application in Wood Dating

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 66-79, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a non‐destructive method, is capable of measuring changes in the major wood components cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin during degradation. Previous research evaluated the application of supervised machine learning based on molecular decay over specific preservation conditions, achieving a ...

The De Martonne aridity index in Calabria (Southern Italy)

Journal of Maps, 2019
In this paper, the annual rainfall and temperature values, measured in the period 1951-2016 in a region of southern Italy (Calabria), have been spatially interpolated using deterministic and geostatistical techniques in an R environment.

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.

The Effects of Planting Structure on Groundwater Depletion and Optimization Strategies in the North China Plain

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Planting structure drive agricultural water use and is critical to groundwater depletion in the North China Plain (NCP). However, the effects of planting structure changes on groundwater depletion are rarely quantified, and severely depleted areas are often overlooked in previous planting structure optimization studies.
