Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

Effects of Wildfire on Soil Hydraulic Properties in the Western Oregon Cascades
Abstract Wildfires can substantially impact the hydrology of forested watersheds, increasing the risk of hydrologic hazards such as flash floods and debris flows. Soil hydraulic properties related to infiltration are a key control in determining the timing and magnitude of these hydrogeomorphic events.

Abstract Urban regions situated along major river systems are increasingly facing flood risks, driven by the combined effects of rapid urbanization and intensifying climate change. The Quad Cities region, comprising Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Illinois, is vulnerable to flood hazards caused by extreme ...

Midwives' Perception Towards Male Partners' Involvement in Labour Companionship: A Qualitative Study
ABSTRACT Background Labour companionship is a recommendation by WHO that health authorities enable women to choose a companion during labour to ensure a safe and dignified labour experience for the birthing woman. However, most healthcare facilities in low‐ and middle‐income countries do not necessarily consider this maternal need, which hampers a ...

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?
ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.

Building Treatment and Its Effects on City‐Scale Urban Flood Modeling
ABSTRACT Physics‐based flood hydrodynamic models are widely used for predicting inundation in urban basins with complex building layouts. While the treatment of urban buildings in these models has been extensively discussed, over‐assumptions can introduce inaccuracies, uncertainties, and excessive computational effort, particularly under data‐scarce ...

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

Abstract In the investigation of the relationship between measured soil suction and the rate of saturation change, an increase in response time prevents the tensiometer from instantaneously reacting to changes in suction. Solving this problem requires a tensiometer response model, which is based on the measured data from partial drainage and adsorption
