GEOCHEMICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH AIMED AT CHARACTERIZING THE HYDRO-GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES OF A KARST FORMATION

, 2009
Geochemical and geophysical research was effected in an area between the Madonia mountain range and the coast around the Rock of Cefalù, at the base of which there are a number of large-sized springs.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conducted in a subtropical forest in southwestern China, this study evaluates how various dimensions of plant biodiversity regulate aboveground biomass (AGB) across forest strata under consistent edaphic and topographic conditions, addressing the insufficiently elucidated question of which biodiversity dimension most prominently impacts AGB ...

Quantification of ground surface movements on sorted circles using time‐lapse structure‐from‐motion photogrammetry in a karst cave, Slovenia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
We present ground surface movements on sorted circles in a karst cave using time‐lapse photogrammetry with accuracies of up to ±2 mm. Data with 3‐hourly resolution revealed average vertical movements of up to 50 mm and horizontal movements of up to 15 mm during individual freeze–thaw cycles.

Karst Vadose Zone Hydrology Explored Through Cave Drip Water Dynamics: The Roles of Soil, Epikarst and Climate

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cave drip rate monitoring in Nova Grgosova Cave reveals three types of drip sites: (1) predominantly constant, (2) seasonally varying and (3) mostly constant with occasional sharp increases. The observational data coupled with one‐dimensional water‐balance model demonstrates that evapotranspiration and soil–epikarst storage, rather than precipitation ...
