Delineation of Flow Components in a Tropical Region With Carbonate Rocks of Southeastern Mexico

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrochemistry and statistical methods help to delimit the flow components in carbonate rocks with marine intrusion. ABSTRACT This study analyses groundwater flow systems in a tropical karst aquifer of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, where population growth and tourism are concerns due to increasing urbanisation.

Integrating Environmental Perceptions and Value Cognition to Understand Farmers' Livelihood Capacity: Evidence From a Rocky Desertification Area in China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10697-10711, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rocky desertification poses a serious threat to the sustainable development of karst regions. Large‐scale ecological restoration projects for ecologically fragile areas not only improve regional ecological quality but also affect farmers' perception of rocky desertification control (PRDC) and value cognition.

Unraveling the Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Drivers of Green Transition of Farmland Use in Major Grain‐Producing Areas: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10851-10872, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Promoting the green transition of farmland use (GTFU) in major grain‐producing areas is essential for ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development. However, existing studies on GTFU have predominantly relied on static cross‐sectional analyses, with insufficient attention paid to its nonlinear driving mechanisms. To

Climate‐Smart Destination Marketing and Community‐Based Tourism for Socio‐Economic Revitalization in Degraded Landscapes

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11094-11111, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As the global tourism industry confronts the existential imperatives of the Anthropocene, the remediation of degraded landscapes through regenerative economic models has emerged as a critical frontier in sustainability science. This research presents a rigorous empirical examination of the “restoration–revenue” paradigm, investigating the ...

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11112-11125, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Soil Humic Substances and Root Exudates: Key Factors Modulating Cadmium Mobility in Paddy Soils Under Organic Fertilization

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11533-11547, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields poses a high potential risk of environmental exposure. Organic fertilizer application can promote the efflux of rice root exudates, increase soil organic matter, and induce changes in Cd activity in rice fields.

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11565-11582, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Resolving Taxonomic Boundaries in the New Zealand Senecio matatini Complex (Senecioneae, Asteraceae): Evidence from Genotyping by Sequencing of Limestone‐Associated Forms

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Senecio matatini complex in New Zealand has a convoluted taxonomic and nomenclatural history that has not been fully resolved. This is largely due to the incomplete sampling of morphologically diverse but highly threatened limestone populations in the eastern South Island in previous genetic studies.

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1733-1745, September 2026.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Pre‐Service Science Teachers' Judgment Accuracy Across Science Competencies: Evidence From a Digital Classroom Simulation

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 63, Issue 7, Page 626-648, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Science teachers' ability to accurately judge students' knowledge and skills is essential for successful teaching and, thus, highly relevant to science teacher education. Findings from studies focusing on language and mathematics have shown that (pre‐service) teachers' judgment accuracy is not only subject‐specific but may also vary across ...
