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 ...

Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...

Individual Variation in Overwintering Strategies of the Great Evening Bat (Ia io) in Subtropical China 中国亚热带地区大足蝠 (Ia io) 越冬策略的个体差异

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 66-72, June 2026.
Tracking with GPS and accelerometers shows that great evening bats in subtropical China use two overwintering strategies: some remain in continuous hibernation, while others switch between torpor and activity as temperatures change. This behavioral flexibility, shaped by climate, underscores the importance of protecting diverse roosting habitats for ...

Evaluating School Location Based on a Territorial Spatial Planning Knowledge Graph

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
The reasonable spatial planning of primary and secondary schools is an important factor in education development. In spatial planning, there are many models for the locations of primary and secondary schools; however, few quantitative evaluation models ...

Regional Patterns and Regulatory Mechanisms of Aquatic Carbon Transfer in China

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Inland waters constitute vital components in the global carbon (C) cycle. Nevertheless, the regional patterns of aquatic carbon transfer across China remain poorly quantified, and their impacts on the terrestrial carbon budget remain unclear.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
