Nonlinear response and threshold regulation of agroforestry ecosystem quality to morphological characteristics in karst desertification habitats

Ecological Indicators
Agroforestry is a primary ecological restoration measure in karst desertification (KD) areas and provides important ecological services to effectively curb ecosystem degradation and promote recovery.

Terrestrial Regulation of Lacustrine Hg Deposition During Glacial‐Interglacial Cycles

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a toxic trace metal. It is clear that its natural cycle has been highly disturbed by human activities, but there remains much to understand about how it operated before these perturbations. For example, the influences of glacial‐interglacial climate changes on the geochemical cycle of environmental Hg remain poorly understood ...

Time‐Varying Gravity Constraints on Groundwater Recharge and Managed Aquifer Strategies in Southern Taiwan

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding groundwater recharge pathways is essential for designing effective managed aquifer strategies, yet in heterogeneous alluvial aquifers, these pathways are often uncertain and difficult to resolve with sparse well networks. We apply gravity as an independent constraint to quantify groundwater storage dynamics and evaluate recharge ...

Development of a SWAT+ Model to Improve Conservation Practice Efficacy for Protecting Stream Health in Karst Pasturelands

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Placing appropriate conservation practices in critical source areas of pollutants can benefit stream health in karst environments susceptible to agricultural pollution. Watershed models, such as the Soil and Water Assessment Tool+ (SWAT+), can optimize both practice selection and placement across the landscape, but to our knowledge no studies ...

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Nutrient addition, but not vertebrate predator exclusion, shapes arthropod communities and herbivory in a temperate forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 303-321, April 2026.
We experimentally manipulated top‐down (predator exclusion) and bottom‐up (fertilisation) forces in a temperate forest understory to test effects on arthropod densities, body sizes and herbivory. Predator exclusion had no detectable effect on arthropod density, herbivory damage or body size, whereas fertilisation increased herbivory damage and ...

Hidden Waters, Unique Communities: Subterranean Zooplankton Beta Diversity in the Caatinga Drylands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Subterranean waters are important but understudied biodiversity reservoirs, particularly in the semi‐arid Caatinga biome. We quantified the biological uniqueness of zooplankton communities in these groundwater‐dependent systems and investigated how environmental conditions shape beta diversity.
