Spatial Coupling and Resilience Differentiation Characteristics of Landscapes in Populated Karstic Areas in Response to Landslide Disaster Risk: An Empirical Study from a Typical Karst Province in China

open access: yesLand
Landslides pose a significant threat to the safety and stability of settlements in karst regions worldwide. The long-standing tight balance state of settlement funding and infrastructure makes it difficult to allocate disaster prevention resources ...

Why do people go to nature? Enhancing the recognition and scope of cultural ecosystem services in landscape

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 650-665, March 2026.
Abstract The cultural ecosystem services (CES) framework allows to systematically analyse non‐material human–nature relationships and can help to increase the recognition and scope of various intangible place‐based values. Although the amount of scientific literature addressing CES has increased over the last few decades, studies largely focus only on ...

Evaluation of Habitat Quality in Karst Mountainous Areas of Guanling County Based on InVEST and MGWR Models

open access: yesLand
As a core karst region in Southwest China, Guanling County plays a crucial role in regional ecological governance. This study integrates the InVEST model, landscape pattern index analysis, and the MGWR spatial model to systematically explore the dynamic ...

Groundwater Temperature Processes and Patterns: Implications for Stream Thermal Regimes

open access: yesWIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Shallow groundwater temperatures are controlled by ground surface temperatures and are influenced by climate change and land cover changes. Deeper groundwater temperature is constant year‐round, making it cooler (warmer) in the summer (winter) than surface water, and exhibits a lagged response to surface warming.

Route selection for scenic byways in karst areas based on the minimum cumulative resistance model: A case study of the Nanpan–Beipan River Basin, China

open access: yesEcological Indicators
A study of scenic byways, a new form of integrated tourism and transport developing in karst areas, is of great significance for promoting the rational use of landscape resources and sustainable development in karst areas. The rocky karst desertification

On Utilizing Spatial Gradients to Discover Functional Relationships in Hydrology

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The search for functional relationships is at the heart of any science, but has proven notoriously difficult in hydrology. Here, we define functional relationships as relationships between two or more variables that characterize the functions of hydrological systems.

Effects of habitat quality and fine‐scale spatial structure on epiphytic lichen and bryophyte communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Host‐tree identity, particularly bark physico‐chemical traits, emerged as the dominant driver of epiphytic lichen and bryophyte community composition in this closed‐canopy temperate forest system, while microclimate plays a subordinate role. Spatial structure and proximity contributed additional effects for both groups, but for lichens, habitat ...

Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 441-451, March 2026.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

Overview on karst geology of Vietnam

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica
Karst is widely distributed in Vietnam, covering almost 60,000 km2, approximately 20% of the total area of Vietnam. Most karst rocks crop out in North and Central Vietnam. Karst developed with peak-clusters, peak-forests, caves, etc.
