On Utilizing Spatial Gradients to Discover Functional Relationships in Hydrology

Water 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.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Modeling Interactions and Dynamic Saturation Processes in Karst Media

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The simulation of karst aquifers is highly challenging due to complex conduit‐matrix interactions. This study utilizes KarstFOAM, a high‐fidelity, physics‐based numerical model, to address these challenges. KarstFOAM integrates (a) a unified single‐domain Forchheimer–Darcy–Brinkman–Stokes (FDBS) formulation that transitions naturally across ...

A Diagnostic Framework and Data Inventory to Analyze Human Intervention on Streamflow

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Growing recognition of human impacts on streamflow regimes has driven efforts to integrate water‐management modules into hydrological models to improve simulation accuracy. Yet data constraints often force simplifying assumptions, which may introduce unintended biases and obscure true human influences.

Dynamic characterization of reservoir spaces in fault-karst reservoir based on numerical well testing

Youqi dizhi yu caishoulu, 2023
Shunbei fault-karst reservoir in Tarim Basin is a special type of carbonate reservoirs. The reservoir spaces are mainly formed by caves and fractures transformed by faulting. Due to reservoir spaces with complex structures， irregular shapes， and strong randomness of distribution， there are many uncertainties in the traditional delineation technology of

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Characteristics of karst geothermal system in intermountain fault basin: a case study of Taiyuan basin in north China

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionThe Taiyuan Basin of North China, as a typical intermountain fault basin, is located in the middle part of the Fen-Wei graben system-an extensional faulting belt. It is one of the areas where high-quality karst thermal storage is developed to
