The impact of clearing for agriculture on the surface energy budget [PDF]

, 1996
A simple model is developed to analyse the surface energy balance from satellite observations for south-western Australia. This illustrates that the replacement of native vegitation with agriculture based on a winter growing annual species has led to a ...

Circumpolar Effects of a Velocity‐Restoring Scheme for Antarctic Fast Ice on Shelf Waters and Ice Shelf Melt Simulated by NEMO4‐SI3

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Dense water formation in the Southern Ocean plays a key role in the global ocean overturning circulation, affecting the distribution of heat, carbon, oxygen, and nutrients. Fast ice stays immobile while blocking sea ice flow, favoring the opening of coastal polynyas, where intense air‐sea exchanges drive sea ice production and ocean ...

Megagrazer loss drives complex landscape-scale biophysical cascades

Environmental Research Letters
Wild animals can modulate ecosystem-climate feedbacks, e.g. through impacts on vegetation and associated carbon dynamics. However, vegetation cover and composition also affect land surface albedo, which is an important component of the global energy ...

Seasonal to Decadal Patterns in Sea Ice and Turbidity at Arctic River Mouths

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Rapid warming of the Arctic is accelerating riverine delivery of freshwater, heat, and sediment to the Arctic Ocean. River mouth zones are especially vulnerable to this change, as these dynamic land–ocean interfaces are hotspots of primary productivity.

Ancient Impact Melt Near the Lunar South Pole: Distribution, Provenance, and Sampling Strategy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Due to a lack of pre‐Nectarian samples associated with specific impacts in the Apollo suite, the early Solar System's impact chronology is poorly constrained. We investigate where Artemis and other south polar lunar missions could sample impactites to determine the ages of pre‐Nectarian craters, focusing on the ancient craters Haworth ...

Assessing JULES Across Bioclimatic Domains Through a Pan‐African Flux Tower Evaluation: Insights Into Controls on Gross Primary Productivity, Ecosystem Respiration, and Evapotranspiration Biases

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Land surface models are fundamental for simulating coupled carbon, water and energy exchanges in Earth system models, yet their performance remains poorly constrained across Africa's diverse hydroclimatic gradients. We evaluate the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) using eddy covariance observations from 16 flux towers spanning major

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3063-3072, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...

The local cooling potential of land restoration in Africa

Communications Earth & Environment
Land restoration is becoming increasingly popular as a climate change mitigation and adaptation measure. It is suggested that resulting vegetation changes can impact the local surface temperature through biophysical processes such as albedo warming and ...

From Reactive Remediation to Predictive Prevention: A Systems Synthesis of Global Soil Salinization and Sodicity

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Salty soils are spreading across the world's farmland, often building up unnoticed for years before crop yields fall sharply and repair becomes slow and costly. Our review shows that this damage comes from linked problems in soil chemistry, water management, and policy, so fixing any one of them alone rarely works.

Wintertime land surface albedo of forested environments [PDF]

Forest canopies are complex 3-D structures at the interface between the atmosphere and the land surface which greatly affect radiative processes, especially across seasonally snow-covered domains. The increase in process complexity associated with these areas continues to be a source of uncertainty in land surface modelling.
