Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 83-87, June 2026.
ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

Vegetation and Topographic Controls on Post‐Fire Snowpack: Evidence From the 2021 Caldor Fire

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The increase in wildland fires in recent decades due to long‐term fire suppression policies and increasingly favourable climate factors has also increased the elevation range of wildland fires. In the mountainous western United States, this has led to an increasing influence of fire on landscape‐level vegetation patterns in snow‐dominated ...

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...

Whole System Ecohydrological Change Following Natural Flood Management and a Five‐Year Beaver Reintroduction Trial

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

An Evaluation of New Snow Interception and Ablation Parameterisations in Continental, Subarctic and Maritime Needleleaf Forests

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
A new mass and energy balance for intercepted snow more accurately represented observations of subcanopy snow water equivalent and canopy intercepted snow load compared to an existing approach. The new CanSnow model also revealed how intercepted snowfall is partitioned between throughfall, sublimation, drip and unloading to the forest floor at two ...

Modelling Storage‐Discharge Relationships in an Alpine Basin in the Canadian Rockies

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
CRHM was used to model storage‐discharge relationships for Fortress Mountain Research Basin, an alpine basin in the Canadian Rockies. The model showed reasonable predictions of snow accumulation, snowmelt, liquid soil moisture, and streamflow, and nonlinear and hysteretic storage‐discharge relationships for this alpine basin.
