Refined Modeling of Arctic Circumpolar Building Stock Increases Estimated Mid‐Century Permafrost Degradation Damages

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Near‐surface permafrost degradation has the potential to damage infrastructure needed to sustain Arctic communities, but risk assessments remain highly uncertain due to a limited representation of the Arctic circumpolar building stock. With deep learning building footprint detection and building occupancy classification models, we expand the ...

Estimating Distribution Range Shifts of the Japanese Alpine Butterfly Colias palaeno Induced by Historical Climate Fluctuations and the Crucial Role of Its Host Plant

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
In this study, we used ecological niche models to quantify historical changes in the estimated distribution ranges of the alpine butterfly Colias palaeno and its host plant Vaccinium uliginosum in Japan. The results showed that temperature and host plant occurrence strongly influence the estimated distribution of C. palaeno.

Comparison of Soil Mineralogy From EMIT Imaging Spectroscopy and Ground‐Based Measurements in the Deserts of Southern California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The highly variable spatial composition of desert soils remains a major source of uncertainty in estimates of dust radiative forcing. Existing soil mineralogy data sets used in climate models are limited by sparse ground observations and coarse spatial resolution.

Concentrations of cadmium and arsenic species in rice from production‐scale fields in Arkansas under variable water management

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) accumulates arsenic when grown under flooded conditions; therefore, alternative water management strategies have shown promise in decreasing grain arsenic. We analyzed polished white rice grain from 103 field‐years of production for arsenic and cadmium.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Distribution, Habitat Use and Conservation of the Bornean Ferret Badger

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti) is an Endangered, range‐restricted carnivore whose ecology and distribution remain poorly known. Using multi‐site camera‐trap surveys across Sabah's western mountain massif combined with habitat suitability and connectivity modelling, we documented 407 detections from 60 stations, including the first ...

Digital landform mapping and soil-landform relationships in the North Cascades National Park, Washington

open access: yes, 2009
Digital soil mapping meets current demands for soils data and increases the opportunity for scientifically based management of public resources. In this thesis I employed geospatial data and geographic information systems to characterize soils, landforms

Climate Change and Hydropower Impacts on Habitat Suitability of Endangered Schizothoracinae Fishes in the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
FA and Bio11 are key factors impacting Schizothorax species’ habitats. The Saga, Angren, and Miling counties were suitable areas considering hydropower. Schizothorax species will increase upriver and lose lower habitats in the future. Schizothorax species were exhibited an upstream movement trend in the future.
