Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Globally, livestock grazing is a key driver of vegetation degradation in arid rangelands. This degradation tends to be most severe near artificial water points which are focal points for livestock activity. Conservation reserves have been established on former rangelands; however, the timeframes for vegetation recovery following ...

Cutting, herbicide, and fire: a case study for managing woody plants in tallgrass prairies
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The removal of clonal and resprouting woody plants expanding into mesic grasslands like tallgrass prairies can be expensive based on the types of treatments applied and subsequent retreatments. Objective We aimed to determine how combined herbicide application, mechanical treatments, and annual prescribed fire influenced grassland

Analysis of Models to Estimate Morbidity Rates of Respiratory Diseases Through Deep Learning
Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Respiratory diseases remain a challenge in Brazil due to socioeconomic inequalities and environmental risks that intensify population vulnerability. This study compared XGBoost with a deep learning model using stacked Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), trained with morbidity data from respiratory diseases and exogenous variables such as per capita ...

Spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping for crop water stress assessment: A review
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Water stress is a major limiting factor for crop productivity worldwide, and its impacts are intensifying due to climate variability and increasing water scarcity. This review focuses on the spatial and temporal scales in plant phenotyping as a critical approach to improving crop water‐stress assessment and supporting precision water ...

A Path to Better Science Through Co‐Creation and Open Infrastructure
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Proprietary development solutions are often perceived as being delivered more quickly and easily than open methods, fueling the misconception that they inherently produce better overall outcomes. However, we argue that open development practices can lead to both efficient and maximally impactful outcomes.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,
