Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Evaluating the Consistency of Radiometric Cross-Calibrated TOA Radiance Products Between Landsat-8 OLI and Landsat-9 OLI2

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
As China’s space technology rapidly progresses, the frequency of remote sensing satellite launches has significantly increased, elevating the demand for data consistency in integrated multiple sensors’ applications. Thus, the radiometric consistency of multiple sensors should be verified.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Legacy effects of livestock grazing on vegetation of an arid landscape exist more than 30 years after livestock were excluded

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 ...

Investigation and Validation of Split-Window Algorithms for Estimating Land Surface Temperature from Landsat 9 TIRS-2 Data

Remote Sensing
Land surface temperature (LST) is important in a variety of applications, such as urban thermal environment monitoring and water resource management. In this paper, eleven candidate split-window (SW) algorithms were adapted to Thermal Infrared Sensor-2 ...

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.

A Harmonized Landsat–Sentinel‐2 Burned‐Area Product for the Pantanal (2014–2024), Based on Multitemporal Composites

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
This work presents AQM‐HLS, a harmonized burned‐area dataset for the Pantanal covering 2014–2024. Landsat‐8/9 and Sentinel‐2 imagery were integrated into multitemporal NBR composites and classified using Random Forest. The dataset captures fire‐scar dynamics, delivering accurate 30‐m burned‐area maps suitable for long‐term monitoring and environmental ...

Optimizing Wind Power Plant Locations: A GIS‐Based Approach With Interval Type‐2 Fuzzy Risk Deviation Performance Index

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated GIS and multicriteria decision making (MCDM) approach supported by the Interval Type‐2 Fuzzy Risk Deviation Performance Index (IT2F‐RDPI) method to assess the wind energy potential in Diyarbakır Province. Fifteen criteria, including wind speed, slope, land use, elevation, soil structure, and proximity to ...
