Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

Fish Farmers' Perceptions and Interest in Aquaculture Insurance as a Resilience Tool Against Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study of Cyclone Freddy in Southern Malawi

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the major threats to global food production systems, with aquaculture being particularly vulnerable. Despite the widespread use of insurance as a coping mechanism for natural disasters, its adoption in aquaculture remains minimal and often undocumented in developing countries.

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

Interdecadal Change in Summer Extreme Rainfall Over North China Around the Early 2000s: Drivers and Mechanisms

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
A discernible interdecadal change in extreme rainfall happened around the early 2000s, transitioning to a wetter period characterized by increased mean values and accelerated trends. The increased extremes were led by a poleward‐shifted East Asian westerly jet (lifting) and a strengthened and extended subtropical high (moisture transport), with little ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
