Integrating DynamiCROP model and risk assessment for pesticide residues in spinach: Implications for food safety

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7154-7163, July 2026.
This study adapted and validated the dynamiCROP model for spinach, a leafy vegetable not previously included in its standard framework. The findings confirm that model‐predicted pesticide concentrations, when integrated into hazard quotient (HQ) calculations, can effectively support dietary risk assessment.

Assimilation of Satellite‐Based Forest Biomass, Productivity and Leaf Area Index in a Global Land Model Incorporating Parameter Spatial Variations and Age Effects

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Disturbances profoundly impact forest capacity for sequestering and storing carbon, and the recovery rates after disturbances vary geographically. Many terrestrial carbon models inadequately simulate the effects of forest disturbances on biomass due to their reliance on equilibrium assumptions, the absence of historical disturbance data, as ...

Overcoming environmental constraints to high‐yielding eastern cottonwood productivity in the southeastern United States

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
The rising demand for biomass highlights Populus deltoides as a productive woody species. A 6‐year study in Sumter County, SC, assessed the effects of irrigation, fertilization, and clonal variation on growth and productivity. Eight clones were studied under two irrigation levels (33 and 1500 kPa) and nutrient rates (high: up to 182 kg N ha−1; low: 50%

Factors That Influence the Implementation of Animal‐Assisted Intervention for People With Dementia in Community Care Settings: A Qualitative Study

Journal of Clinical Nursing, Volume 35, Issue 7, Page 3211-3225, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To explore the factors that influence the implementation of animal‐assisted intervention (AAI) for people with dementia in community care settings in Ireland. Design Descriptive qualitative study. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were carried out with 13 people with dementia, 11 care partners and 18 health and social care practitioners ...

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4471-4483, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

Understanding Drought‐Induced Soil Moisture Feedback on Atmospheric Circulation: Observations and Simulation Experiments of the 2020 Western U.S. Drought

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract This study examines the large‐scale atmospheric response to reduced evapotranspiration during droughts in the Western U.S., using an observation‐based regression method and numerical experiments with a global climate model. We found that Western U.S.

Earlier Flash Drought Onset Driven by Spring Vegetation Greening and Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The onset timing of the flash drought season (TO) critically determines whether these rapid‐intensifying events coincide with sensitive stages of vegetation growth, as droughts occurring early in the growing season can severely undermine ecosystem productivity. However, how TO has evolved under climate change remains unclear.

Enhanced CO2 Response and Aging‐Related Dynamics Drive a Greater Leaf Area Index Increase in China's Planted Forests in Comparison to Natural Forests

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract China's forests have experienced a notable increase in leaf area, driven by planted forest expansion and natural forest conservation. However, how planted and natural forests respond differently to environmental changes remains unclear. Using leaf area index (LAI) data, propensity score matching (PSM), and machine learning, we compared these ...

Root Dynamics Mitigate Warm and Dry Biases Over the Central United States

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The central United States frequently exhibits warm and dry biases in simulations of summertime conditions, a persistent feature that remains unresolved. While previous studies linked these biases to misrepresented surface energy exchanges, the role of belowground processes remains poorly understood.
