Combustion Properties of Timber in Historic Structures: Case Study of the São Pedro de Alcântara Chapel Fire

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 851-865, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Timber plays a fundamental role in the fire performance of historic building components, where ageing and environmental exposure can markedly influence its physical and chemical properties. This study presents an experimental investigation of the fire behaviour of Ocotea sp.

Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo LXXXII: Six New Species of Borneoa

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Six new species of the genus Borneoa (Araceae: Schismatoglottideae) are described from Borneo, increasing the number of accepted species to 30. The new taxa are distinguished by a combination of vegetative and reproductive characters, including leaf morphology, anthomorph structure, spathe and spadix proportions, and floret details.

Sustained Livestock Grazing Enhances Soil Organic Carbon Storage in Sub‐Arctic Grassland

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
We studied long‐term effects of grazing cessation on 34 grassland and heathland sites in Iceland. Grazing cessation was associated with lower SOC, nitrogen and root carbon in the top 10 cm of soil providing evidence for enhanced SOC in grazed land, showing that grazing is a climate change mitigation strategy.

Mowing Modulates Nitrogen Saturation Thresholds of Aboveground Productivity in a Meadow Steppe via Dominant Species and Stoichiometric Regulation

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) reached saturation at approximately 10 g N m−2 year−1, while mowing increased the nitrogen saturation threshold to a higher nitrogen‐addition level. This nonlinear saturation response was mainly driven by increased dominance of the dominant species, with plant stoichiometric thresholds further promoting the ...

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.
