Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2001
Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 3406-3417, 15 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Differences in Phenological Estimation From Multi‐Vegetation Indices Across the Yellow River Basin

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study evaluated the differential performance of PPI, kNDVI, and EVI in monitoring land surface phenology across the Yellow River Basin. The three vegetation indices showed pronounced divergence in capturing autumn phenological metrics, particularly the downturn date (DD) and recession date (RD).

Comprehensive Sampling Across Seasons and Habitats Revealed the Composition and Functional Attributes of Gut Microbiota Enterotypes in Subterranean Rodents

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The gut microbiota of Gansu zokor is classified into two enterotypes, which exhibit distinct seasonal and habitat distributions, microbial diversity, and community compositions dominated by different Bacillota‐to‐Bacteroidota ratios. These enterotypes correlate with host body size and are characterized by unique probiotic and pathogenic biomarkers ...
