Climatic and Hydrological Changes Drive Contemporary Fire Regime Transitions in the World's Largest Wetland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Long‐term fire data (1985–2024) and integrated modeling reveal a climate and hydrology‐driven transition toward larger fires, increased burned area, and a longer fire season, indicating the emergence of a new fire regime in the Pantanal. ABSTRACT Tropical wetlands have historically been resilient to fire, but ongoing climate and hydrological changes ...

Radiocarbon Reveals Modern Carbon Exchange With Topsoil Inorganic Carbon in Drylands

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Radiocarbon measurements across drylands reveal that topsoil inorganic carbon carries a measurable modern carbon signature linked to soil pH and organic carbon pools. This modern imprint weakens with increasing aridity and soil depth, indicating reduced exchange with contemporary carbon sources under drier conditions and in deeper soils.

Trait–Climate Relationships Are Comparable for Modern Pollen Assemblages and Extant Vegetation Plots

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Reliable climate simulations require comparison with robust reconstructions of past climates, often based on fossil pollen assemblages. This is particularly critical in drylands, where climate models frequently diverge. Yet, traditional pollen‐based reconstructions often overlook the mechanistic links between climate and plant functioning,

Formative Experiences and Welfare State Expectations: A Cohort Analysis of Social Spending Preferences in Switzerland

Social Policy &Administration, Volume 60, Issue 5, Page 848-863, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Socioeconomic developments in high‐income countries since the postwar era have induced fundamental changes in the predominant social risks to which people are exposed. This article seeks to determine whether this evolution is accompanied by changing expectations of the welfare state.

MdATG5a‐mediated autophagy improves apple performance under low light

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Apples are sun‐loving plants, and excessive canopy closure in orchards leads to poor ventilation and reduced light penetration, ultimately limiting yield and fruit quality. Autophagy is a conserved mechanism for recycling cellular materials and energy in eukaryotes and is known to participate in multiple stress responses.
