Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

A Revised Estimate of Calcium Carbonate Dissolution in Coastal and Shelf Sediments Suggests Large Shelf Exports in the Marine CaCO3 Cycle

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolution plays a key role in the marine carbon and alkalinity cycles and the regulation of atmospheric CO2 levels across geological time scales. Until now, most attention has focused on dissolution in the deep sea, while dissolution in coastal and shelf environments remains poorly constrained.

Investigation of Wave Attenuation by Rhizophora apiculata Mangroves: Coupled Laboratory Experiments and Boussinesq Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mangrove forests provide effective coastal protection by attenuating wave energy, yet quantifying wave‐vegetation interactions remains challenging due to vertically heterogeneous root structures and variable submergence conditions. This study advances phase‐resolving wave–vegetation modeling by integrating realistic, depth‐dependent Rhizophora

Impact of Intertidal Areas on Tidal Propagation in Tidally Dominated Estuaries. Part I: Theoretical Formulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Intertidal zones, such as saltmarshes and mudflats, face significant pressure from climate change and human activities, threatening the sustainable functioning of estuarine ecosystems. Using a one‐dimensional analytical model that resolves the coupled tidal motions in the channel and intertidal areas, we systematically investigated the impact ...

Modeling Sub‐Grid Peatland Vegetation Dynamics in the ORCHIDEE‐PEAT Land Surface Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Peatlands store about one‐third of total global soil carbon. Vegetation composition strongly regulates peatland carbon dynamics. Global warming and climate‐driven ecohydrological changes are expected to alter peatland vegetation composition, necessitating accurate simulation of vegetation dynamics to predict future fate of peatland carbon.

Identifying predictors of tropical cyclone impacts on coastal agriculture to assess coastal wetland buffering signals

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our findings provide novel evidence of wetland buffering signals for storm impacts on agriculture, though only over short spatial ranges. The study highlights the importance of conserving and restoring coastal wetlands near croplands to enhance climate resilience.

Discovering PETases: An Interlink Between Engineering Enzymes and Microbiomes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this review‐type article, we discuss some recent trends in the identification of polyethylene terephthalate‐degrading enzymes (PETases) from nature. We highlight that the discovery of novel PETases can be improved by an interlink between reshaping microbiomes and engineering proteins.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Using Open Data to Investigate Movements of the Streamer‐Tailed Tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Migration is a global phenomenon shaping bird assemblages in response to seasonal climate variations. The Streamer‐tailed Tyrant (Gubernetes yetapa) is a Neotropical bird associated with wetlands. Although considered common across most of its range, its natural history remains poorly understood, and some authors have suggested it may exhibit ...

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

(Re)Pairing With Water: Climate Finance and the Prefigurative Positions of an Ocean Counter‐Politics

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper takes up recent calls to work ‘for and against climate capitalism’ to foreground the possibility of strategic engagements within capitalist structures that could destabilise its long‐standing exploitative dynamics. In doing so, it locates prefigurative positions of an ocean counter‐politics generated through novel blue financial ...
