Microplastic addition has no detectable effect on ecosystem metabolism or diel dinitrogen flux in a large in‐lake mesocosm experiment under oligotrophic conditions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem metabolism (e.g., gross primary production [GPP], respiration [R], and net ecosystem production) integrates the activity of aerobic organisms and is an indicator of environmental change. Microplastics (i.e., particles 1–5 mm) are widespread in freshwater ecosystems and are colonized by biofilms and other organisms.

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

First Isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica From a Sea Turtle: A Case Report in Caretta caretta

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
1. First isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic bacterium, in a loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), identifying it as the likely cause of severe colitis, hepatitis, and fatal sepsis. 2. The findings highlight that sea turtles and the marine environment can act as reservoirs for Y. enterocolitica: this poses a “One Health” threat. 3.

Network Connectivity and Local Hydrology Drive DOM Composition in a Nonperennial Stream

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Nonperennial streams are dynamic sites of biogeochemical processing, yet much remains to be learned about how hydrologic connectivity at different spatial and temporal scales impacts the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM). We characterized spatial and temporal patterns of DOM composition in a nonperennial prairie stream network ...

Effects of Wildfire on Soil Hydraulic Properties in the Western Oregon Cascades

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Wildfires can substantially impact the hydrology of forested watersheds, increasing the risk of hydrologic hazards such as flash floods and debris flows. Soil hydraulic properties related to infiltration are a key control in determining the timing and magnitude of these hydrogeomorphic events.
