Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Permafrost regions store vast amounts of soil carbon, and thaw under global warming enhances microbial decomposition and CO2 release, strengthening the permafrost carbon feedback. While this feedback has been extensively studied for continued warming, the processes controlling its magnitude and persistence remain uncertain. Using the Community

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2143-2157, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Last of the JEDI's: “Coloured” Women's Active Representation in Apartheid's Public Education Sector
Gender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1569-1579, July 2026.ABSTRACT The South African apartheid regime racially organized society into race categories—one being “Coloured” to denote people of mixed‐race heritage. The term “Coloured,” even in contemporary South Africa, is a contentious categorization given the racist legacy of apartheid. This article documents the lives of “Coloured” women who struggled against

Leaky Sewers Hydraulically Disconnect from Groundwater: A Proof‐of‐Concept
Groundwater, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 483-497, July/August 2026.In this study, we newly demonstrate that leaky pipes can become hydraulically disconnected from the underlying groundwater—a phenomenon analogous to river–groundwater interactions. Through numerical modeling, we show that, as the groundwater table declines, the leakage flux from the pipe (in absolute terms) initially increases until a critical depth ...

Measurement of Matric Potential and Oospore Germination of Pythium butleri in Sea Sand
, 1984 Tension plate assembly was used for measuring a matric potential in sea sand as a soil sample. Indirect germination of oospores was found in sea sand deficient in nutrition under saturated conditions (0mb), but not when the matric potential reached ...

Policy to practice: Social accountability in medical school admissions—A scoping review
Medical Education, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 751-761, July 2026.Abstract Background Medical schools worldwide are integrating social accountability into admissions to address health inequities, improve workforce distribution and enhance population health outcomes. While foundational frameworks exist, implementation outcomes of specific admissions policies remain underexplored.

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 12, 25 June 2026.Traditional metasurfaces suffer from the drawbacks of pure microwave absorption and low IR emissivity stealth, namely failing to match complex ambient backgrounds with varying IR emissivity and generating excess heat accumulation (enhanced IR thermal radiation).
