Radiocarbon Reveals Modern Carbon Exchange With Topsoil Inorganic Carbon in Drylands

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Spatiotemporal variation of net primary productivity and its climate-landscape-human drivers in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The Yellow River Basin (YRB) in Inner Mongolia serves as an important ecological barrier and a major carbon sink within northern China, and is facing a considerable ecological vulnerability and substantial pressures due to climate change, urbanization ...

Tipping Points in Bacterial Richness Amplify Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Northern Peatlands

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using a trans‐Holarctic survey in Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands, we identify a critical bacterial biodiversity threshold. Below this threshold, ecosystem function shifts, increasing enzyme activities by 60%, potentially accelerating carbon turnover. This weakens the peatland carbon sink, emphasizing the need to safeguard diversity.

Sensitivity of Marine Pelagic Fish Catch Potential to Changes in Primary Production in a Global Fisheries Model

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sensitivity of pelagic fish maximum catch potential to primary production variability is primarily governed by sea surface temperature. Using a global fisheries model (DBEM) forced by four primary production projections under identical physical ocean conditions, we quantified how variability in ocean primary production propagates to maximum catch ...

Spatiotemporal response of vegetation productivity to coseismic landslides: a case study of NPP dynamics following the 2014 Ludian earthquake, China

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Coseismic landslides triggered by the 2014 Mw 6.2 Ludian earthquake substantially disturbed vegetation and altered ecosystem productivity in mountainous southwestern China.

Extinct Species Unearth Bergmann's Rule in Canidae

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Interspecific patterns of Bergmann's rule may be concealed by species extinctions within clades. We evaluate whether incorporating extinct species and paleoenvironmental information improves the detection of Bergmann's rule in the family Canidae, and test whether temperature and net primary productivity (NPP) explain interspecific ...

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.
We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Multi‐Scale Pathways to Integrated Protection and Restoration of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes, and Grasslands in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area: A Social‐Ecological Systems Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10546-10565, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

Impacts of urbanization on net primary productivity in the Pearl River Delta, China

open access: yes, 2015
Great changes in land use/land cover from rapid urbanization have occurred in the Pearl River Delta, China. As the primary cause of land development in the urbanization process, urban expansion has mostly occurred on land with higher NPP, significantly ...
