Environmental Controls on the Cycling of Fe and Mn in Patagonian Fjord Systems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Fjord sediments are important reservoirs and conduits of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). Both elements are critical to life, serving as key reactants in metabolic pathways, and play an important role in the reactivity and burial of organic carbon.

Geospatial and Community Integrated Assessment of Land Use Transitions and Ecosystem Service Trade‐Offs on Sandwip Island, Bangladesh

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Changes in land use land cover (LULC) strongly influence ecosystem service values (ESVs), particularly on fragile coastal Islands where human activities and natural processes interact intensively. This study examines spatiotemporal LULC dynamics and associated ESV changes on Sandwip Island, Bangladesh, by integrating geospatial analysis with community ...
