Quantifying Deep Groundwater Contributions to Streamflow With Inequality‐Constrained EEMMA From Sparse Isotope Series in Alpine Permafrost Basins

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In alpine permafrost basins, dry‐season runoff largely depends on subpermafrost groundwater (BPG, deep groundwater), yet cryohydrogeological conditions are complicated by time‐varying hydrothermal regimes. Combined with the storage and regulation effects of permafrost on runoff, hydrograph‐based estimates of the fractional contribution of BPG ...

Trait–Climate Relationships Are Comparable for Modern Pollen Assemblages and Extant Vegetation Plots

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Reliable climate simulations require comparison with robust reconstructions of past climates, often based on fossil pollen assemblages. This is particularly critical in drylands, where climate models frequently diverge. Yet, traditional pollen‐based reconstructions often overlook the mechanistic links between climate and plant functioning,

Relationship between tectonism and desertification inferred from provenance and lithofacies changes in the Cenozoic terrestrial sequence of the southwestern Tarim Basin

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
The modern-day Tarim Basin is covered almost entirely by the Taklimakan sand desert and is one of the most arid regions in the world. Unraveling the aridification history of the desert is important for understanding global climate changes during the ...

Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...

Mountain Croplands as Biodiversity Refugia: External Ecotones in the Central Tian‐Shan of Kyrgyzstan Warrant Conservation Priority

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
External ecotones are local hotspots across cultural and natural landscapes. Floral composition reflects external ecotones and regional species pool influence. Patchy mountain croplands are essential for long‐term conservation strategies. ABSTRACT The Mountains of Central Asia constitute one of the world's most vulnerable yet least protected ...

Intracontinental subduction beneath the Pamir Mountains: Constraints from thermokinematic modeling of shortening in the Tajik fold-and-thrust belt

, 2017
A regional, balanced cross section is presented for the thin-skinned Tajik fold-andthrust belt, constrained by new structural and stratigraphic data, industrial well-log data, flexural modeling, and existing geologic and geophysical mapping. A sequential

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2258-2278, August 2026.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,
