Agrarianizing Urbanization: Opening the Wastelands of China's Megacities

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In two of China's largest megacities, Guangzhou and Wuhan, apparently ordinary individuals are deciding—independently, without organization, support or legal rights—to appropriate empty lands and transform them into cultivation landscapes in a practice called kāihuāng (‘wasteland opening’).

Multi‐Temporal UAV Surveys and Modelling of Soil Erosion in the Ca l'Isard Catchment, NE Spain

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 5, September–October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates seasonal sediment dynamics in highly active Mediterranean mountain badlands by integrating multi‐temporal Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveys, and landscape evolution modelling (LEM) in the Ca l'Isard catchment (NE Spain).

Fossils as cultural heritage: Scientific, commercial and legislative issues

Geology Today, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 263-272, September/October 2026.
Fossils are among the principal sources for understanding the history of life through ‘Deep Time’ and can inform projections of biotic responses to environmental change. Despite a widespread recognition of the scientific, historical and communication significance of fossils in our culture, their role as part of our cultural heritage is still far from ...

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1087-1098, September 2026.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Polyhedral Reconstruction of Advanced 3D Building Geometries by Data Fusion and Polygon Covering in Urban Areas

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents several enhancements to the universal generation of realistic 3D urban scenes with detailed roof shapes, leveraging key data sources such as OpenStreetMap and Digital Terrain Models. The prior approach relied on core principles of 3D mesh generation, producing models compatible with various 3D rendering systems and game ...
