The New Titan Planetary Climate Model. II. Titan’s Haze and Cloud Cycles

The Planetary Science Journal
Observations of Titan have long revealed the presence of seasonal cycles, including haze, clouds, and gases. The lack of information on the different processes that govern these cycles prevents us from understanding all the phenomena taking place in ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Substellar Landmass Fraction and Atmospheric Circulation Regimes of Ultrashort-period Rocky Planets around White Dwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal
White-dwarf (WD) systems are attractive candidates for planet detection and follow-up transmission spectroscopy campaigns. However, the climate and habitability of terrestrial planets around WDs still remain largely elusive, and a central question lies ...

Divergent Responses of Bacterial Communities to Permafrost Degradation and Their Associations With Carbon Across Vertical Profiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial α‐diversity decreases, but stochasticity and community stability increase across the 15 m‐depth vertical profiles and along the degraded gradient within the active layer. The abundance and interaction of core taxa mainly control community stability in the active and permafrost layers, respectively.

Impacts of Atmospheric Carbon Species and Stellar Type on Climates of Terrestrial Planets

The Planetary Science Journal
The climates of terrestrial planets are largely determined by the composition of their atmospheres and the spectral types of their host stars. Previous studies suggest that a wide range of carbon species abundances (CO _2 , CO, and CH _4 ) can result ...

The Final Ascent: from refuges to ruins in a warming world [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes
Mountains exemplify how climate change transforms long-standing refuges into zones of loss. As species track suitable climates upslope, they confront absolute ecological limits.

An Increasing Misalignment Between Crop Distribution and Environmental Resources Under Climate Change in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change reshapes the spatial alignment between crop production and environmental resources. Using multi‐source data and a crop model, integrated climatic, water, and soil endowments for maize and wheat are quantified and compared with harvest distributions.

The New Titan Planetary Climate Model. I. Seasonal Variations of the Thermal Structure and Circulation in the Stratosphere

The Planetary Science Journal
Observations of Titan through Cassini’s mission allowed Saturn’s moon’s stratospheric thermal structure and composition to be mapped over half a Titan year.

“Active Planetary Cover” Concept and Long-Term Evolution of Planetary Climate [PDF]

, 2003
At the beginning of XIX. century J.-B. Lamarque had introduced the term “biosphere”. In accordance with his definition the biosphere is a “scope of life” and it is an external cover for the Earth. In 1875 E. Suss, who also distinguished the biosphere as one of the Earth covers, introduced the same term in geology. But V.

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.
