Do Forest Fires and Land Degradation Undermine Environmental Sustainability? Evidence From China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest fires (FFs), land degradation (LD), and ineffective land use reduce carbon sinks, disrupt ecosystems, and increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, creating challenges for environmental sustainability (ES). Addressing these challenges through targeted green investments (GIs) and effective land reforms (LRs) aligns with sustainable ...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Pteris madhusoodananii (Pteridaceae), a new fern species from India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Pteris madhusoodananii sp. nov. (Pteridaceae), from the Kolli hills of Eastern Ghats, India, is described. The new taxon is morphologically distinct, characterized by a unique lamina texture and coloration, specific pinna‐pinnule architecture and distinct spore micromorphology.

Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...
