Topography, management, and extreme precipitation influence greenhouse gas emissions in a cool, humid corn silage system

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Agricultural soils are sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) and, under prolonged saturation, methane (CH4)—two potent greenhouse gases (GHGs). Soil management, field topography, and climate all influence GHG emissions, yet their interactions are not well understood.

No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.
