Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries
CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...

On Unease and Discomfort About the Anthropocene
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The proposal for a formal inclusion of the Anthropocene as a new unit of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) was rejected in part on the grounds that it would sit uncomfortably in the GTS. The durations of all GTS units tend to become shorter toward the present. The proposed Anthropocene epoch and Crawfordian age fit that trend comfortably.

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Left High and Dry: Deep Soil Water Depletion and Ecohydrological Resilience on China's Loess Plateau
WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Deep‐rooted vegetation on China's Loess Plateau taps decades‐old “legacy” water stored in the deep vadose zone. The schematic illustrates how rooting depth controls access to shallow versus deep soil moisture, the role of preferential flow in rare deep‐recharge events, and the progressive depletion of deep soil water as afforested stands age. The inset
