Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Quantitatively assessing the soil quality (SQ) of saline sodic soil is essential to understand the effects of improving methods and assistance for screening on efficient technologies. The objective of this study was to develop saline‐sodic SQ indices and evaluate the continuation of drip irrigation under film with salt‐enduring plant ...

Gully erosion in India: Geo‐environmental controls and region‐specific characteristics
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.Spatial statistical analyses using a novel spatial database of India‧s gully erosion landforms revealed that India has six major gullying‐affected regions, three of which (EU, DU, and KCH) are dominated by gully systems (gully networks), with badlands (vast intensely gullied landscapes) being predominant in the other three regions (YB, GP, and RU ...
