Soil nutrients and microbial community resistant to patch‐burn grazing in southwestern North Dakota

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Patch‐burn grazing uses the interactive effects of prescribed fire and herbivory to increase heterogeneity in aboveground ecosystem properties. Understanding how management that targets aboveground heterogeneity translates to soil properties and processes provides an important whole‐system context for practitioners.

Decadal effects of fuel treatments and annual grass invasion on sagebrush ecosystem carbon stocks

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fuel treatments are implemented across large spatial scales in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems of the US Intermountain West to limit wildfire risk and spread, but treatment effects on ecosystem carbon storage remain poorly understood. Fuel treatments can reduce aboveground carbon storage and may also influence belowground carbon storage ...

Cattle and bison grazing decreases monarch egg and larval abundance in the Central United States

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Monarch butterflies have experienced massive population declines and have been proposed to be listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) are the sole host plant for monarch larvae, and milkweed abundance has dramatically declined in the past 25 years due to increased usage of herbicides and the ...

Letting People in: Redefining Collaboration in Wildland–Urban Interface Governance

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 910-926, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Intensifying wildfire regimes and expanding human settlements into wilderness areas have heightened concerns about the wildland–urban interface (WUI) due to the associated increase in fire risk. However, the WUI presents broader social‐ecological challenges that go beyond wildfire risk and remain understudied.

Tracing river dynamics: Multi‐temporal planform evolution and morphological change analyses in a meandering reach using high‐resolution satellite imagery and UAV data

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
High‐resolution satellite imagery and UAV data enabled detailed morphometric parameter calculation, meander classification and multi‐epoch change detection for the Atrak River's meandering channel. Our results reveal rapid, episodic migration and a nearly tenfold surge in bank erosion triggered by the 2019 extreme flood, with persistent instability at ...
