Spatial Investigation of Facet Joint Cartilage Properties Reveals Specific Structure–Function Relationships

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
The inferior facet of the L2 vertebra and the superior facet of the L3 vertebra were harvested from ovine lumbar spines. The spatial biomechanical properties of the facet cartilage surfaces were determined by indentation mapping. Cartilage structure was spatially analyzed on a macroscopic and microscopic level.

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10355-10370, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

Effects of Landscape Pattern on Spatial Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Content in a Typical Lakeside Oasis

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10494-10512, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of the factors influencing the spatial distribution of farmland soil organic carbon (SOC) content contributes to a better understanding of human impacts on soil, which is crucial for improving soil quality and mitigating climate change.

Spatial distribution of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen based on GIS and geostatistics in a small watershed in a hilly area of northern China.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The spatial variability of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (STN) levels is important in both global carbon-nitrogen cycle and climate change research. There has been little research on the spatial distribution of SOC and STN at the watershed

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9308-9322, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Beyond the Cascade Dams: Scale‐Dependent Effects on Zooplankton Stability in River Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cascade dams alter river zooplankton community stability, but how regulating factors act across local and regional spatial scales is poorly understood. Using field sampling and structural equation modeling, we revealed divergent scale‐dependent responses of zooplankton stability to dams—local stability depended on biodiversity, while regional stability

Mapping soil organic carbon in northern France using adaptive zoning regression kriging based on LUCAS dataset

Geocarto International
To improve the accuracy of soil organic carbon (SOC) mapping, an adaptive zoning regression kriging (AZ_RK) framework was proposed, which simultaneously considers spatial heterogeneity and the influence of multiple environmental variables.
