Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10035-10052, 30 August 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract The impact of aviation induced contrail cirrus on Earth's radiation budget depends on the optical depth (OD) and the life time of these clouds. Their tendency to enhance global warming may be mitigated by replacing conventional kerosene with fuels that form fewer soot particles, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The resulting reduction

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9202-9221, 15 August 2026.ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Managing the Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Winter Grazing by Livestock
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.This review presents a synthesis of current knowledge about managing the potential impacts of outdoor animal wintering activities and their consequences for a range of environmental outcomes. The scope is confined to field‐based wintering approaches and thus, does not consider issues associated with the winter use of animal shelters or standoff systems.

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Changes in grain planting patterns have been closely linked to substantial increases in crop yields. However, their relationships with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remain unclear, particularly across multiple SDG dimensions. Clarifying these relationships could help inform progress toward food security and the SDGs.

On the Leaky Nature of Fractures in Low‐Permeability Rock
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Hydraulic‐test interpretation in fractured rock commonly assumes impermeable confining matrices, an assumption we show is systematically incorrect, even when the matrices are 7–14 orders of magnitude less permeable than the fracture. Fluid injected into a fracture begins to leak into the surrounding rock matrices within milliseconds to seconds,

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys offer rapid, cost‐effective subsurface imaging, yet converting their electrical resistivity (ER) models into physically meaningful hydraulic property fields for groundwater models remains a challenge. We develop and demonstrate a data‐driven workflow for an unconsolidated sedimentary aquifer system in ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The brittle–ductile transition, typically located near the base of the seismogenic zone, controls strain localization and the evolution of physical properties, with direct implications for fluid transport and fault mechanics. However, quantitative constraints on strain partitioning and porosity evolution across this transition remain limited ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Alpine treeline ecotones display a variety of spatial patterns that are considered indicators of the processes governing treeline dynamics. Our findings suggest that the treeline form at this krummholz island treeline does not reliably reflect current processes governing seedling survival or tree stature, highlighting a potential limitation of ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract During an earthquake a dynamic rupture propagates, causing fractures and permanent damage that modify the mechanical properties of the fault and its surroundings. Reciprocally, the energy dissipated by the mechanical transformation of the fault rock has a direct feedback on the dynamics of the seismic rupture.
