Secondary Forest Conversion Into Betel Nut Plantations Reduces Soil Water Retention by Altering Soil Properties

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Soil hydrological properties were significantly altered by the land‐use change. Topsoil water retention was reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations. Stable soil infiltration rates were reduced by the conversion of tropical forests into betel nut plantations.

Tails of Biodiversity: Vertebrate Community Assessment in a Neotropical River Basin via eDNA Metabarcoding

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess vertebrate biodiversity in headwater streams of the Rio Santo Antônio basin, southeastern Brazil, a tributary of the Rio Doce. A total of 119 vertebrate OTUs were identified, with oxidation–reduction potential emerging as the strongest environmental predictor of species richness.

Determinants and Welfare Impacts of Combined Harvester Adoption in Wetland Areas of Bangladesh: The Role of Market Participation

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Wetland areas in Bangladesh face annual crop losses due to flash floods and labor shortages. Combined harvester (CH) adoption remains limited due to high costs, lack of information, and inadequate support. Farm size, income, and land ownership significantly drive CH adoption.
