Morphological Changes and Alterations in Erosion–Accretion Patterns in a Semiarid Brazilian River
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.Flow regulation by the Castanhão Dam significantly altered discharge dynamics and reduced sediment transport in the Jaguaribe River. Long‐term analysis (1958–2025) reveals attenuated flood peaks, decreased channel migration and progressive downstream stabilisation, highlighting persistent geomorphic adjustments in a regulated semiarid fluvial system ...

Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.Using a dataset that spans more than 50 years, we found that northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica) – an ectothermic species with temperature‐dependent sex determination – exhibited faster somatic growth rates, altered thermoregulatory behaviors, and a female‐biased sex ratio in recent years which were characterized by warmer, longer growing ...

Thermal Regime Dynamics in a Karst Watershed Influenced by Groundwater and Urbanization
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.This study investigates how groundwater and urban development shape stream temperature patterns in the karstic Spring Creek watershed of central Pennsylvania, USA. Using high‐resolution monitoring, we found that groundwater inputs buffer temperature in some streams, while urbanised sub‐catchments experience extreme thermal surges due to heated runoff ...

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10585-10599, September 2026.ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10784-10794, September 2026.ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10927-10943, September 2026.ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10944-10959, September 2026.ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11186-11206, September 2026.ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...
