Sharing the light, impact of solar parks on plant productivity, soil microbes and soil organic matter

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 1000-1013, May 2026.
Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 965-982, May 2026.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Network Connectivity and Local Hydrology Drive DOM Composition in a Nonperennial Stream

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Nonperennial streams are dynamic sites of biogeochemical processing, yet much remains to be learned about how hydrologic connectivity at different spatial and temporal scales impacts the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM). We characterized spatial and temporal patterns of DOM composition in a nonperennial prairie stream network ...

Using Environmental Tracers to Reduce Uncertainty in Natural Flood Management Modeling

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural flood management (NFM) is a nature‐based solution that has grown in importance within flood risk policy and management over the last two decades. There is limited evidence on nature‐based solutions' effectiveness, and no accepted best practice on forecasting their performance. To explore NFM effectiveness, we built a hydrological model
