Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

Transforming Human–Manatee Relations: Socio‐Ecological Drivers of Conflict and Coexistence in Lake Ossa, Cameroon

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems worldwide face increasing human–wildlife conflicts as fishing activities overlap with critical habitats for vulnerable species. Human–wildlife interactions in artisanal fisheries exemplify socio‐ecological systems that necessitate adaptive management approaches, integrating ecological and social dimensions.

Combining camera‐trap surveys and hunter interviews to determine the status of mammals in protected rainforests and rubber plantations of Menglun, Xishuangbanna, SW China

open access: yes, 2020
Hunting and deforestation are the two biggest threats to vertebrates in Southeast Asia. In the last 50 years, monoculture rubber plantations replaced large areas of tropical rainforests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China.

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger‐Cats (Leopardus pardinoides) and Domestic Dogs (Canis familiaris) in an Isolated Protected Area

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We studied the spatial and temporal relationships between clouded tiger‐cats and dogs in an isolated protected area of Colombia. Dogs influenced the activity patterns of clouded tiger‐cats but not their habitat use. Conservation actions should be directed to mitigate potential contact between both species.

A Multi‐Factor Habitat Suitability Model for Asian Elephants in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Effects of Vegetation and Climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assessed the combined effects of climate change and vegetation factors on the habitat suitability of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in the Greater Mekong Subregion. By integrating MaxEnt modeling with structural equation modeling, we identified plant distribution as a key determinant of elephant habitat selection under future climate ...

Renewable Energy Use, Agricultural Productivity, and Economic Expansion Impact on Environmental Sustainability in India

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 2983-2995, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research aims to explore the effects of agricultural productivity and the use of renewable energy sources on India's CO2 emissions while taking economic expansion into concern based on data during 1985–2022. This study applies the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique, dynamic‐ordinary least square (DOLS), fully‐modified ...

Fine‐Scale Spatial Variation of Evapotranspiration Across Tropical Land‐Cover Mosaics Revealed by UAV Thermography

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
We study evapotranspiration (ET), a key flux in the hydrological cycle, across heterogeneous tropical land‐cover mosaics in lowland Sumatra featuring secondary forest patches, oil palm plantations, and shrubland. We apply high‐resolution UAV thermography and an energy‐balance model to derive ET across three mosaic landscapes (Areas 1–3).

Effects of Rubber Plantation Restoration in National Parks on Plant Diversity and Soil Chemical Properties

open access: yesDiversity
Plantations left for natural succession play a significant role in Tropical Rainforest National Parks. Studying the succession and restoration of plantations is crucial for achieving a park’s authenticity and integrity, as well as for maximizing its ...
