World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper describes and analyzes recharge practices in Bács‐Kiskun County, Hungary, within what can be categorized as the farmer domain. Such locally embedded aquifer recharge practices remain underexplored in Hungary. Current research and funding largely focus on large‐scale Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) interventions emphasizing intended ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Village tank cascade systems (VTCS) are a long‐established form of water management in Sri Lanka's dry zone. However, their role in groundwater recharge, climate adaptation, and water governance remains insufficiently recognized in policy and planning.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2701-2717, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Our findings highlight the need to jointly consider resistance, recovery and resilience when conceptualizing or implementing forest management strategies. Our network approach identifies the bundles of manageable predictors most consistently associated with forest resistance and resilience, providing a basis for developing management strategies, while ...

Climatic niche position predicts population dynamics in Mediterranean shrubs after drought
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.Climatic conditions closer to the species' climatic niche centroid generally resulted in higher population growth in two Mediterranean shrubs, but demographic responses differed between species and were further influenced by drought‐induced vegetation die‐off.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2038-2052, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Habitat modification and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. Using 38 years of data (1985–2023), we examined their combined influence on a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder's reproductive success and projected the likely magnitude of future effects of ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Our results highlight that prescribed burning in sub‐Mediterranean pine forests does not affect their resistance to PPM in the short term, either positively or negatively, indicating that it can be implemented to reduce wildfire hazard without influencing forest susceptibility to future PPM outbreaks.

World Affairs, Volume 189, Issue 3, Fall 2026.ABSTRACT This study explores how global governance affects environmental security in three cases where environmental scarcity interacted with weak governance to produce conflict: the Darfur water crisis, the role of drought in the Syrian civil war, and the India–Pakistan water conflict over the Indus River.
