Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Leveraging Roadless Areas to Support Strict Protection in the EU
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Strictly protected areas exhibit lower levels of disturbance to habitats and species and are central to biodiversity conservation. Yet only 4% of the EU's land is currently placed under strict protection, far below the 10% target set by the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. This study examines the potential of roadless areas to contribute

Tests and Analyses to Study Monotonic and Cyclic Fracture Behavior of C‐Mn Steel
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 2185-2201, June 2026.ABSTRACT The present study is aimed at experiments/analyses on monotonic and cyclic fracture behavior of C‐Mn steel at temperatures (T) varying from 28°C to 300°C. The fracture tests have been performed on standard compact tension specimens under different crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) rates and load ratios (R: 0, −0.5, and −1) in a dynamic ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Rewetting drained boreal peatland forests is increasingly promoted as a climate mitigation strategy, yet its effects on carbon (C) and greenhouse gas (GHG) balances remain uncertain. This study quantified CO2 and CH4 fluxes over 2 years before and after rewetting in a low‐productive peatland forest, with and without tree harvest.

Global Drivers of Phytoplankton Phenology Trends
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Observations and a global biogeochemical model were used to examine recent shifts in phytoplankton phenology at the global scale. Sea surface temperature trends emerge as the strongest predictor of these changes, relative to the other drivers considered, and are associated with earlier initiation, later termination, and longer growing periods ...
