The Effects of Biome Stability During the Quaternary on Plant Diversity
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We used machine learning to reconstruct global biome changes over the last 2.6 million years, revealing that tropical forests, deserts, and temperate forests were relatively stable, whereas northern Europe and North America experienced frequent biome shifts due to ice sheet expansions.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.Flash drought development across Northeast Asia is governed by distinct hydroclimatic controls linked to atmospheric demand and water availability. Using the Standardized Evaporative Stress Ratio framework, this study classifies flash drought events into water‐availability‐driven and demand‐driven mechanisms.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.
