Can Airborne eDNA Be Used to Assess the Impacts of Invasive Species on Biodiversity?
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.We sequenced airborne eDNA to target plant and arthropod communities in woodlands with an invasive forest pest present and woodlands with no known infestations. We did not find differences in plant communities; however, we found site differences in the arthropod communities between the infested and non‐infested sites.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 6, November/December 2026.Abstract Accurate characterization of soil physico‐hydraulic properties is critical for irrigation and drainage design, solute transport, soil–water–plant, and rainfall–runoff relationships. However, spatially representative datasets for these properties remain limited for the Indus Basin of Pakistan, where hydrological studies often rely on ...

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 ...

Dune Crestline Mapping With Deep Learning Reveals Large‐Scale Dune Patterns in NW China
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Dune crestlines encode sediment transport dynamics and atmospheric forcing, yet their large‐scale quantification has been constrained by labor‐intensive mapping or limited resolution. Here we develop an attention‐augmented U‐Net model to automatically extract crestlines from ∼1 m resolution satellite imagery.
