The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Tripartite Symbiosis Between Legumes, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Rhizobia: Interactions and Regulation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3789-3807, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Integrating Soil Taxonomy With Soil and Remote Sensing Indices for Site‐Specific Management in the Egyptian Nile Delta Fringes

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainable soil management in arid regions is constrained by the limited translation of subgroup‐level soil taxonomy into site‐specific agronomic recommendations. Hence, this study integrated field observations and laboratory analyses from 18 soil profiles with freely available Google Earth Engine (GEE) datasets.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.

Hyperspectral Fingerprinting of Dune Sediments Across the Arabian Peninsula: Insights Into Sediment Provenance and Transport Pathways From NASA's EMIT Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The Arabian Peninsula encompasses one of the world's most extensive aeolian systems, yet the provenance and transport history of its dune sediments are not well understood. Using hyperspectral data from NASA's Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), we mapped mineral compositions and abundance patterns across dune fields and ...

Comparison of Soil Mineralogy From EMIT Imaging Spectroscopy and Ground‐Based Measurements in the Deserts of Southern California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The highly variable spatial composition of desert soils remains a major source of uncertainty in estimates of dust radiative forcing. Existing soil mineralogy data sets used in climate models are limited by sparse ground observations and coarse spatial resolution.
