Diverse morphologies found in living microbial mats and associated microbialites—A field report from the alkaline and hypersaline Nuoertu Lake, Badain Jaran Desert, N‐China

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Diverse living microbial communities showing stacked mats and finger‐like branching examples that grow with the support of reed grass (phytomicrobialites) as well as aragonitic stromatolitic tufa have been rediscovered in the alkaline and hypersaline Lake Nuoertu in the Badain Jaran Desert N. China.

Functionally Rich Fish Assemblages Support Greater Rates of Multiple Ecological Functions in Seagrass Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We show that the functional diversity of fishes promotes multifunctionality in seagrass meadows. We found that there was consistency in the seascape context and connectivity variables that structured the rate and distribution of different components of functioning and the functional diversity of fish in seagrass meadows.

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Enhanced fine soil aggregation and organic matter accumulation facilitated by Salix Psammophila sand barriers along desert highways

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Desert ecosystems are inherently nutrient-limited and highly susceptible to disturbances. In such arid environments, sand barriers play a pivotal role in ecological restoration efforts. Despite their importance, the long-term effects of Salix Psammophila

Improving Sandstorm Simulations by Parameterizing Form Drag From Subgrid Sand Dunes Using 30‐m‐Resolution Terrain Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Surface and near‐surface wind speeds, critical factors for dust emission, are often overestimated in desert regions by models, leading to exaggerated predictions of sandstorm extent and dust concentration. This study implements a new turbulent orographic form drag (TOFD) parameterization scheme using 30‐m‐resolution terrain data in the WRF ...

The effect of vinasse as a carbon source on the activity of urease-producing bacteria in the microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) approach. [PDF]

Desert
One of the most important causes of soil desertification is wind erosion. Deserts are known for their poor physical, chemical, and biological properties. In order to solve the problem of loose sand, many solutions have been thought and used so far. Today,
