Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.
We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Asynchronous Coupling Between China's Forest Canopy Structure and Belowground Biomass Carbon in the 21st Century

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10127-10146, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatio‐temporal relationship between Forest Canopy Structure (FCS) and Belowground Biomass Carbon (BGBC) is fundamental to determining how optimizing spatial structure can maximize forest carbon‐sink potential in land management. However, the lidar data resolution over the space and time exists limitation, causing the coupling relationship

Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Native Vegetation Conservation in Rural Properties of the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10162-10173, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The conservation of native vegetation in rural properties of the Brazilian semi‐arid region constitutes a critical challenge for regional environmental sustainability and land degradation prevention. This study analyzed the influence of socioeconomic factors of rural landowners on native vegetation retention in properties from the Central ...

Predictive Ecosystem Health Assessment Under Land‐Use and Vegetation Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10417-10439, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

Weak Tropical Tropospheric OH Response to Idealized ENSO

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The hydroxyl radical (OH) is a key oxidant for methane. Previous studies suggest that OH exhibits interannual variability linked to the El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), but the sign, magnitude, and underlying mechanisms of this response remain uncertain.

Model Sensitivities of Biomass‐Burning Aerosol Chemical Aging, Sulfate Formation, and Cloud Droplet Activation in the Southeastern Atlantic Using CESM and E3SM

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Biomass‐burning smoke drives large uncertainty in climate projections of the Earth's radiative balance. This is due to the chemical and physical evolution of smoke and its impact on clouds and radiation. Here we focus on the southeastern Atlantic region and its inflow of African biomass‐burning smoke during August 2017.
