Climate Warming Amplifies the Contribution of High‐Altitude Cold Regions to Global Carbonate Weathering Carbon Sink

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Carbonate weathering carbon‐sink (CWCS) is a critical yet inaccurately quantified component of terrestrial carbon sequestration. However, the mechanisms through which climate change and vegetation dynamics drive the spatial heterogeneity of CWCS remain unclear.

On the Future of Extreme Rainfall in New Zealand

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Extreme rainfall is intensifying under climate change, but projected changes in the intensity, frequency, and spatial extent of extremes are not yet well constrained for smaller nations like New Zealand. Here, we use high‐resolution (∼12 km) dynamically downscaled CMIP6 climate simulations to examine future changes in annual maximum one‐day ...

Increasing Population and Cropland Exposure to Human‐Induced Sequential Heatwave‐Downpour Events

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Compound sequential heatwave‐downpour (SHD) events, characterized by abrupt shifts from heatwaves to heavy rainfall, pose serious threats to health, infrastructure, and agriculture. However, the anthropogenic influence on the increasing trend of SHD events is poorly understood, and projections also exhibit large uncertainties.

Evaluation of Urban Flood Susceptibility Under the Influence of Urbanization Based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

Land
Urban flood susceptibility has emerged as a critical challenge for cities worldwide, exacerbated by rapid urbanization. This study evaluates urban flood susceptibility under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) in the context of urbanization. A

Forecasting societies' adaptive capacities through a demographic metabolism model [PDF]

, 2017
In seeking to understand how future societies will be affected by climate change we cannot simply assume they will be identical to those of today, because climate and societies are both dynamic.

Disentangling the Roles of Microbial Traits and Mineral Protection in Regulating Temperature Sensitivity of Soil Carbon Decomposition in Eroded and Depositional Agricultural Soils

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition (Q10) governs the fate of soil carbon under global warming. Although erosion redistributes soil carbon at scales comparable to the terrestrial carbon sink, how erosion reshapes Q10 across large regional scales remains elusive.

A Preliminary Comparison of SOC Storage Between the Traditional Farmland and Well‐Facilitated Farmland Management

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to the global carbon cycle, yet unsustainable cultivation has resulted in a continuing SOC loss and has made it highly vulnerable to future climate change. In China, the Well‐Facilitated Farmland Construction (WFC) initiative has sought to enhance soil conditions by integrating farmland management units ...
