Change in habitat over time for the rare, endemic Pediocactus paradinei

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pediocactus paradinei is a rare endemic cactus on the Colorado Plateau that may be increasingly vulnerable to ongoing ecological and climatic change. In 2022, we resampled ecological monitoring plots originally surveyed in 2005 to assess changes in vegetation, habitat conditions, and characteristics related to pollinator habitat across the species ...

Landslides induced by slaking of geomaterial

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The geological event that happens because of an unbalance between shear strength and shear stress on rock mass is known as a landslide. This usually occurs due to improper handling of the exposed material.

Factors for strength attenuation of mudstone during slaking and disintegration

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
Slaking, a common engineering characteristic, is the main weathering mode from clay-bearing rocks to soils. Due to the influences of wetting-drying cycles of natural climate, mudstone can slake and disintegrate into the grains with different sizes, which

An Interpretable Machine Learning Approach to Ecologically Characterize Soil Carbon and Structure From Multi‐Kingdom Microbiome, Texture and Climate

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil physical structure is a critical determinant of agricultural landscape resilience, yet standard pedotransfer functions estimate soil hydraulic and structural properties using static abiotic variables, often overlooking the biological mechanisms that actively organize soil structure.

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9114-9125, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

Exosomal TGM2 From Hypoxia‐Primed Olfactory Mucosa MSCs Attenuates Senescent Astrocytes via NRF1/TFAM Signaling in Parkinson's Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Hypoxia‐preconditioned olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM‐MSCs) release exosomes enriched with transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), which are taken up by astrocytes. Inside the nucleus, TGM2 activates NRF1, leading to the upregulation of TFAM. This enhances mitochondrial function by reducing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage and improving mitochondrial ...

Dietary Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides Support Retinal Redox Homeostasis Through Gut Microbiota–Associated Metabolic Modulation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Summary schematic illustrating the proposed association among dietary LBP intake, gut microbiota remodeling, fecal metabolic pathway modulation, retinal metabolite changes, and retinal antioxidant signaling. The model summarizes associations observed in the present study and does not imply direct causal proof.

Experimental investigation of the influence of the growth of saprotrophic fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus) on the aggregate stability of a silty sand [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Granular soils are highly susceptible to erosion, a process that may contribute to slope instability. For example, gully erosion promotes preferential flow and toe erosion, eventually leading to undercutting and slope failure. Given that soil erodibility

Taya Caves, a Buddhist marvel hidden in underground Japan: stone properties, deterioration, and environmental setting

Heritage Science, 2020
The Buddhist sacred site of Taya Caves is a gem hidden underground in Yokohama, Japan. The caves were excavated and sculpted into bare rock by Shingon Buddhist monks from the Kamakura until the Edo period (thirteenth–nineteenth century), and dedicated to

Altered Functional Connectivity in the Reward Circuit in Betel Quid‐Dependent Chewers

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2026.
Resting‐state fMRI identified abnormal functional connectivity within the reward circuit in individuals with betel quid dependence, involving the ventral striatum, prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex and thalamus. Reduced connectivity between the thalamus and posterior cingulate cortex was related to dependence severity and BQ dosage.
