Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 173-187, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1992-2009, February 2026.
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Reliability and Validity of the Italian Translation of the Updated Version of the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT 2.0)

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The study aimed to translate the PUKAT 2.0 tool from English to Italian. This was an adaptation and validation study; the validity of the Italian version was determined through content validity, item validity and construct validity. The reliability of the instrument was assessed by conducting a test–retest analysis on a sample of 62 nurses ...

The Dutch Point‐based Eco‐scheme: a Transition to a Results‐based Policy L’éco‐régime par point néerlandais : une transition vers une politique axée sur les résultats Die niederländische punktebasierte Öko‐Regelung: Übergang zu einer ergebnisorientierten Politik

EuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 41-50, December 2025.
Summary In this article we present the Dutch eco‐scheme as an example of a results‐based scheme which fits well into the ‘new delivery model’ of the CAP 2023–2027. Implemented in 2023, the scheme offers farmers a menu of 22 eco‐activities, from which they can choose every year.

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from
