Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

Extreme minimum temperature and precipitation indices drive the shortening of snow cover duration in China

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: This research focuses on China's stable snow cover regions, encompassing the Mid-Temperate Arid, Semi-Arid, and Semi-Humid Zones, alongside the Plateau Temperate Semi-Arid Zone.

Winter Type, Mediated by Land‐Surface Processes, Controls Seasonal Discharge Variability in Culturally Critical Ecosystems in the US's Upper Midwest

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Results showed snowpack to be the primary driver of springtime flow in the low‐relief, humid Upper Midwest U.S., with overall winter precipitation and thawing acting as key secondary drivers impacting hydrological flux partitioning across the land surface.

Divergent Transformation of Wet to Cold Bias on the Tibetan Plateau in Climate Models During Snow Season

Geophysical Research Letters
Wet and cold biases on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) commonly exist in global and regional climate simulations. Previous studies have explored the possible causes of wet and cold biases and contributed to reducing these biases. However, the connection between

Extreme Climate Events in Morocco: Historical Analysis and Future Projections Based on CMIP6 Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
Historical observations and bias‐corrected CMIP6 projections reveal intensifying warm extremes, declining cold events and increasingly irregular precipitation patterns across Morocco. Future warming, particularly under SSP5‐8.5, produces an almost linear amplification of heat, aridity and hydrological stress, leading to longer droughts and more intense

This is fine: Mule deer and elk do not substantially change their behavior in response to active wildfires

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Between birch and berries: seasonal dietary niche partitioning among sympatric alpine herbivorous birds

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning is important for the coexistence of closely related species, allowing species to reduce overlap in resource use despite shared ecological requirements. In alpine environments, harsh climatic conditions and low habitat complexity constrain opportunities for ecological segregation, making seasonal resource fluctuation especially ...

Warming Drives Large‐Scale Shifts in Post‐Disturbance Vegetation Dynamics and Expansion of Deciduous Trees in the Boreal Forest in a Dynamic Vegetation Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The intensification of disturbance regimes due to climate change is a growing concern in boreal forests, yet the long‐term consequences for forest recovery remain poorly understood, as boreal successional dynamics unfold over a century or longer and exceed the length of available observational records.

Efficient Emulation, Uncertainty Quantification, and Sensitivity Analysis for a Land Surface Model Using Evidential Deep Learning

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Land surface models (LSMs), such as the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5), represent complex vegetation processes; however, systematic biases persist between modeled and observed leaf area index (LAI) because of parameter uncertainties and knowledge gaps.

Carbon‐Nutrient Interactions Under Insect Disturbance Simulated by the Land‐Surface Model QUINCY 21edff48

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Insect outbreaks significantly impact tree mortality and carbon‐nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet most terrestrial biosphere models do not represent insect disturbances due to the complexity of nutrient processes and limited data. To address this gap, we implemented a new insect impacts module in the QUINCY (Quantifying Interactions ...
