Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone
Ecography, EarlyView.This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps
Ecography, EarlyView.Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs
Ecography, EarlyView.Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Comment on “Low time resolution analysis of ice cores cannot detect impulsive nitrate events” by D. F. Smart et al. [PDF]
, 2016 Smart et al. (2014) suggested that the detection of nitrate spikes in polar ice cores from solar energetic particle (SEP) events could be achieved if an analytical system with sufficiently high resolution was used.

Carbon Dots: An Emerging Frontier for Green and Sustainable Civil Engineering Materials
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Traditional civil engineering materials (CE materials) are usually involved with high‐energy consumption during manufacturing, significant maintenance costs, and substantial environmental impacts throughout their life cycles. The progress of nanotechnology is catalyzing a green and sustainable transformation within the field.

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Contact lenses (CLs) are increasingly used worldwide for refractive error correction because of their optical, cosmetic, and functional advantages over spectacles. However, although their safe and effective use depends on adequate knowledge and proper hygiene practices, there is limited evidence on contact lens‐related knowledge ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop
