Xanthic- and Rhodic-Acrudoxes under cerrado vegetation: differential internal drainage and covarying micromorphological properties

Ciência e Agrotecnologia
Soil internal drainage plays a major role in soil genesis, and it is mostly dependent on topography. However, the existence of sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rock strata with variable dip angle allows for strong differences in internal drainage for ...

Momentum Decoupling Drives Low‐Wind Events During Heatwaves in China: A Hybrid Explainable Machine Learning and Dynamical Modeling Approach

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Compound heatwave and low‐wind (HW‐LW) events increasingly threaten China's energy security. Analysis of 2000–2023 data reveals these compound extremes account for 18.5% of total heatwaves, with their annual frequencies nearly doubling in recent years.

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 873-887, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and
