Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Land-Cover Dependent Relationships between Fire and Soil Moisture

Fire, 2019
For this study, we characterized the dependence of fire counts (FCs) on soil moisture (SM) at global and sub-global scales using 15 years of remote sensing data.

The Drought Monitor [PDF]

, 2002
There is a need for improved drought monitoring and assessment methods in the United States. Drought is the most costly natural disaster [Federal Emergency Management Agancy (FEMA 1995; Wilhite 2000)], but it is often neglected by developers of ...

Detecting the Non‐Separable Causality in Soil Moisture‐Precipitation Coupling With Convergent Cross‐Mapping

Water Resources Research
Soil moisture‐Precipitation (SM‐P) coupling, especially the causality from SM to P (SM → P), is an important and highly debated topic. The causal inference from observational data provides a statistical approach for this issue, where the experimental ...

Bio‐Based Polyurethanes: Mechanical Performance, Structure–Property Relationships, and Future Directions

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review examines bio‐based polyurethanes from renewable feedstocks, focusing on structure‐property relationships governing mechanical performance. It analyzes reinforcement strategies, benchmarks against petrochemical counterparts, and explores future directions, including non‐isocyanate routes and circular economy integration for sustainable high ...

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Unveiling the role of past vapor pressure deficit through soil moisture in driving tropical vegetation productivity

Environmental Research Letters
The impact of soil moisture (SM) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on gross primary productivity (GPP) variability in ecosystems is a topic of significant interest. Previous studies have predominantly focused on real-time associations between SM, VPD, and

Integrating tunable LED‐induced plant responses with novel solar cell technologies for energy‐efficient agrivoltaic systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The increasing demand for sustainable food production requires innovative solutions that balance productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental impact. Vertical Farming Systems (VFSs) offer a promising approach; however, their high energy consumption remains challenging.
