Predictive Models for Postfire Debris Flow Initiation in the Southwest USA
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Postfire debris flows pose a threat to life and infrastructure and significantly contribute to sediment supply in upland channels, thereby impacting water quality, stream habitats, and landscape evolution. Models designed to assess postfire debris‐flow likelihood at the watershed scale in response to design or forecast rainstorms are ...

Biological Aquatic Weed Control by Fish in the Lower Sonoran Desert of California
California Agriculture, 1975 Use of fish for biological aquatic weed control is becoming widespread in the irrigation system and recreational lakes of the lower Sonoran Desert of California. Two African species,

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Chemical weathering is of wide interest because it breaks down minerals, releases nutrients, weakens rock, and draws down atmospheric CO2. To quantify the sensitivity of soil chemical erosion rate to climate and dust, we measured soil chemical erosion rate, dust deposition rate, and soil climate at 18 ridgetop sites along a ∼2.8‐km elevation ...

Evolution of Soil Surface Roughness and Its Influence on Flow Pathways and Sediment Connectivity
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Soil surface roughness (RR) and its spatiotemporal variations are important for understanding soil erosion process, but how the erosion‐induced evolution of RR affects flow pathways and sediment connectivity patterns remains unclear. This study used high‐resolution topographic data sets from a long‐term rainfall simulation experiment in semi ...

Characteristics of Sonoran Desert Microbursts
Weather and Forecasting, 2011 Abstract During the 2008 North American monsoon season, 140 microburst events were identified in Phoenix, Arizona, and the surrounding Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran microbursts were studied and examined for their frequency and characteristics, as observed from data collected from three Doppler radars and electrical power infrastructure ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Outdoor recreation and the infrastructure that supports it can impose a wide range of effects on wildlife, and impacts can vary in their severity based on taxa, the surrounding landscape matrix, and the manner in which recreational spaces are managed.

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...
