Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Desert cities in the U.S. Southwest experience the nation's highest aerosol burdens, but how air pollution co‐evolves with hydroclimatic–LULC metrics and racial/ethnic exposure dynamics remains unclear. We developed 30 m Landsat‐derived summer aerosol optical depth (AOD) (2000–2020) for Phoenix, used explainable machine learning to attribute ...

Positive Analysis of Invasive Species Control as a Dynamic Spatial Process [PDF]
This paper models control of invasive buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare), a fire-prone African bunchgrass spreading rapidly across the southern Arizona desert as a spatial dynamic process. Buffelgrass spreads over a gridded landscape.
