Dual Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index for monitoring forest moisture stress using time series of Sentinel‐1 SAR data

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the potential of the Sentinel‐1 Dual Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index, combined with climate variables and the Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index, to effectively detect and monitor drought‐induced stress in temperate broadleaf deciduous forests.

SPEI and Hurst Analysis of Precipitation in the Amazonian Area of Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia
Amazon rainforest controls, to some extent, the global hydrological cycle. The objectives of the present work were (i) to investigate hydrologicalpatterns in a larger regionof the Brazilian rainforestthrough 9-month SPEI series and (ii) to search for ...

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...

Comparative study of SPI and SPEI drought indices for meteorological drought assessment in Mauritius

Jàmbá
Drought is a global issue affecting many countries, including Mauritius, which is vulnerable to this natural hazard. This study compares two robust drought indices: the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) and its variant the Standardised Precipitation

Chromosomal DNA deletion confers phage resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria develop a broad range of phage resistance mechanisms, such as prevention of phage adsorption and CRISPR/Cas system, to survive phage predation.

No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

Effect of sowing date and genotype on pearl millet yield across semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In climate change–vulnerable, food‐insecure semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa, limited studies compared the performance of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)] landraces and improved genotypes under staggered sowing to establish their interactions, resulting in a generalization that landraces are lower yielding than their improved ...

Tropical Rainforests Exhibit Higher Multidimensional Stability Than Rubber Plantations Despite Lower Resistance to Temperature Anomalies

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Rapid rubber plantations (RB) expansion in Southeast Asia raises critical questions about regional ecosystem stability. We compared stability between monoculture RB and diverse tropical rainforests (RF) using 37 years of satellite‐derived gross primary productivity across three metrics: long‐term temporal stability, resilience, and resistance ...
