Urbanization and Spatial Aggregation Impair Multifunctionality in Urban Vacant Lots

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the first assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in urban vacant lots. Although urbanization and spatial aggregation of vacant lots impaired multifunctionality, soil moisture improved it. ABSTRACT Urban shrinkage, driven by population decline rather than expansion, is an emerging concern in many developed ...

Weathering the storm: Effect of climate change on acute stroke care and stroke rehabilitation

PM&R, Volume 18, Issue S1, Page S67-S72, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change has deleterious effects on stroke recovery, disproportionately affecting populations with increased stroke incidence. These effects start prior to the acute care hospitalization, precipitated by environmental etiologies and are sustained throughout the life course of stroke survivors.

Impacts of a Century‐Old Urban Dam on Water Quality and Habitat Composition, Flint River, Flint, MI

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 432-443, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Dams significantly influence river ecosystems worldwide, fragmenting habitats, altering sediment transport, and reducing biodiversity. Urban rivers are especially vulnerable, where dams compound stressors such as channelization, pollution, and degraded riparian zones. In response, dam removals are a growing restoration tool globally.

Achieving Transboundary Water Security Through Water Innovations: A Framework and Cases

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Alternative sources of freshwater, provided by various innovations, have long been available to countries facing acute water stress. We hypothesize that avoiding and/or resolving conflict with neighbors—caused by the uncertainty of continued access to shared surface water and groundwater sources—is another driver of innovation adoption ...

Integrating Urban Expansion and Flood Risk: A Spatial Assessment of Impervious Surface Growth and Floodplain Exposure in Mecklenburg County (2011–2021)

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.
