Variation characteristics and influencing mechanisms of CO2 flux from grassland ecosystem in the Central Tianshan Mountains, China

Ecological Indicators
The intensification of carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes in grassland ecosystems due to global climate change makes the achievement of carbon neutrality goals more challenging, particularly in arid regions with sensitive climates and fragile ecological ...

The southwest Kalahari dune field does not emit dust post‐fire despite a lack of vegetation and above‐threshold winds

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
The southwest Kalahari dune field has resident fine grains which may be emitted as mineral dust after protective vegetation is removed by fire. However, low wind speeds, high initial surface cover, and the protective effect of biocrusts result in the low possibility of the southwest Kalahari emitting dust post‐fire.

Improving dust simulation over the Taklimakan Desert through refinement of wind profile parameters in the Revised-MM5 scheme

Atmospheric Environment: X
The Taklimakan Desert, the world's second-largest shifting-sand desert, is a major dust source for northwestern China and East Asia, and its emissions contribute substantially to the global dust cycle. Therefore, improving dust forecasts over this region

Rain, Bark, and Residual Variability in Stemflow From Three Dominant Tree Species of a Southern Great Lakes Forest

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Terrestrial LiDAR and hydrology calibration were used to derive each tree's stemflow drainage area, normalising rainfall‐stemflow relations by contributing surface. The results show that Fagus grandifolia (beech) maintains a stronger, steeper hydrological response to rainfall (exhibited by a higher normalised yield) than Acer saccharum (maple) and ...

Rapid Loss of Terrestrial Ecosystem Multifunctionality in China on a Century Scale

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) is a crucial factor in protecting biodiversity and regulating climate dynamics. However, the global and regional dynamics of EMF are currently limited to field experiments, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the spatial patterns and driving mechanisms of EMF.

Analysis of Sand Dune Migration and Future Trends on the Western Edge of the Kumtag Desert

Land
Sand dune migration, as a typical dynamic process of aeolian geomorphology in arid regions, directly influences regional ecological security and infrastructure development. Focusing on the western edge of the Kumtag Desert, this study uses remote sensing

Annual Variability in Marine Particulate Trace Elements During the Hawaii Aerosol Time‐Series

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Hawaii Aerosol Time‐Series (HATS) was a coordinated effort to simultaneously monitor atmospheric and water column dust dynamics in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Throughout 2022 and 2023, HATS measured the composition of water column particles and made complementary measurements of aerosol chemistry and deposition fluxes.

Improving Sandstorm Simulations by Parameterizing Form Drag From Subgrid Sand Dunes Using 30‐m‐Resolution Terrain Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Surface and near‐surface wind speeds, critical factors for dust emission, are often overestimated in desert regions by models, leading to exaggerated predictions of sandstorm extent and dust concentration. This study implements a new turbulent orographic form drag (TOFD) parameterization scheme using 30‐m‐resolution terrain data in the WRF ...
