Elevational Habitat Associations of Tree Species and Deadwood in Ephemeral Streams of the Namib Desert

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
The research presents an in‐depth spatial study of three tree species that grow along ephemeral streams in the arid and hyper‐arid western part of Namibia. The trees form a linear oasis in major streams like the Kuiseb River and provide important shelter and habitat for a variety of plant and animal species. ABSTRACT In arid and hyper‐arid regions with

Fluvially Sourced Sediment Supply and Climate Modulate Morphodynamics and State Transitions in Bistable Aeolian Dunefields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Alternative stable state theory in aeolian geomorphology describes the occurrence of bare and vegetated aeolian dunes in response to long‐term climatic and ecological drivers. Transitions between states, as well as their co‐occurrence (bistability), can arise from perturbations to drivers, disturbance, and associated biophysical feedbacks ...

Car‐Mounted Airborne eDNA Sampling Detects Landscape Scale Biodiversity Turnover Along Environmental Gradients

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Documenting accelerating global biodiversity decline requires monitoring tools that can operate across large spatial scales and repeated timeframes. Analysis of airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging method used to track species distributions, but it is unknown whether airborne eDNA retains coherent ecological signals across ...

ER-GMMD: Cross-Scene Remote Sensing Classification Method of Tamarix chinensis in the Yellow River Estuary

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Tamarix chinensis effectively prevents coastal erosion, stabilizes the surface of coastal wetlands, and improves the soil quality of saline-alkali land, playing a crucial role in coastal wetland ecosystem restoration.

Landscape Mapping Reveals Depth‐Dependent Regional Heterogeneity in Soil Microbial Diversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify microbial hotspots and investigate the spatial distribution and assembly mechanisms of soil bacterial and archaeal communities across a coastal ecosystem, and to assess implications for biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. Location Yellow River Delta, China (YRD, ~13,680 km2 coastal plain). Methods A total

Remarks on the types of Tamarix names (Tamaricaceae) described from the Iberian Peninsula

, 2021
The typification of 20 names in the genus Tamarix is revised. All the names were described from material collected in the Iberian Peninsula and most of them were described by Carlos Pau, Frère Sennen and their collaborators (one name—Tamarix hispanica ...

Long term effect of dune fixation by three shrub species on vegetation and Orthoptera communities in arid dunes of Algeria [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research
The present work analyzed flora and Orthoptera communities in three different plantations in the arid area of El Mesrane, Djelfa Wilaya, Algeria that begun 31 years earlier as means of fixation. The plantations consisted of retam (Retama raetam (Forssk.)

First Application of a Coastal‐Dune Model (AeoLiS) to Simulate Fluvial‐Aeolian Morphodynamics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Quantifying aeolian processes is important to decision‐making in river management and for optimizing strategies for ecosystem conservation, natural resource management, and recreation. We applied the AeoLiS aeolian transport model, originally developed for coastal environments, to a dryland river corridor to evaluate its ability to simulate ...

Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 232-246, September 2026.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...
