Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Graph Neural Network‐Based Prediction of Building Energy Consumption

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A graph neural network that encodes a multi‐zone building as a graph accurately predicts hourly cooling and heating loads across three distinct climates, outperforming Random Forest and XGBoost baselines and serving as a fast surrogate to EnergyPlus simulations for scalable building energy management.

Continuous monoculture of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge leads to continuous cropping challenges due to fungal pathogen accumulation and reduced beneficial bacteria abundance

Fruit Research
Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge, a unique oil crop native to northern China, has a long history of cultivation. In this study, X. sorbifolium Bunge was continuously planted in Zibo and Weifang, Shandong Province, to explore the factors that cause a decline

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Effectiveness of integrated shrub management and restoration techniques for rehabilitating shrub‐encroached rangelands of South Africa

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Herbaceous plant recovery following shrub clearing and reseeding in the rangelands of Peddie, Eastern Cape of South Africa. CTL, control; CO, cutting only; CR, cutting and reseeding; UPO, uprooting only; UPR, uprooting and reseeding. Abstract Background Shrub encroachment (SE) drives rangeland degradation, threatening biodiversity and forage ...

How much grassland do we need?

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
A scaling analysis of global planted grassland area vs. country size. Abstract The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, drawing attention to the importance of grasslands and the communities that rely on them. Rangelands cover 54% of Earth's land surface, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands,

Nitrogen Turnover in Swedish Spruce Forest Ecosystems [PDF]

, 2002
Nitrate leaching from growing forests is not yet a widespread problem in Sweden, but nitrogen (N) deposition and high N retention in the soil during recent decades might have changed forest ecosystems towards N saturation.
