Springtime Formation of Laminated Soil Carbonate Rinds and Changes in Fluvial Terrace Soils on Orbital Timescales at Rio Mesa, Utah, USA

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Laminated soil carbonate rinds are a Quaternary paleoclimate archive whose isotope composition is linked to soil formation conditions. At Rio Mesa, Utah (USA), we investigated the fidelity of rind records in a river terrace setting by determining the seasonal timing of rind formation and testing for inter‐record replication.

Enhancement of Soil Organic Carbon, Water Use Efficiency and Maize Yield (Zea mays L.) in Sandy Soil through Organic Amendment (Grass Peat) Incorporation

Agronomy
The efficient use of organic amendment (OM) is considered an economic, environmental and sustainable practice to improve soil quality, especially the accumulation of organic carbon (C) and water use efficiency (WUE) in dryland agriculture.

Evaluate Sequential Interventions for Adaptive Water Management in Large River Basins

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) and Adaptive Water Management (AWM) have been widely promoted as guiding principles, yet their practical realization at the basin scale remains difficult and underutilized. Sequential Interventions (SIs), stepwise actions applied in a predefined sequence at designated decision points, offer a practical ...

Leveraging the TabPFN Algorithm for High‐Resolution Mapping of Groundwater Bicarbonate and Its Scaling Risk Across China

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Large‐scale groundwater quality prediction is often constrained by sparse sampling, limiting the reliability of spatial assessments. This study introduces Tabular Prior‐data Fitted Network (TabPFN), a machine learning model based on prior‐fitting networks, to address this challenge and enable high‐precision mapping of groundwater bicarbonate ...

Computers and chess masters: The role of AI in transforming elite human performance

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 585-609, May 2026.
Abstract Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in recent years, often supplementing rather than replacing human performance. The extent of their assistance at the highest levels of human performance remains unclear. We analyse over 11.6 million decisions of elite chess players, a domain commonly used as a testbed for AI

The Wheat CRK‐RLCK‐MAPKs Signalling Module Confers High‐Temperature All‐Stage Resistance to Stripe Rust

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2988-3008, May 2026.
ABSTRACT As global warming continues, rising temperatures significantly alter the interactions between wheat and the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Utilising high‐temperature all‐stage (HTAS) resistance to Pst is a novel strategy for breeding climate and disease resilient wheat cultivars.
