Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...

Foliar delta C-13 values of nine dominant species in the Loess Plateau of China
, 2007 uThe foliar stable carbon isotope compositions (delta C-13) of nine dominant species in seven sites, Yangling, Yongshou, Tongchuan, Fuxian, Ansai, Mizhi, and Shenmu, standing from the south to the north in the Loess Plateau of China were studied.

Long‐term trends in greenness in the alpine zone of northeastern North America from remote sensing
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Alpine zones above treeline in the Appalachian Mountains and adjacent ranges of northeastern North America support distinctive ecological communities that thrive where conditions are too harsh for trees to grow. These communities differ from alpine zones elsewhere on the continent and are a regionally important source of floristic biodiversity,

Unravelling upbuilding pedogenesis in tephra and loess sequences in New Zealand using tephrochronology [PDF]
, 2010 The genesis of soils developed in either tephra or loess on stable sites differs markedly from that of soils developed on rock because classical topdown processes operate in conjuction with geological processes whereby material is added to the land ...

The Burden of Disease Attributable to Diet Low in Vegetables From 1990 to 2021: A Global Analysis
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021, temporal trends and disparities in disease burden attributable to diet low in vegetables from 1990 to 2021 were assessed. Globally, summary exposure value (SEV) and the age‐standardized rates of deaths and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to diet low in vegetables declined over

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10712-10731, September 2026.ABSTRACT Terraced fields and the Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP) are important soil and water conservation measures, widely constructed in China's Loess Plateau and other ecologically fragile areas in the world. However, under large‐scale governance scenarios, the impacts of the “terraced fields‐GLRP” cascade system on water and sediment ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10893-10910, September 2026.ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10960-10978, September 2026.ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10979-10992, September 2026.ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.
