Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

Water spectrum theory and technology: Supporting water security of National Water Network of China

River, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 321-327, August 2026.
Abstract The construction of the National Water Network of China (NWNC) is a major national initiative aimed at modernizing water governance and strengthening water security. However, the traditional understanding of water composition and dynamic evolution is not sufficient to support precision management and intelligent regulation of complex water ...

Prediction of permeability coefficients of coarse-grained soil based on GA-BP neural network

Shuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2018
In view of the obvious difference in the permeability of the coarse grained soil, effected by factors such as gradation of grain and compaction degree, a prediction method for the permeability of the coarse-grained soil is proposed in this study.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change

Mathematical Finance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 870-895, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...
