Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

On the Peculiar Properties of Extremely Low Frequency Lightning Generated Whistlers Detected at Low Earth Orbit Altitudes Close to the Magnetic Equator

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Lightning strikes generate broadband electromagnetic signals. At Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF), these signals partly leak into the ionosphere and produce so‐called Lightning Generated (LG) whistlers that the Absolute Scalar Magnetometers on board the ESA Swarm satellites can detect.

Backward Darts and the Subsequent Scattered Discharges Occurring Along Lightning Positive Leader Branches

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract We used the LOw‐Frequency ARray (LOFAR) to identify two new types of lightning discharges occurring along the tracks of earlier positive leaders. The first is a kind of intracloud dart leader that we call a “backward dart” whose behavior appears counterintuitive given the positive polarity of the channel, as they are negative dart leaders that

Can ERA5 Be Used to Study Mesoscale Convective System Climatological Characteristics?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) produce more than half of tropical rainfall and are central to the global hydrologic cycle. As the climate warms, environments favorable for MCSs may become more common; however, limited observational records hamper understanding of how MCSs respond to variations and changes in their environments.

Direct Ionosonde Evidence of F‐Layer Disturbances Driven by Intense Lightning Activity at Low Latitudes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Thunderstorms could cause the irregularities of electron density distributions in the ionosphere by exciting gravity waves and modifying ambient electric field (E‐field). By comparing the DPS‐4D ionosonde observation at 5‐min resolution at Fuke Station in Hainan, China with the lightning detection data, we studied the F‐layer responses to a ...
