Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Conceptual model of depth‐stratified soil acidification under long‐term no‐till in temperate (Washington, USA) and tropical (Brazilian Oxisol) systems. Nitrogen inputs promote surface acidification (↓pH) and increased Al3+ activity, while lime or silicate amendments modify base cation dynamics. Increased DOC–Al complexation reduces free Al3+ and alters

Beyond the Lab: Cognitive Neuroscience in Real‐World Contexts
WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Cognitive neuroscience often assumes that using laboratory animals, model species, and digital simulations enables generalizations from lab to wild, from animals to humans, and from virtual to physical. We challenge these assumptions and call for refining ecological validity along three dimensions: subject phenotype, task naturalness, and environmental

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Meteorological droughts (persistent precipitation deficits) often, but not always, transition into agricultural droughts (persistent soil moisture deficits). The intensity of agricultural drought, however, can vary for a given precipitation deficit due to a number of catalyzing co‐factors beyond precipitation such as atmospheric evaporative ...
