Water and Communal Conflict: A Review of the Literature

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Conceptual summary of the relationship between water access and communal resilience. Following the IPCC, resilience is understood as the capacity to cope with disturbance, responding in ways that maintain systems' essential function, identity, and structure while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning, and transformation.

Toward Co‐Designed Earth System Models: Reflecting End‐User Priorities in Local Applications From a Modeler's Perspective

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Earth System Models (ESM) are crucial for quantifying climate impacts across Earth's interconnected systems and supporting science‐based adaptation and mitigation. However, not including end‐users, especially decision‐makers representing communities vulnerable to climate change, can limit model utility, increase epistemic risks, and lead to ...

Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

A Global Perspective on River Alkalinity: Drivers and Implications for Coastal Ocean Carbonate Chemistry

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The chemical nature of river water significantly influences the coastal carbonate system, contributing to coastal acidification and creating suboptimal conditions for marine calcifiers. While several regional efforts have assessed observationally based riverine concentrations and fluxes of total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon ...

Effects of liming on soil physical and chemical properties in Europe and North America: A review

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Soil acidity is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. About 50% of the global arable land is acidic. Liming remains an effective strategy for soil acidity amelioration and improvement of soil fertility. The objective of this review was to summarize information on liming effects on soil physical and chemical ...

INSECT LIFE AND LETTERS: THE STUDIES OF HANNS HEINZ EWERS AND OTTO AND ROSE HECHT

German Life and Letters, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 342-363, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This article argues that vast histories of war and displacement in the twentieth century are connected to the small and almost unnoticeable lives of insects, and that philology has much to gain from paying attention to insect worlds. We examine two case studies: the work of the German entomologist Otto Hecht and his wife, Rose Caro Hecht, and ...

Balancing Immediate Relief and Resilience: Centring Local Voices for Disaster Aid and Capacity Building in Climate‐Conflict Vulnerable Communities

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 4589-4603, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change exacerbates fragility and security risks; however, the intersectional vulnerabilities arising from climate and conflict in fragile regions remain insufficiently studied, particularly from local perspectives. While development practices have increasingly shifted towards capacity‐building approaches, traditional aid distribution ...
