Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9155-9189, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

Space‐Time Coding Conformal Metasurfaces for Multifrequency Beam Steering and Shaping

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
Space‐time coding conformal metasurfaces enable dynamic wave control on curved surfaces by combining programmable spatial patterns with temporal modulation. This study shows that a single conformal aperture can independently manipulate multiple frequency components, achieving multifunctional beam shaping and steering, with implications for ...

Metasurface‐Enabled Active‐Like Passive Radar

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
A programmable space‐time‐coding metasurface embeds distinct spatiotemporal tags into ambient wireless signals, allowing passive radar to operate in an active‐like manner. By enabling code‐correlated reconstruction under interference, the approach supports robust real‐time UAV tracking in complex environments and points to intelligent, low‐power ...

Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...

Enhancing Intra‐Specific Population Genetic Studies of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Irish Waters by Integrating Least Invasive Sampling and Environmental DNA (eDNA)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Three populations of bottlenose dolphins are found in Irish waters. This study used direct sampling methods to expand the sample size and confirm the distinctiveness of these populations, including a range expansion outside of the Shannon Estuary SAC.

Morphodynamic adjustment in a watershed affected by megafires: Deadman River, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Deadman River watershed (British Columbia, Canada) was severely impacted by the Sparks Lake Fire in 2021. Timelapse photogrammetry reveals sharp post‐fire channel widening and increase in migration rate. Through multispectral remote‐sensing analysis, these morphodynamic changes are related to burn severity affecting the watershed.

Tracing river dynamics: Multi‐temporal planform evolution and morphological change analyses in a meandering reach using high‐resolution satellite imagery and UAV data

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
High‐resolution satellite imagery and UAV data enabled detailed morphometric parameter calculation, meander classification and multi‐epoch change detection for the Atrak River's meandering channel. Our results reveal rapid, episodic migration and a nearly tenfold surge in bank erosion triggered by the 2019 extreme flood, with persistent instability at ...

Traffic Flow Data Collection Methods During Wildfire Evacuation

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 601-612, August/September 2026.
ABSTRACT With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024.

A 3D Model of Ryegrass Shoot Architecture, Sward Light Interception and Photosynthesis

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Increasing the photosynthetic capacity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is required to improve the productivity of pastoral farming in temperate regions. A three‐dimensional (3D) model was constructed of the shoot growth of ryegrass based on plant morphological traits such as tiller angle, leaf angle, leaf width, number of tillers per plant ...

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.
