Biodiversity and biomass co‐regulate urban forest drought resistance
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 5, June 2026.Severe droughts induced by climate change present substantial challenges to urban forests. While the role that species richness plays in enhancing drought resistance in natural ecosystems has been highlighted in previous studies, its impact within urban forests remains less understood.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.This systematic review and bibliometric synthesis of 529 primary studies (1990–2025) maps the thematic, methodological and geographic structure of river water temperature (Tw) science. Evidence is concentrated in high‐income temperate regions, local or catchment‐scale studies, daily data and statistical modelling.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.Representation (not to scale) of potential high elevation recharge and low elevation return flows within the Guatemala City metropolitan area. ABSTRACT Guatemala City is the most populous urban center in Central America. In this urban center, groundwater extraction within the last 40 years has substantially declined water table levels and accelerated ...

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Study of urban heat island and its interplay with impervious surface in Dongguan, China
, 2012 Impervious surface which is almost never affected by seasonal variations is a key indicator of urban expansion and urban heat island effect. In this study, we employ a new integrated enhancing index to extract impervious surfaces and compare the results ...

The Baltimore Community Weather Station Network: Filling the Urban Measurement Desert
Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Quantification and understanding of how heat, rainfall, and air quality vary within cities are needed to identify the area with the worst conditions, develop solutions to extreme weather, and assess the impact of proposed policies. However, neighborhood‐level variability is not well quantified because there are few environmental measurement ...

Amplification of Flood Hazard and Damage by Compounding Pluvial and Fluvial Flooding
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Flood risk management has traditionally treated fluvial and pluvial flooding in isolation, for example, by producing inundation maps separately for each flood type. Here, we develop an integrated modeling framework capable of capturing the interplay of both flood types when they co‐occur.
