Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 401-410, March 2026.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Potential distribution and susceptibility of Coffea arabica L. to climate change impacts

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 693-711, March 2026.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) are vital for understanding the impact of historical factors on ecosystems and predicting future climate change scenarios. These models help assess how environmental shifts affect agricultural species like coffee, which supports millions of people globally.

Integrating Satellite‐Based and Participatory Spatial Analyses for Local, Contextualised, and Nuanced Extreme Heat Hotspot Mapping in Overheated Urban Southeast Asia

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S2, Page 1015-1033, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation in Southeast Asia intensifies extreme‐heat exposure, especially where high population density, extensive impervious surfaces, and limited green cover coincide. This study combines multi‐decadal satellite‐derived land surface temperature (LST) mapping with spatial regression and community participatory mapping to locate ...

Climate‐Resilient Crop Production Under Agrivoltaics: Experimental Evaluation of Amaranth Production With Semi‐Transparent Photovoltaic Modules in Canada Under Changing Climates

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S2, Page 296-317, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change threatens global food security, requiring climate‐smart systems that enhance both crop resilience and sustainable energy production. While agrivoltaics is recognized for combining solar power generation with agriculture, its effects on emerging stress‐tolerant crops such as amaranth remain largely unexplored, particularly under ...

Assessment of the Spatiotemporal Patterns and Ecological Impacts of Photovoltaic Power Plants in Central Asia

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) power plants rapidly expand in drylands because of the high solar potential and efficient land‐use capabilities. However, existing PV data sets are often incomplete and lack installation timestamps, which significantly hinder comprehensive assessments of PV power plants' ecological impacts. By integrating a random forest (RF)

Urban Shrinkage and Surface Urban Heat Islands: Does Population Decline Lead to Cooling? A Spatiotemporal Analysis of China's 89 Shrinking Cities (2001–2019)

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Numerous studies have examined how urban expansion exacerbates Surface Urban Heat Island intensity (SUHII), yet limited attention has been paid to whether and how urban shrinkage mitigates SUHII. This study employed multiple models to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of surface urban heat island (SUHI) and its driving factors in 89 ...

Do Community Characteristics Explain Heat‐Related Illness in Seoul, Korea?

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Heatwaves intensified by climate change have increasingly threatened public health, highlighting the need for proactive and spatially targeted interventions. This study aimed to provide scientific evidence for managing the risk of heat‐related illness (HRI) by integrating community‐level physical environments and sociodemographic ...

Numerical Simulation of Vertical Profiles of Meteorological Variables in Urban Neighborhoods: Coupling an Urban Vertical Diffusion Model With a Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (UVDM‐SLUCM)

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Heterogeneous landscape leads to large variations of urban microclimate in all dimensions, yet the vertical variability of meteorological elements within the urban canopy layer (UCL) has been rarely examined. In the present study, we developed an urban vertical diffusion model coupled with a single‐layer urban canopy model.
