Aggregation and carbon content in urban soil blends: Insights from a three‐decade chronosequence
Abstract Manufactured soil blends are increasingly used for urban landscaping where access to suitable natural topsoil is limited. These mixed sandy soils contain substantial compost but are essentially structureless at installation. Aggregate formation in these blends, critical for water and nutrient retention, remains poorly understood.

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...

Abstract In many watersheds, urbanization and agriculture have altered stream hydrology and morphology, increasing flow variability, and sediment transport imbalances. Beaver dam analogs (BDAs) offer a process‐based alternative to conventional gray or hard‐engineered stormwater infrastructure to slow flow, promote sediment deposition, and enhance ...

Characterization of Municipal Water Uses in Urban Areas Across the Contiguous United States
Abstract An improved understanding of municipal water demand is essential for transitioning toward sustainable urban water management. This study develops a municipal water demand model by utilizing the Integrated Urban Water Model (IUWM), aimed at estimating and analyzing urban water use patterns across urban areas rather than conventional county ...

Volatile Organic Compounds in Rainwater: A New Frontier in Atmosphere–Biosphere Interactions
Abstract Rainwater is a key vector of atmospheric deposition, linking the atmosphere with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. While the inorganic chemistry of precipitation (dominated by sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, and trace metals) has been extensively studied, organic compounds in rainwater have received less attention, and Volatile Organic Compounds

ABSTRACT Urban infrastructure is fundamental to disaster risk reduction, yet resilience depends not only on infrastructure performance but also on how risks, essential services and adaptive capacities are distributed across urban territories. This study presents a scoping review of 497 peer‐reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science between
