Ecological Restoration of a Cultivated Wetland to Enhance Nitrogen Retention in a Rapidly Developing Watershed

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For much of the coastal United States, water quality continues to worsen due to excess nitrogen (N) from agricultural production and urban development. Restoration of freshwater wetlands, especially those connected to streams (i.e., fluvial wetlands), is a promising management option for curtailing watershed inputs of N to coastal embayments ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2675-2712, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing
