Escalating Extreme River Discharge Events Driven by Precipitation Changes in the Yangtze River Basin

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Extreme river discharge events (ERDEs) directly induce catastrophic floods, posing severe threats to human life and infrastructure. Understanding the precipitation patterns that precede ERDEs is critical for identifying early flood warnings. This study investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics of 3‐hourly ERDEs across the Yangtze River ...

Hi‐C Links Reveal Viral Activity and Infection Within the Free‐Living Microbial Community of a Secondary Chlorophyll Maximum in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hi‐C sequencing was used to link viral sequences with microbial metagenome assembled genomes in the largely uncultivated waters of an oxygen‐deficient zone's secondary chlorophyll maximum within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean. ABSTRACT Oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs) influence global nitrogen cycling as key sites for the removal of bioavailable

A Dynamic Foraging Habitat Distribution Estimate for Green Turtles in the Great Barrier Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We develop telemetry‐based habitat models with boosted regression trees to identify the environmental characteristics underpinning foraging habitat suitability for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region. We then predict potentially suitable foraging areas for green turtles in the Great Barrier Reef region.

Pairing Spruce Budworm Control and Minimal Understory Perturbations: Effects of Btk Spraying Frequency in Boreal Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Spruce budworm epidemic induces tree mortality and modifies understory communities. Could aerial spraying of Btk reduce perturbations in understory communities? Biannual Btk spraying could prevent both wood loss and understory degradation. ABSTRACT Since 1985, more than 10 million hectares of Canadian forests have been treated against spruce budworm ...

Modelling the spatiotemporal dynamics of blue carbon stocks in tidal marsh under Spartina alterniflora invasion

Ecological Indicators
Spatial quantification of blue carbon ecosystem stocks is crucial for developing policies to mitigate climate change, especially in regions experiencing ongoing wetland disturbance from biological invasions. We integrated multiple machine learning models
