Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Drift design methodology and preliminary application for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1991 Excavation stability in an underground nuclear waste repository is required during construction, emplacement, retrieval (if required), and closure phases to ensure worker health and safety, and to prevent development of potential pathways for radionuclide migration in the post-closure period.

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite enduring decades of advocacy, Alevi communities in Türkiye find themselves in a constant state of anticipation for acknowledgment from the Turkish state. Previous studies have long documented the marginalized status of Alevis within Turkish society and their ongoing struggle for recognition; however, they have overwhelmingly framed the

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,

Reflections for Biodiversity Researchers Engaging With Policy‐Science Interfaces
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Researchers who wish to engage in policy processes to help address the biodiversity crisis are often hindered by fear of the potential drawbacks to doing so. The complexity of political systems, the necessity to interact with policymakers or politicians outside of the work environment, the potential professional risks that may arise from ...

Preliminary mapping of surficial geology of Midway Valley Yucca Mountain Project, Nye County, Nevada; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1992 The tectonics program for the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain in southwestern Nevada must evaluate the potential for surface faulting beneath the prospective surface facilities. To help meet this goal, Quaternary surficial mapping studies and photolineament analyses were conducted to provide data for evaluating the ...

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Many policy issues, such as nuclear waste management, are complex and require expertise to address. In many such policy areas, decisions are made by elected officials with input largely from experts and not the public or other stakeholders. However, such top‐down approaches can create mistrust and political opposition.

Fracture analysis and rock quality designation estimation for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project [PDF]
, 1993 Within the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project, the design of drifts and ramps and evaluation of the impacts of thermomechanical loading of the host rock requires definition of the rock mass mechanical properties. Ramps and exploratory drifts will intersect both welded and nonwelded tuffs with varying abundance of fractures.
