Return of the ants: investigating temporal and spatial patterns of ant colonization in unsealed schoolyards

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urban soil unsealing, the removal of impervious surface layers, is increasingly promoted as a habitat restoration strategy to enhance ecosystem resilience in cities. Yet, its potential to support soil biodiversity from the onset remains underexplored.

Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis

open access: yesReview of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.

Evolution Model for the Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Mudstone‐Hosted Ni‐Zn‐Cu‐Co Deposit in Fennoscandia

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

open access: yesRemediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Spatiotemporal changes in soil chemical properties when cover crops are integrated into raised, stale seedbed corn production systems

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Commercial row crop production in the midsouthern United States is characterized by extensive application of inorganic soil inputs and management practices that contribute to degraded soil health. This study was conducted to determine if cover crops affect spatial or temporal changes in soil chemical properties in a raised, stale seedbed ...
