This study reveals that Canada's tidal marshes are experiencing accelerating net losses despite appearing stable overall, a trend that persists even within protected areas and underscores the urgent need to supplement static spatial protections with dynamic, climate-adaptive management strategies.
This study utilizes a five-year ocean simulation to characterize the frequency, dynamics, and coastal connectivity impacts of cyclonic frontal eddies along the Agulhas Current, revealing their surface-intensified origin, distinct stationary and propagating behaviors, and critical role in influencing Marine Protected Areas along South Africa's east coast.
This study provides the first direct field evidence that applying basaltic rock powder to temperate soils triggers the rapid formation of non-crystalline secondary aluminosilicate phases, such as allophane-like spherules, within just seven months, underscoring the need to account for these pedogenic transformations when evaluating the effectiveness and soil impacts of enhanced rock weathering for carbon dioxide removal.
This study reports the first findings of *Rotularia leptostoma* and *Ditrupa strangulata* in Eocene deposits of central Iran, providing new insights into their microstructure, palaeoecology, and the marine currents linking Europe and North America during that period.
This study provides a new structural characterization of the Moreras Fault Zone in the Águilas Arc, revealing it as a distinct, approximately 10 km right-lateral oblique structure that terminates against the Peñas Blancas fault system and has experienced a marked decrease in tectonic activity since the Pliocene, consistent with a northward migration of deformation in the Eastern Betic Cordillera.
This paper describes the discovery of the oldest known spiral rotulariid serpulid, *Nogrobs (Tetralysis) zekkarensis* sp. nov., from the Pliensbachian/Toarcian boundary in Morocco, which prompted a systematic revision of fossil serpulids including the revival of the subgenus *Tetralysis*, the renaming of *Serpula rustica* to *Nogrobs (Tetraditrupa) folkestonensis*, and the establishment of the new genus *Annuloserpula*.
This study demonstrates that the presence and health of the critically endangered bamboo coral *Isidella elongata* in the Ionian Sea are significantly shaped by specific geomorphological features like pockmarks but severely compromised by cumulative bottom trawling, highlighting the urgent need for science-informed spatial protection to preserve these vulnerable marine ecosystems.
Systematic surveys in 2024 reveal that the Critically Endangered, Morocco-endemic dragonfly *Onychogomphus boudoti* has suffered a statistically significant 53–55% population decline in just two years due to the combined effects of severe drought and intensive livestock grazing, necessitating urgent integrated conservation measures to protect its remaining spring habitats.
This study utilizes advanced spatial econometric models on SAARC countries from 1990 to 2024 to demonstrate that carbon emissions exhibit significant spatial interdependence driven primarily by FDI, GDP, and urbanization, thereby supporting the pollution haven hypothesis and advocating for regional rather than national carbon abatement policies.
This study demonstrates that topographic resolution, lateral density variations, and geoid–quasigeoid separation formulations significantly influence terrain corrections and gravimetric geoid models in Taiwan's rugged terrain, with high-resolution data and refined formulations proving essential for achieving centimeter-level geoid accuracy.
