Multi-decadal footprint stability and hydro-thermal forcing anomalies of the Siachen Glacier system (2018–2025): a combined cross-sensor and ERA5-Land reanalysis evaluation

This study utilizes a multi-sensor remote sensing and reanalysis framework to demonstrate that the Siachen Glacier system maintained relative footprint stability consistent with the Karakoram Anomaly between 2018 and 2025, while successfully identifying discrete short-term hydro-thermal forcing anomalies.

Impacts of Climate Variability on Inland and Coastal Fish Diversity of Bangladesh: A Systematic Review

This systematic review synthesizes evidence demonstrating that climate variability, acting in concert with anthropogenic pressures, is significantly threatening Bangladesh's inland and coastal fish diversity by altering habitats and disrupting ecological processes, while highlighting critical knowledge gaps regarding less-studied migratory species and the urgent need for integrated, climate-resilient management strategies.

Datasets of egg parameters of long-lived bird species, the white stork Ciconia ciconia

This paper presents two comprehensive, standardized datasets of white stork egg parameters—including morphology, shell thickness, and chemical composition—collected across multiple European and North African sites to facilitate research on spatial and temporal variations in reproductive traits and environmental exposure.

Disease Regulation as a Missing Ecosystem Service in Restoration Planning

This study challenges the assumption that ecosystem restoration uniformly reduces zoonotic disease risk by demonstrating through simulations that vector-borne diseases often experience transitional risk amplification during partial recovery, thereby highlighting the critical need to integrate disease-specific surveillance and sustained funding into restoration planning to secure health co-benefits.

Hydrological Seasonality Shapes the Composition and Source Signatures of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Dongjiang River Basin

This study reveals that hydrological seasonality in the Dongjiang River Basin drives distinct shifts in dissolved organic matter composition and sources, where wet-season runoff and microbial activity enrich autochthonous components while dry-season reduced dilution amplifies industrial pollution signatures, with specific fluorescent components serving as seasonal indicators for non-point and point-source inputs respectively.
