This study in eastern Amazonia reveals that while six-year-old *Mimosa caesalpiniifolia* improved fallows significantly alter soil arthropod communities by reducing the abundance of surface Hymenoptera and Araneae compared to spontaneous secondary forests, subsequent nutrient management during rice cultivation has only weak effects on these invertebrate populations.

Climate induced migration due to Loss and Damage and trafficking vulnerability among haor communities in Northeastern Bangladesh

This study employs a mixed-methods approach in northeastern Bangladesh to demonstrate that climate-induced loss and damage, rather than pre-existing poverty, is the primary driver of displacement in haor communities, which subsequently precipitates a sharp rise in extreme poverty and significantly increases vulnerability to human trafficking through deceptive recruitment, debt bondage, and child marriage.

A critical review of frameworks, gaps and prospects for urban climate resilience research in the Global South

This study critiques the conceptual fragmentation and decision-orientation gaps in Global South urban climate resilience research through a PRISMA-guided review of 71 publications, identifying structural flaws like technocratic reductionism and the marginalization of local knowledge, while proposing a reconceptualized, ethically charged framework with specific governance levers and decision metrics to enable more actionable and equitable adaptive performance.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole, and Local Sea-Surface Temperature Forcing of Humid-Heat Extremes in the Arabian Peninsula

This study employs a Bayesian peaks-over-threshold framework to demonstrate that humid-heat extremes in the Arabian Peninsula are driven by a nonlinear combination of local sea-surface warming and remote climate variability, particularly La Niña events which can nearly quadruple the likelihood of dangerous wet-bulb temperature exceedances in populous coastal cities.

Spatiotemporal Evolution and Uncertainty Analysis of Soil Acidification at the County Scale

This study reconstructs a continuous spatiotemporal soil pH dataset for Zigui County, China, from 2006 to 2024 and employs the Stochastic Site Indicators method to quantify the occurrence probability, variation intensity, and spatial uncertainty of soil acidification, thereby establishing a framework for regional risk assessment and precision agricultural management.

Spatiotemporal Evaluation of Rainfall and Drought Patterns Across Homogeneous Rainfall Regions of Ethiopia

This study utilizes the CHIRPS dataset to analyze rainfall and drought patterns across eight homogeneous rainfall zones in Ethiopia from 1981 to 2023, revealing significant spatial and temporal variations characterized by increasing drought frequency and intensity, particularly in the north and southeast, alongside divergent trends between the FMAM and JJAS seasons.

Integrated Spatial and Probabilistic Human Health Risk Assessment of Heavy-Metal Contamination in Canal Waters of Semi-Arid Region, India

This study assesses the spatial distribution and human health risks of heavy metals in canal waters across semi-arid India, revealing that while overall carcinogenic risks are acceptable, localized hotspots and elevated noncarcinogenic risks for children necessitate continuous monitoring and improved management strategies to support sustainable development goals.

Extreme warming and drought impair survival, physiological activity and adaptive root growth in Pinus densiflora seedlings

While *Pinus densiflora* seedlings exhibit physiological resilience and adaptive root growth under individual extreme warming or drought, the combination of these stressors severely impairs survival and suppresses compensatory belowground responses, thereby increasing vulnerability to future climate change.
