A large-scale survey of 216 wallum wetlands following the 2019–2020 Black Summer bushfires reveals that while most native fish and frog species are broadly resilient to severe fire due to long-term adaptation, their population persistence remains threatened by the compounding effects of hydrologic variability, invasive cane toads, and pre-fire drying.
This paper presents a physics-based monitoring framework that successfully explains global surface temperature variations using Earth's energy imbalance and El Niño-driven subsurface heat release, while projecting that a strong 1997/98-class El Niño could cause the 2023/24 record to be exceeded by 0.33 K.
This paper introduces a daily Peat Moisture Code (PMC) that utilizes a water balance model with minimal data requirements to monitor peatland moisture levels and predict fire danger, serving as the methodological foundation for the next-generation Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System.
This study demonstrates that atmospheric transport of methane from Shanxi's dense coal mining region systematically biases satellite-based emission estimates by underestimating fossil sources and overestimating agricultural sources, necessitating a new diagnostic framework to correct these transboundary attribution errors for effective global methane mitigation.
This perspective article argues that despite the intense 2026 El Niño warming in Ecuador, historical and instrumental data show the event remains within the known range of climate variability, thereby rejecting the need for sensationalized terms like "Mega Niño" in favor of NOAA's official intensity classifications.
This study presents the first district-level spatial assessment in Nepal that integrates multi-hazard climate exposure with livestock-specific social vulnerability, revealing that compound risk is concentrated in the far-western and mid-hill districts where moderate hazard intensity intersects with deep structural vulnerability, thereby providing a validated evidence base for livestock-inclusive anticipatory action and disaster preparedness.
This study provides robust causal evidence that Nepal's decentralised Community Forestry programme significantly improved child nutrition by reducing socioeconomic deprivation, preventing tens of thousands of stunting and underweight cases annually and demonstrating the potential for environmental governance to deliver long-term co-benefits for both people and nature.
This study develops a seasonal CLEWs model for Ethiopia to demonstrate that ignoring seasonal hydrological variability in integrated resource planning significantly overestimates renewable water availability, thereby leading to suboptimal agricultural adaptation strategies under climate change scenarios.
This study demonstrates that the mangrove macroalga *Bostrychia radicans* exhibits varying susceptibility to cadmium toxicity based on its origin and dosage, confirming its potential as a bioindicator for Cd pollution through changes in photosynthetic parameters and pigment content.
This study applies a multi-taxon Community Dynamics Index to Korean stream biomonitoring data from 2011 to 2023, revealing that diatoms, macroinvertebrates, and fish exhibit significantly decoupled biological responses to environmental changes rather than synchronized ecosystem-wide reorganization.
