Attributing Urban Evapotranspiration From Eddy‐Covariance to Surface Cover: Bottom‐Up Versus Top‐Down
Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important process in the water cycle that can help reduce heat stress in cities. However, it is dependent on surface cover. The study provides insights that can inform urban planning and water management decisions, including improving the living environment of city dwellers.

Cigarette butts enable toxigenic cyanobacteria growth by inhibiting their lethal fungal infections
Many freshwater ecosystems contain significant amounts of nicotine and other chemicals from cigarette butts that are toxic to aquatic life. This study shows that some organisms may benefit indirectly: toxic cyanobacteria. This is because cigarette butts in the water harm their parasites by inhibiting infection by chytrid fungi. This promotes the growth of the cyanobacteria.
Hydropower impacts on riverine biodiversity
The authors discuss the impacts of hydropower on aquatic and semi-aquatic species and how the impacts accumulate spatially and temporally across basins. They recommend the STREAM framework: Systematic planning, Tracking hydropower impacts, Responsive adaptive management strategies, Elimination of hydropower infrastructure, Assessment of socioecological trade-offs, and Multi-actor decision-making.
