Soil health index finds restored mangroves can near full function

Phys.org: Earth science - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 20:00

Brazilian researchers have developed an index that can measure the health of mangrove soils at different stages. When applied to degraded, restored, and preserved areas, the index revealed that healthy mangroves, including recovered ones, provide ecosystem services at nearly maximum capacity. In contrast, deforested mangroves have only a small fraction of this potential.

Glacial lakes in Alaska are expanding rapidly and could quadruple in size

Phys.org: Earth science - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 15:20

Alaska's glacial lakes are growing faster than in previous decades. They expanded by more than 150 square kilometers between 2018 and 2024, and could eventually grow to more than four times their current size as glaciers retreat, according to a new study published in the journal PNAS.

Subglacial weathering may have slowed planet's escape from snowball Earth

Phys.org: Earth science - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 14:00

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical geochemical models, the team showed that chemical weathering may have continued beneath thick continental ice sheets during the snowball Earth event, consuming atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and potentially prolonging global glaciation.

Collisionless ion-electron energy exchange in magnetized shocks

Physical Review E (Plasma physics) - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 10:00

Author(s): Y. Zhang, P. V. Heuer, H. Wen, J. R. Davies, C. Ren, D. B. Schaeffer, E. G. Blackman, J. Zhang, A. Bret, and F. García-Rubio

Energy partition between ions and electrons in collisionless shocks has been a long-standing unsolved fundamental physical question. We show that kinetic simulations of moderate Alfvénic Mach number, magnetized, collisionless shocks reveal rapid, faster-than-Coulomb, energy exchange between ions and…
