Blöschl (2026) Five principles for hydrology in the era of managed waters
This perspective article proposes five guiding principles for the field of hydrology to adapt to the "era of managed waters," arguing that the discipline must shift toward learning from patterns to understand processes across multiple scales.

Wu et al. (2026) Wind stilling shapes grassland water use efficiency by enhancing soil moisture retention
This study demonstrates that declining wind speeds enhance the ecosystem water use efficiency ($\text{WUE}_{\text{eco}}$) of global grasslands by reducing evaporative water loss and increasing carbon uptake.

Green et al. (2026) Vegetation responses to air dryness amplify future land surface warming
The study finds that canopy temperature is projected to increase significantly more than air temperature over the 21st century due to rising air dryness, implying that current Earth System Models (ESMs) underestimate future constraints on vegetation growth and the land carbon sink.

Yang et al. (2026) Efficient spectral-temporal reconstruction of long-term satellite time series via temporal segments and mask-informed embedding
The paper proposes the Mask-informed Spectral-temporal Transformer (MISTR), a framework designed to reconstruct missing values in long-term satellite time series (STS) by utilizing mask-informed embeddings and adaptive spectral-temporal blocks.

Lu et al. (2026) Divergent Trends and Driving Factors in Meteorological Flash Droughts Across China's Humid and Arid Regions
This study analyzes the spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of meteorological flash droughts (MFDs) in China from 1980 to 2024, revealing that humid regions are experiencing increasing frequency and accelerated onset despite an overall national decline in MFD frequency.

Bo et al. (2026) Spatially explicit estimation of high-resolution irrigation water use across China using earth observation data and deep learning
The study developed a physically guided deep learning framework integrating Earth observation data and water balance modeling to estimate high-resolution (500 m) irrigation water use (IWU) across China from 2004 to 2019.

Zhou et al. (2026) Global solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence reconstruction crossing three platforms
The study develops a harmonized global daily solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) product (HSIF) for the period 2003–2023 by integrating data from three satellite platforms using CDF matching and machine learning.
