Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Study on Geochemistry of Nutrient and Nutrient Criteria in Jiulong Estuary [PDF]
, 2015 由于大量的人为输入河口的营养盐（特别是氮和磷），近海富营养化区域逐渐扩大。河口和近海水体的富营养化已经引起了全世界的广泛关注。水体富营养化对环境造成很多影响，比如水质恶化、赤潮爆发、生态系统结构改变、低氧和死亡区的出现以及大量的经济损失。研究河口营养盐循环，并建立合理的营养盐基准值保护河口及沿海水体的措施刻不容缓。 本研究融合多学科知识，对不同季节的九龙江河口地区进行了多个航次的现场采样和同位素培养，运用GIS技术并收集整理历史数据，揭示了九龙江河口营养盐时空变化、内部迁移转化过程以及水体营养盐浓度 ...
