Rapid assessment of insect pollination services to inform decision-making. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Pollinator declines have prompted efforts to assess how land‐use change affects insect pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Yet many tools to measure insect pollination services require substantial landscape‐scale data and technical expertise.

Landscape-scale predictions of future grassland conversion to cropland or development. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Grassland conservation planning often focuses on high‐risk landscapes, but many grassland conversion models are not designed to optimize conservation planning because they lack multidimensional risk assessments and are misaligned with ecological and conservation delivery scales.

Global justice and the opportunity costs of conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Opportunity costs can represent a significant portion of the costs associated with conservation projects and frequently outstrip other kinds of cost. They are typically understood to refer to the benefits someone would have obtained if conservation projects had not required them to give up current activities, such as farming or hunting or if ...

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...

Effects of Shifting Cultivation on the Western Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) in Western Myanmar 刀耕火种对缅甸西部西部白眉长臂猿 (Hoolock hoolock) 的影响摘要

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 503-513, September 2025.
Fire occurrence increased with proximity to roads and villages, indicating that human access and activity are major drivers of fire risk. We analyzed spatial patterns of fire in relation to human settlements. Our findings highlight the need for fire management strategies that consider accessibility and human presence in conservation planning.

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition

Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 830-861, May 2025.
Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

连续14年黑土坡耕地秸秆覆盖免耕水土保持效应

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2022
为探究长期秸秆覆盖免耕对黑土坡耕地土壤结构的影响以及水土保持效应,通过秸秆覆盖免耕(NT)和传统顺坡耕作(CT)2组长期定位田间试验,对土壤结构、土壤保水能力、保土效应作对比分析。结果表明:NT与CT相应性状比较,土壤容重没有显著增加(P＞0.05),在0—20 cm土层,虽总孔隙度和非毛管孔隙度低,但增加了土壤毛管孔隙度和水稳性大团聚体(WR0.25)含量,WR0.25含量和平均重量直径(MWD)差异均达到显著水平(P＜0.05);分别提高了垄台土壤初始入渗和稳定入渗速率28.8%,24.7%;0 ...
