Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

open access: yesConservation 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

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Complementary Capacities and Shared Challenges: Lessons From a Brazil‐Australia Water Management Consortium

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Transnational collaboration is critical for water‐security innovation, yet actor configurations and thematic priorities remain poorly characterized. We surveyed 92 Australian and Brazilian researchers from the Tropical Water Research Alliance (TWRA), analyzing 11 sets of binary variables on collaboration modes, stakeholders, implementation ...

Nitrogen deposition does not exacerbate phosphorus limitation of rhizosphere microbes in subalpine forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1428-1442, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric imbalance caused by nitrogen (N) deposition typically exacerbates phosphorus (P) limitation in plants. However, it remains unclear whether this effect extends to soil microbes, particularly those in the rhizosphere.

土地生态服务价值评价及其在土地利用布局中的应用--以杭州市萧山区为例

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2006
土地是一切陆地生态系统的载体,人类的任何经济社会活动都离不开土地;另一方面,人类的土地利用活动也会影响生态系统.从而会影响其生态服务价值。对杭州市萧山区近年来土地利用的生态服务价值及生态服务价值/GDP值的时空分布进行了研究.结果表明:1999~2004年萧山区土地利用的生态服务价值处于增长趋势,但与GDP比值却处于下降趋势;萧山区土地利用生态服务功能价值/GDP值“中间低两端高”的空间分布特点。根据萧山区生态服务价值时空分布特点,将萧山区划分为4个土地利用区,即城区土地利用区、东部土地利用区 ...

Understanding the Link Between Policy Design and Distributional Impacts of Local Wind Energy Ordinances

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoning is one of the most widely used land use regulations in the U.S. An increasing number of local governments have adopted zoning ordinances to regulate renewable energy projects. However, there has been very limited research on the impact of this local regulatory tool.

风沙过渡区土地利用变化及其驱动因素分析--以陕北榆阳区为例

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2006
在GIS技术的支持下,依据土地利用动态度模型、区域差异模型和土地利用程度模型,全面分析了榆林市榆阳区1988~2001年土地利用的时空变化,并对土地利用变化的驱动因素进行了详尽分析。结果表明:林地、园地、耕地、居民点及工矿用地、交通用地均呈增长趋势,未利用地、牧草地和水域星减少趋势113年来,榆阳区土地利用变化速度较快,年变化率为0.45%。大于榆林市的土地利用变化速度;榆阳区土地利用变化存在着显著的区域差异;榆阳区土地利用处于发展期,并在榆林市的土地利用变化中发展较快。榆阳区土地利用变化过程中 ...
