Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3504-3516, December 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition strongly affects litter decomposition and nutrient release, thereby reshaping carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Although most studies have focused on above‐ground litter, the effects of N addition on fine root decomposition and their ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007 应用GIS技术和景观结构分析软件Fragstats3.3对云南澜沧江流域1985年、2000年的景观类型转化及其景观格局对比分析.结果表明,旱地、有林地、灌木林地、疏林地、高覆盖草地、中覆盖草地间的相互转化较频繁;在景观尺度上,区域景观破碎化程度下降,斑块形状变得较规则、简单,斑块的聚集度、连接性变好,景观多样性和均匀性增加;人类活动对景观格局的有利与不利影响,使各景观要素的结构与格局变化存在较大的差异性,其中,有林地、灌木林地、高覆盖草地的景观格局与区域景观变化相一致,而疏林地、中覆盖草地、水田 ...

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007 以重要水源地东圳库区的法国SPOT-5影像图和土壤侵蚀强度图为源数据,运用GIS的信息管理、空间数据处理分析功能,以土地利用景观为研究对象,提取景观空间格局特征信息,选取景观格局分析指标,对土地利用景观空间格局进行定量化研究,寻求一定的规律,探讨景观格局和水土流失过程之间的关系以及人类活动对景观格局和生态过程的影响。研究表明：库区景观类型和生态系统分布不均;随着侵蚀级别的增加,多样性指数减小,优势明显,均匀度降低;库区的园地和耕地景观破碎程度较大,是造成水土流失的主要原因。

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023 针对喀斯特地区景观格局驱动水源涵养功能演变机制的相关研究较少,而水源涵养功能是岩溶石漠化治理等生态修复工程生态效益的关键指标之一,具有重要的研究意义。以地处西南喀斯特中心的野纪河流域为研究对象,基于InVEST模型、偏最小二乘模型(PLSR)、景观生态学理论等,探究野纪河流域2005—2020年水源涵养功能的时空分异特征及其与景观格局的耦合关系。结果表明:(1)野纪河流域景观类型以旱地、草地和灌木林等为主,各类型之间相互转化较为频繁,总体特征表现为旱地、灌木林和草地之间的转化以及建设用地对其余地类的挤占。

Eurovision Song Contest: From Apolitical to Mega‐Political?
Politics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT In the realm of a changing geopolitical landscape and the concomitant politicization of culture, this article focuses on how shifts in political orders within the broader context affect and politicize a cultural party. The study draws inspiration from the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) and how the 2024 edition of the contest underscored, more ...
