Robust metrics for quantifying and comparing resistance and recovery in experimental studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 6-14, January 2026.Abstract Various indices have been developed to experimentally quantify resistance and recovery (two components of engineering resilience) in response to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This diversity complicates the selection of appropriate metrics for comparing resilience across ecosystems and studies.

Studies on Changes in Atmospheric Greenhouse Gas Fluxes from Soils of Kandelia obovata Mangrove Forests with the Development of Restored Vegetation in Jiulong River Estuary [PDF]
, 2014 选取福建九龙江口南岸浮宫镇霞郭村秋茄红树林研究断面，研究夏季白天的一个潮汐周期内未被潮水浸没时红树林土壤3种温室气体（N2O、CH4和CO2）通量变化情况，探究滩位和潮汐日变化对该地区红树林土壤大气界面温室气体通量的影响。在此基础上，以光滩为对照和恢复的起点，再选取26年生和50年生的人工秋茄红树林以及天然成熟林代表不同恢复阶段，探讨不同植被恢复阶段红树林土壤-大气界面这3种温室气体通量随植被恢复时间的关系，并分析植被恢复导致的土壤环境变化对温室气体通量的影响，为人工红树林的功能恢复提供参考依据 ...

Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) of Elton posits that diverse communities are more resistant to biological invasions. While the effects of climatic stresses and human disturbances on community invasibility have been extensively studied individually, their combined

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.
