Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and ...

How percentage‐protected targets can support positive biodiversity outcomes

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Global targets for the percentage area of land protected, such as 30% by 2030, have gained increasing prominence, but both their scientific basis and likely effectiveness have been questioned. As with emissions‐reduction targets based on desired climate outcomes, percentage‐protected targets combine values and science by estimating the area ...

Catalyzing sustainable fisheries management through behavior change interventions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1176-1189, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Small‐scale fisheries are an important livelihood and primary protein source for coastal communities in many of the poorest regions in the world, yet many are overfished and thus require effective and scalable management solutions. Positive ecological and socioeconomic responses to management typically lag behind immediate costs borne by ...

Human–wildlife coexistence in a changing world

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 786-794, August 2020., 2020
Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is a key topic in conservation and agricultural research. Decision makers need evidence‐based information to design sustainable management plans and policy instruments. However, providing objective decision support can be challenging because realities and perceptions of human–wildlife interactions vary widely ...

生态治理技术适宜性评价影响因素及概念模型——以沙漠化治理技术为例 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
生态系统退化已是全球的主要环境问题,旨在恢复和重建生态系统的生态治理技术受到重视。在众多直接、间接的技术中,如何遴选最适宜的技术,目前仍缺乏系统、科学、完善的评价方法。根据对其他领域中有关技术评价理论、方法、要素等的梳理,以沙漠化治理技术涉及的多个影响因素为例,首次提出一般性生态治理技术适宜性评价概念模型——"双圈十二维"模型,包括两类十二个维度:(1)内生因素(内圈):限制性、独立性、经济性、可操作性;(2)外部因素(外圈):目标、地域、时效、政治政策制度 ...

水土保持措施对密云板栗林坡面产流产沙的影响

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023
以北京市密云板栗林为研究对象,设置植物措施、工程措施和植物+工程措施处理(裸地作为对照)分析不同水土保持单一措施及其组合措施对坡面产流产沙及水沙关系的影响,以期为密云区板栗林水土保持措施的制定提供科学依据。结果表明:植物措施方面,卷柏处理的减流率和减沙率分别为62.8%,88.3%,减流减沙效果优于椰丝毯、狗牙根和结缕草处理;工程措施方面,水平阶处理的减流率和减沙率分别为83.2%,92.9%,减流减沙效果优于鱼鳞坑处理;组合措施方面,水平阶+卷柏处理的减流率和减沙率分别为86.7%,96.1 ...
