Representation of the world's biophysical conditions by the global protected area network
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are often implemented without consideration of already existing PAs, which is likely to cause an overrepresentation of certain biophysical conditions. We assessed the representativeness of the current PA network with regard to the world's biophysical conditions to highlight which conditions are underprotected and where ...

Key n‐Gram Extractions and Analyses of Different Registers Based on Attention Network
Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Key n -gram extraction can be seen as extracting n‐grams which can distinguish different registers. Keyword (as n = 1, 1‐gram is the keyword) extraction models are generally carried out from two aspects, the feature extraction and the model design.

Devouring the Invaders: The Racial‐Ecological Politics of the Chinese Crayfish Trade in Kenya
American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 1, Page 183-194, March 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines entanglements of ecology, race, and foodways at Lake Naivasha in Kenya. Nonnative Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), first introduced to Kenya in the 1960s, were once viewed as invasive but are now sought after as a delicacy among Kenya's Chinese community.

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines the rise and collapse of the 2021 United Arab Emirates (UAE)–Israel–Jordan Water‐for‐Energy Deal, a landmark initiative that sought to exchange Jordanian solar energy for Israeli desalinated water. Presented as a breakthrough in regional cooperation and environmental peacebuilding, the agreement was brokered under the ...

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.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 362-380, September 2025.Occurrences of dust storms and long‐distance movement of dust across landscapes is constantly increasing in south Asia. This dust is expected to have profound impact on vegetation health and sustainability as dust may contribute to nutrient budgets of the forest ecosystems, while it could impart various stresses to the plants.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 294-311, December 2024.Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023 为探究黄河支流输沙量减少与流域内降雨量变化及水土保持措施的定量关系。以黄河中游皇甫川流域为研究区域,基于1960—2015年准格尔气象站日降水量、皇甫水文站年径流量和年输沙量数据,分析对皇甫川流域年径流量与年输沙量有影响的降雨量参数。通过双累积曲线法和突变点检验法确定输沙量变化的3个典型时期:Per1(1960—1986年)、Per2(1987—1999年)和Per3(2000—2015年);计算了降雨量变化、植被恢复和工程措施对该流域不同时期输沙量变化的贡献率。结果表明:(1)1960 ...
