Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

生态承载力与生态系统生产总值耦合的生态系统服务评估—以福建省长汀县为例

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2021
生态系统质量是区域探索生态优先、绿色发展为导向的高质量发展的重要基础。开展区域生态系统服务评估可获取国土空间生态本底特征，为生态系统保护格局构建提供现状底图，明确生态系统修复重点、国土空间优化提供导向。以长汀县为例，基于地区生态典型性、区域生物量差异及公众支付意愿与能力构建特色评价指标，采用生态承载力与生态系统生产总值耦合研究方法，对长汀县生态系统服务进行县域、镇域、村域及系统斑块等多尺度评估。结果表明：长汀县生态系统服务等级空间分布符合区划规律，大致呈中间低、四周高的特征；尺度细化使结果分布异质性更强，

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

北京市生态用水的计算

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2002
研究建立了北京市生态分区体系,即以区域自然地理为背景的一级生态区,以反映径流形成生态景观作用的二级生态区,以县域土地利用为依据的三级生态区;确定了北京市三级生态分区与对应各种生态用水类型;得到了全市现状生态用水量为39.83×108m3,其中一级生态区,山区生态用水量为21.88×108m3,平原区生态用水量为17.95×108m3;全市各二级生态区,即各河流流域现状生态用水量;全市各3级生态区,即各县(区)现状生态用水量,并得到各生态分区各种不同类型生态用水量值。

The niche of dominant populations in evergreen broad-leaved forests of Zhejiang Province(浙江省自然保护区常绿阔叶林优势种群的生态位特征)

Zhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2014
以样方法对不同资源位群落进行调查，通过计算群落的生态位宽度、生态位相似性比例和生态位重叠值，分析浙江省7个自然保护区18个常绿阔叶林的12个优势种的生态位特征，探讨了各优势种群在次生林和原生林中生态位宽度、相似性和重叠的差异，比较了乔木树种与小乔木或灌木生态位宽度的差异.结果表明：(1)浙江省各保护区的常绿阔叶林多以木荷或甜槠为建群种或共优种，具有典型的中亚热带常绿阔叶林生态位相似性比例高的特点，且生态位重叠程度较低；(2)次生林中各种群的生态位宽度明显高于原生林 ...

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Assessing and strengthening community‐based coastal governance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐based coastal governance is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, yet many communities continue to face significant challenges in establishing and sustaining effective governance systems. We sought to improve understanding of the current status of community‐based coastal governance across five countries

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...
