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 ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

黑龙江省西部半干旱区土壤水分空间变异性研究

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007
土壤中的水分是影响半干旱区作物生长的重要因素,由于自身的特点决定了其在空间分布上存在着变异性。以黑龙江省西部半干旱农业气候区的查哈阳农场为研究对象,利用GS 地统计软件和ArcGIS中的地统计分析模块(Geostatistical Analyst),对该地区土壤水分特性的空间变异性进行分析,得出土壤水分特性的变异程度、影响因素以及空间分布图。借助于土壤水分特性的空间分布图对该地区的灌溉水量进行了分析,为该地区的合理灌溉和精确灌溉提供依据。

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

A Study on the spatial distribution of religious sites in Qinghai province and the impact on tourism(青海省宗教场所旅游资源的空间格局及影响因素研究)

Zhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2018
青海省宗教发展历史悠久，宗教旅游资源丰富，宗教场所的空间分布特征对青海省区域旅游格局有重要影响.对青海省宗教场所旅游资源进行了统计，分别从空间分布模式、差异性、密度等方面采用最邻近指数、地理集中指数、洛伦茨曲线、核密度方法对其空间格局特征进行了定量分析，并利用空间回归分析法探讨了其分布与海拔、坡度、交通、水系等因素的关系.结果表明：青海省宗教场所旅游资源呈“东多西少”的集聚分布态势，空间差异显著，旅游资源集中在青海省11%地区；空间分布密度呈由东向西辐射（型）的分布趋势；空间回归分析结果显示，在地势平坦、

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.
