The need for ecocentrism in biodiversity conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1089-1096, October 2020., 2020 Abstract Over the past 5 decades, scientists have been documenting negative anthropogenic environmental change, expressing increasing alarm, and urging dramatic socioecological transformation in response. A host of international meetings have been held, but the erosion of biological diversity continues to accelerate.

Latin American Policy, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT In recent years, video assistant referee systems have been increasingly used to correct unfair decisions in sports. Similarly, I argue that constitutional referendums play a corrective role in hybrid or competitive authoritarian regimes, where the electoral referee is biased and the government enjoys unfair advantages.

Island restoration to rebuild seabird populations and amplify coral reef functioning
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems, but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradications and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrient transfers between ...

A case for stronger integration of physical landscape processes in conservation science and practice
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract I argue that the dynamic nature of contemporary, landscape‐shaping (geomorphic) processes deserves more consideration in conservation science and practice. In an analysis of a sample of fundamental terms related to geomorphology and area‐based conservation in the Web of Science, I found that the terms co‐occurred in <2% of the analyzed entries

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2002 重力侵蚀量是区域土壤侵蚀总量的重要组成部分,是土壤侵蚀量调查研究中不可忽视的重要内容之一。以云南金沙江流域为例,探讨了区域重力侵蚀量(包括侵蚀的岩土体物质总量和其中的土壤侵蚀量)的测算方法;根据该流域已有的滑坡(崩塌)、泥石流调查研究资料并结合典型调查,在确定各县重力侵蚀量测算参数的基础上,分别计算出各县及全流域的年均重力侵蚀物质总量和土壤侵蚀量,并分析了该流域重力侵蚀量的主要特点。
