Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

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).

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study developed a metal–modified fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) organic coating on 6061 aluminum alloy, supported by a micro‐arc oxidation (MAO) pretreatment layer, to enhance corrosion resistance and antifouling performance in marine environments.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2128-2142, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2005 在野外条件下测定了不同林龄小叶锦鸡儿人工固沙灌丛区生长季节土壤水分动态和蒸散量变化。结果表明:不同林龄灌丛区土壤水分状态和蒸散量存在明显差异,土壤水分含量随着植被林龄增加而降低,16年生、19年生灌丛区土壤含水量随着深度增加呈下降趋势,在70cm深度产生低含水区,土壤转变为非淋溶性土壤;生长季土壤水分受降水和植被双重影响,在6月期间含水量最低;生长季节蒸散量随着植被林龄增加而增大,以19年生灌丛区最高,所有灌丛区生长季节蒸散量均低于同期降水量,占同期降水量的95%以上 ...
