Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2044-2055, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem‐based adaptation approach

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.
