FAR‐sighted conservation

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Conservation targets that reference historical expectations, such as maintaining specified areas of intact ecosystems, restoring degraded ones or maintaining the historic distributions of species, may not be realistic in the context of ongoing ...

Areas of Outstanding Nineteenth Century Beauty: Historic landscape characterisation analysis of protected areas in England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2023
Establishing and expanding protected areas (PAs) has become a key conservation tool in efforts to halt global declines in biodiversity. Given the ubiquity of past and present human influence, PAs inevitably include landscapes and seascapes with varying ...

Reduced effective radiative forcing from cloud–aerosol interactions (ERFaci) with improved treatment of early aerosol growth in an Earth system model [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Historically, aerosols of anthropogenic origin have offset some of the warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The strength of this negative aerosol forcing, however, is highly uncertain – especially the part originating from ...

Building a Practical Multi-Sensor Platform for Monitoring Vessel Activity near Marine Protected Areas: Case Studies from Urban and Remote Locations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Monitoring vessel activity is an important part of managing marine protected areas (MPAs), but small-scale fishing and recreational vessels that do not participate in cooperative vessel traffic systems require additional monitoring strategies.

Trajectories of freshwater microbial genomics and greenhouse gas saturation upon glacial retreat

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Due to climate warming, ice sheets around the world are losing mass, contributing to changes across terrestrial landscapes on decadal time spans. However, landscape repercussions on climate are poorly constrained mostly due to limited knowledge on ...

Translating area-based conservation pledges into efficient biodiversity protection outcomes

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Cunningham et al. comment on the U.K.’s commitment to protect 30% of land by 2030, by identifying priority landscapes for expansion of the current protected area network in the UK using 445 priority species ranges across the country, under two baseline ...

Perceptions, preferences and barriers: A qualitative study of greenspace and under‐representation in Leeds, UK

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2023
Greenspaces facilitate well‐being benefits for humans in several ways including through cognitive restoration, physical exercise and social interaction. However, some groups are under‐represented in greenspaces, including women, older people, those with ...

Catchment properties as predictors of greenhouse gas concentrations across a gradient of boreal lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Boreal lakes are the most abundant lakes on Earth. Changes in acid rain deposition, climate, and catchment land use have increased lateral fluxes of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM), resulting in a widespread browning of boreal freshwaters ...

Drivers and variability of CO2:O2 saturation along a gradient from boreal to Arctic lakes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Lakes are significant players for the global climate since they sequester terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and emit greenhouse gases like CO2 to the atmosphere.
