Forestry in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Science, 2015 Human activity has had enormous effects on the species composition of floras and faunas, creating new ecological biomes worldwide. A principal challenge in forestry research and conservation is how to deal with these novel ecosystems. Most attention to this phenomenon is centered on the negative effects of species introductions and the need to stem the

Does polymixis complicate prediction of high‐frequency dissolved oxygen in lakes and reservoirs?
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract As lake and reservoir ecosystems transition across major environmental regimes (e.g., mixing regime) resulting from anthropogenic change, setting predictive expectations is imperative. We tested the hypothesis that (dissolved) oxygen is more predictable in monomictic reservoirs that thermally stratify throughout the summer (warm) season ...

Area, EarlyView., 2022 This article uses examples from practice‐led‐research to explore the tensions between rewilding and the gendered embodied knowledge of upland farmers in an area of Wales, UK called the Cambrian Mountains. This paper argues that within the context of the polarising ideas of rewilding, sensitivity and the need to listen to the embodied, situated ...

Geological Heritage of the Anthropocene Epoch—A Conceptual Viewpoint
Heritage, 2019 The growth of interest in the Anthropocene has coincided with the rise of geoheritage research and these ideas seem to be mutually enriching. However, very few previous investigations were devoted to the Anthropocene geoheritage. The conceptual treatment

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.Abstract Worldwide river deltas are impacted by human activities and climatic change, but it has been challenging to quantify their contributions due to nonlinear natural processes and a lack of long‐term geomorphological data. Time‐series bathymetric data were collected at submarine Hengsha Shoal in the Yangtze Delta during 11 repeat surveys over 60 ...

Rewilding: An emotional nature
Area, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Rewilding is an emotional subject. It inspires passions and argument in spades. As a form of conservation, rewilding offers exciting possibilities to address ecological crises but it is also a threat for many people, leading to dispute and impasse.

The plant microbiota signature of the Anthropocene as a challenge for microbiome research
Microbiome, 2022 One promise of the recently presented microbiome definition suggested that, in combination with unifying concepts and standards, microbiome research could be important for solving new challenges associated with anthropogenic-driven changes in various ...

Science, 2015 In their Perspective “Defining the epoch we live in” (3 April, p. [38][1]), W. F. Ruddiman et al. write that in spite of its popularity, the Anthropocene still lacks an official onset. They propose that the term anthropocene be used informally (without the initial capital), which would avoid ...

Using the diel cycle of ocean microbes to better understand their biogeochemical functions
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.Abstract The daily cycle of solar radiation has a profound influence in structuring the physiology of microbes in the euphotic zone and subsequently setting the degree of coupling across trophic levels within ocean ecosystems. There has been an upsurge of interest in the biological role of the diel cycle and the ability to probe it using molecular ...
