Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although several environmental challenges exist globally, land degradation is the greatest threat and risk factor wedging human livelihoods. Despite widespread awareness of climate change, little empirical evidence exists on land degradation and its impacts on livelihoods in semi‐arid agroecological systems.

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities
Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios allow the reconstruction of food webs, provided that all trophic levels are properly characterized. In freshwater ecosystems, small‐bodied invertebrates often occupy central positions in food webs, with whole‐body samples commonly used for their stable isotope analysis, due to ...

Sustainable Metal Recovery From E‐Waste: Exploring Greener Leachates in Hydrometallurgical Processes
MetalMat, EarlyView.Recycling of electronic waste to synthesize valuable metals using green leachate. ABSTRACT The accumulation of electronic waste (e‐waste) poses environmental hazards and leads to the loss of valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements.

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent
