Enabling pastoralist management of rangelands to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Rangelands cover 54% of the global terrestrial area and are threatened by land conversion and degradation, which erodes their global value and weakens the livelihoods of pastoralists who manage them. Sustainable Development Goal Target 15.3 on Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) provides a framework for sustainable rangelands management, but countries ...

Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Thermochronologic Constraints on the Extensional History of the Ibex Hills, Southeastern Black Mountains, Death Valley, California

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
A. Modeled T‐t paths for samples in the northern Ibex Hills, showing steady cooling throughout much of the Cenozoic, until rapid Miocene cooling. B. Weighted mean paths for each sample in this study. Note that all show a rapid cooling event at or just after 10 Ma, which is interpreted to represent exhumation as a result of regional extenstion ...

Late summer plateau pika spatial habitat use revealed by high‐resolution wildlife tracking and unmanned aerial vehicle data on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Tiny “ecosystem engineers,” plateau pikas range across 1600 m², about two basketball courts, mixing soil and nutrients that sustain Tibet's fragile grasslands. Custom‐made trackers and drone imagery show dawn‐to‐dusk surface foraging and nested‐scale patch choices, offering fresh guidance for wildlife‐friendly grazing management.
