Investigating conservation performance payments alongside human–wildlife conflicts: The Swedish lynx and wolverine protection policies

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: Spread sequence

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We investigate spread evolution by mesoscale convection from tiny initial condition uncertainty during a real event. There is significant variation among the systems in their propensity to interact with the jet stream, whereby variability in one system (due to convective and long‐wave radiative heating tendencies) tightly relates to Rossby‐like ...

UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine high‐resolution vegetation structural metrics derived from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with on‐field wader nest survival monitoring. We show that the immediate vegetation height and heterogeneity within a 2‐meter buffer surrounding the clutch of the recorded ground‐nesting wader species positively influenced its ...

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

In Search of a Field-Based Relationship Between Benthic Macrofauna and Biogeochemistry in a Modern Brackish Coastal Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
During several cruises in the southern Baltic Sea conducted in different seasons from 2014 to 2016, sediment cores were collected for the investigation of pore-water biogeochemistry and associated nutrient fluxes across the sediment-water interface.

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Impacts of Saharan dust on downward irradiance and photosynthetically available radiation in the water column

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2012
A semi-empirical approach was used to quantify the modification of the underwater light field in amplitude (magnitude effect) and spectral distribution (spectral effect) by different atmospheric conditions altering the incident light.

Multiterminal High‐Voltage Direct Current Projects: A Comprehensive Assessment and Future Prospects

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiterminal high‐voltage direct current (MT‐HVDC) systems are an important part of modern power systems, addressing the need for bulk power delivery and efficient renewable energy integration. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in MT‐HVDC technology, including launched projects and ongoing initiatives.

Fungal parasites infecting N2-fixing cyanobacteria reshape carbon and N2 fixation and trophic transfer

Nature Communications
Fungal parasites are associated with bloom-forming algae, yet their impact on N2 fixation and the fate of newly fixed nitrogen during cyanobacterial blooms is poorly understood.
