The Long Arc of Forest Land Dispossession and Degradation—Firm and State Actions on Sámi Lands in the Wood‐Based Commodity Frontier in Northern Sweden, 1673–1955

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents a new way of obtaining deep explanations of environmental problems. We expose the production strategies, corporate strategies and state actions that have been taken by firms and state agencies to facilitate the geographical expansion of the wood‐based commodity frontier at the expense of reindeer pastoralists among the ...

Data for: Anomalous outbreaks of an invasive defoliator and native bark beetle facilitated by warm temperatures, changes in precipitation, and interspecific interactions

open access: yes, 2019
Data were analyzed to quantify spatiotemporal patterns of two biotic disturbance agents, the invasive larch casebearer (Coleophora laricella Hübner) and native eastern larch beetle (Dendroctonus simplex LeConte), on eastern larch (Larix laricina (Du Roi)

Evaluating the Potential of annual Sentinel-1 Composites for Bark Beetle Infestation Detection [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The exponential spread of the bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) outbreaks across Europe in recent years has led to heightened interest in remote sensing-based detection.

The Form of Agency

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Modeling Endemic Bark Beetle Populations in Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bark beetle populations phase between epidemic, outbreak levels, and low population density, endemic levels. The majority of scientific research is focused on outbreak populations because of the associated economic, ecological, and social impacts ...

Ecology, Floristic–Vegetational Features, and Future Perspectives of Spruce Forests Affected by Ips typographus: Insight from the Southern Alps

open access: yesPlants
In recent years, many spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst., Pinaceae) forests have been severely affected by bark beetle (Ips typographus L., Coleoptera: Curculionidae) outbreaks in the Southern Alps, but their ecological impacts remain poorly studied.

Harnessing Bulk‐Segregant Mapping to Identify Trait‐Associated Genes in the Allopolyploid Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forward genetics has been instrumental in identifying genes underlying desirable traits, yet its application to polyploid plants, many of which are key agricultural crops, remains challenging due to their genomic complexity. Therefore, we developed BenthMap, a bulk segregant analysis platform for high‐throughput trait mapping and gene ...

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Noisy Politics, Quiet Technocrats: Strategic Silence by Central Banks

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In contrast to the “quiet” politics of the pre‐2008 period, macroeconomic policy has become “noisy”. This break raises a question: How do independent agencies designed for quiet politics react when a contentious public turns the volume up on them?
