Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

What do we see when we look through the “anthromes lens”?
The environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities are planetary in scale. The study of human‐environment relations now involves global datasets about social factors. We discuss one of such datasets organized around land use categories called “anthromes”. These categories are used for mapping the terrestrial biosphere throughout history according to

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...
