Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon. [PDF]
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Satellite assessment of winter cover crop and conservation tillage outcomes to support adaptive management in working landscapes. [PDF]
Abstract The use of winter cover crops and conservation tillage are agricultural practices promoted to reduce nutrient and sediment loss from cropland, improve soil health, increase infiltration, and support farm nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. However, environmental performance of these practices is variable in the working farm landscape. The

Complex and Dynamic Effects of an Extreme Low Temperature Weather Event on Invasive Plant Populations and Resident Communities. [PDF]
Invasive plant species might benefit more from climate change, though evidence for that is not clear. Here, we show that the effects of a low‐temperature extreme weather event can result in a dramatic reduction in both vegetative and reproductive growth of invasive populations of Gunnera tinctoria (giant rhubarb) in the west of Ireland.

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests. [PDF]
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

When resilience is not enough: 2022 extreme marine heatwave threatens climatic refugia for a habitat-forming Mediterranean octocoral. [PDF]
We are convinced that this paper can contribute to a better comprehension of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. We describe how Marine Heat Waves, which have been increasing in frequency, extent and intensity during the last decades, can negatively affect habitat‐forming species over time. Abstract Climate change is impacting ecosystems

Influence of Buffer-Protected Sodium Butyrate Supplementation in the Diet of <i>Penaeus vannamei</i>. [PDF]
This study aimed to determine the optimal inclusion level of protected sodium butyrate (PSB) in diets for Penaeus vannamei during the postlarvae to grow‐out phase. A completely randomized design was used with four dietary treatments: 0, 2, 4, and 8 kg/t of PSB (54% sodium butyrate). The PSB product (Novation SL 2002, Spain) contains 54% sodium butyrate
