Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Understanding stakeholder perspectives : the case of Mount Arrowsmith Massif Regional Park & the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Reserve

, 2011
Parks and protected areas are crucial for the health of the biosphere and long-term sustainability of the planet. However challenges these areas face include: there are simply not enough of them, the existing ones are often too small and fragmented ...

Weaving everyday environmental heritage into modern conservation policy: Insights from Indigenous communities in northern Thailand

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Signatories of global conservation treaties have pledged to support Indigenous peoples' rights and roles in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystems. Movements embracing biocultural concepts (e.g. Indigenous ecological knowledge, cultural ecosystem services) and governance approaches (e.g. sacred natural sites, biosphere reserves) have provided

Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

An integrated forest‐to‐market approach to promote lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) in a domestic timber market in the Congo Basin

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
In the Congo Basin, domestic timber markets account for ~40% of timber consumption, yet demand is concentrated on a few high‐value species also sought after on international markets, raising concerns about their long‐term availability. We combine market, wood, and forest data to assess the potential of lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) to support a ...

Revisiting bare‐ground evaporation in a high‐resolution numerical weather prediction system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An improved method is proposed to parameterize evaporation in numerical weather prediction models. The figure shows dew‐point temperature forecast error (standard deviation of forecast error and bias) versus lead time over the North Plains region during spring 2022 for three parameterizations: CTL, the α$$ \alpha $$ method of Jacquemin and Noilhan; IFS:

Progressive emergence of canopy gravity waves during the afternoon–evening transition

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large‐eddy simulations are used to investigate the afternoon‐to‐evening transition of turbulence over a forest canopy and its coupling with atmospheric boundary‐layer dynamics. As surface cooling strengthens stability and weakens near‐canopy winds, canopy turbulence transitions progressively to internal gravity waves that dominate the evening flow ...

Dynamics of ecosystem service values under land cover change in the Dinder semi-arid biosphere reserve, Sudan

Ecological Indicators
Land use and land cover (LULC) changes strongly influence ecosystem service values (ESV), yet their dynamics in semi-arid biosphere reserves remain underexplored.
