Bridging Agriculture and Insect Conservation: Farmer Motivations, Barriers, and the Intermediary Role of German Biosphere Reserves

open access: yesLand
Biodiversity conservation schemes in collaboration with agriculture have been criticized in part for their limited ecological effectiveness. In this regard, biosphere reserves are internationally recognized as playing a model role in developing ...

The impacts of large wild grazers on soil carbon persistence are strongly modulated by the environmental context

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wild animals, particularly large mammalian grazers, can influence ecosystem carbon dynamics and soil carbon sequestration. However, we lack a mechanistic understanding of how wild grazer communities influence soil carbon persistence, specifically in terms of the size of

Higher priming effect induced by stem than leaf and root litter

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant litter input can affect soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, that is the priming effect. Variation in experimental conditions, litter characteristics and soil properties among individual studies has led to inconsistent reports of priming effects.

Productivity and Human Disturbance Shape Contrasting Distribution Patterns of Core and Occasional Bird Species in a Subtropical Forest Reserve in Southern China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Bird diversity hot spots in a recovering subtropical forest do not align with protected area zoning, instead occurring in experimental zones with low‐intensity human activity. This mismatch is driven by contrasting responses: Abundant core species are supported by productivity, while many species of low frequency are attracted to the habitat ...

Climate Change and Dispersal Limitation Reshape Future Habitat Accessibility for Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) in China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined occurrence records across China with multisource environmental variables using ensemble species distribution modeling, optimal‐parameter geographical detector analysis, and dispersal simulations to estimate future habitat accessibility for Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae). ABSTRACT Montane forest birds are highly vulnerable

Insurance and the Challenge of Governing Risks Beyond National Limits

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Even as the legitimacy of states appears to derive ever more explicitly from nationalist claims, nation‐states and national economies remain deeply entangled. In the face of border‐spanning risks, governments face both rising pressures for self‐centered policies and demands for more extensive transnational collaboration.

How Can Accountants Enhance (or Save) Natural and Cultural Capital Valuation? Engaging Academics: A Collaboration with CPA Canada and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO*

open access: yesAccounting Perspectives, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 21-46, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Accountants should engage more with natural and cultural capital accounting to make tools more accessible and to ensure critical information is provided to decision‐makers. While ecological economists have continued to innovate and design tools, corporate‐level accounting has seemingly lagged behind.
