‘These reforms have teeth’: The affective dimensions of teacher education policy enactment

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The affective dimensions of education policy enactment have often received less attention in the research literature, especially regarding teacher education policy. This article reports on a study of the affective responses of university‐based teacher educators in England to the significant initial teacher education reforms of 2019–2022: the ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Challenges and Limitations in Comparing Satellite Microwave Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) Against in-Situ Tree Hydraulics in the Canadian Boreal Forest

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Remote Sensing
Microwave remote sensing can be used to estimate vegetation optical depth (VOD), a measure of the attenuation of microwave radiation by vegetation. VOD is tightly linked to vegetation properties such as water content and above-ground biomass.

Variability in Fire Frequency and Forest Composition in Canada's Southeastern Boreal Forest: A Challenge for Sustainable Forest Management

open access: yesEcology and Society, 1998
Because some consequences of fire resemble the effects of industrial forest harvesting, forest management is often considered as a disturbance having effects similar to those of natural disturbances.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
