Teacher confidence and student engagement with mental health and wellbeing lessons: Learning from an iterative curriculum intervention in schools

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The mental health and wellbeing of young people has received increasing attention in both research and the wider public discourse. There has been a marked rise in mental health conditions in young people, and the burden of care is increasingly transferred onto schools and teachers.

Boreal forest cover was reduced in the mid-Holocene with warming and recurring wildfires

Communications Earth & Environment
The hemi-boreal zone, marking North America’s southern boreal forest boundary, has evolved post-glaciation, hosting diverse ecosystems including mixed forests with savannas, grasslands, and wetlands.

Dead standing pine trees in a boreal forest landscape in the Kalevala National Park, northern Fennoscandia : amount, population characteristics and spatial pattern

, 2017
Background After their death, Scots pine trees can remain standing for decades and sometimes up to 200 years, forming long-lasting and ecologically important structures in boreal forest landscapes.

Spatial Variability of Shortwave Irradiance for Snowmelt in Forests [PDF]

, 2008
The spatial variation of melt energy can influence snow cover depletion rates and in turn be influenced by the spatial variability of shortwave irradiance to snow.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

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

Canadian 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.

Effects of Simultaneous Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus During Storage of Maize in Hermetic and Non‐Hermetic Conditions

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sitophilus zeamais (Mostschulsky), the maize weevil, and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, are two notorious insect pests of farm‐stored products in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The goal of this study was to determine whether there were interactions between P. truncatus and S. zeamais during storage.
