Integrated Systems Under No‐Tillage, and Improved Pastures: One Pathway Toward Restoring Soil Carbon and Organic Matter Pools in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT In Brazil, the semi‐arid region has undergone significant degradation due to deforestation for agriculture, livestock and the use of firewood. In this context, nature‐based solutions (NbS) that prioritize environmental sustainability in semi‐arid regions are crucial.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 461-485, March 2026.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Morphogenetic, structural and productive traits of buffel grass under different irrigation regimes

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015
The water restriction conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region are one of the most limiting factors to the establishment and yield of forage grasses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphogenetic, structural ...

Spinifex, fire, and fate

Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 685-696, November 2025.
Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Pedogenesis of a coastal climosequence and a volcanic ash‐influenced elevational transect of western Haleakalā, Maui

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The western slope of Haleakalā, Maui, demonstrates a wide range in soil development (eight mapped soil orders), thus providing a unique opportunity to investigate how climate and volcanic ash deposition influence soil development on basalt.

Feral cats and habitat degradation drive mammal declines in northwestern Australia: An expert elicitation to prioritize management actions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
A literature review and expert elicitation identified mammal declines in northwestern Australia are predominantly driven by feral cat predation and habitat degradation from feral livestock and fire mismanagement. We found that management actions aimed at reducing the density of feral livestock and improving fire regimes are most likely to provide ...

Using Scale Pattern Variation to Identify Individuals in the Long‐Lived Reptile, Egernia rugosa

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Effective population monitoring programmes rely on identifying individual animals accurately and ethically without negatively impacting their natural behaviour and survival. This study aimed to determine if the chin scale patterns of the threatened yakka skink (Egernia rugosa) could be used to consistently identify individual skinks.
