Understanding Wildfires in Norway: Key Hazards and Vegetation Fires Damaging Buildings 2016–2023

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires are an increasing global challenge, and local knowledge is essential for efficient mitigation. In Norway, as for the rest of Northern Europe, wildfires are expected to increase in frequency and severity, which will also increase WUI vulnerabilities.

Re‐envisioning urban landscapes: lichens, liverworts, and mosses coexist spontaneously with us

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Current conceptions of “urban biodiversity” address only particular taxa, ignoring the full richness of species within cities. Despite their exclusion from these conceptions, tree‐dwelling lichens, mosses, and liverworts (collectively, “epiphytes”) are recognized as bioindicators of urbanization, but their inherent contributions to biodiversity are ...

Recommendations for built marine infrastructure that supports natural habitats

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The extent of built marine infrastructure—from energy infrastructure and ports to artificial reefs and aquaculture—is increasing globally. The rise in built structure coverage is concurrent with losses and degradation of many natural habitats. Although historically associated with net negative impacts on natural systems, built infrastructure—with ...

Ecological and developmental history impacts the equitable distribution of services

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The ecological and developmental history of the Chicago, Illinois, region has affected the current distribution of forests therein. These same factors, along with systemic and long‐lasting racial segregation, have shaped the distribution of the urban populations that benefit from the ecosystem services provided by urban forests. This study demonstrates

CO2 Storage Site Selection: A Comprehensive Review of Current Approaches

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global warming, driven by increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a critical environmental concern. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology offers a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions, but its effectiveness depends on identifying suitable candidates that can ensure safe, long‐term storage of CO2.
