Hydraulic Effects of Channel Realignment and Floodplain Reconnection in a Headwater Stream

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Channel realignment and floodplain reconnection are increasingly used as nature‐based solutions for flood management, yet their hydraulic effects remain poorly quantified in field settings of moderate‐gradient, small order channels. This study examines the impact of such interventions on hydraulic response in a headwater catchment, Goldrill ...

An evaluation of the effects of blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) behavior on the efficacy of crab pots as a tool for estimating population abundance [PDF]

, 2011
Crab traps have been used extensively in studies on the population dynamics of blue crabs to provide estimates of catch per unit of effort; however, these estimates have been determined without adequate consideration of escape rates.

What Drives Decomposition Rates of Coarse Woody Debris (CWD)?

, 2009
Currently increasing efforts are made to manage CWD as a habitat component and a carbon store in forest ecosystems. For this a basic understanding of patterns and rates of dead wood decomposition in different forests is crucial. The decomposition rate of CWD is mainly dependent on climatic (wood temperature, wood moisture) and substrate specific (tree ...

Tree‐based modelling of ecosystem services and climate‐adaptive silviculture strategies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our years‐long collaboration contributed to a robust scientific basis for the next TVSF management plan, which is currently under development. More broadly, our findings demonstrate the adaptive capacity of communities in sparsely managed climate vulnerable forests is likely insufficient to offset declines in desired ecosystem services.

State‐and‐transition models as a contextual framework for leading indicators of restoration trajectories

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1345-1358, May 2026.
Abstract New incentives and instruments for financing ecosystem restoration require frameworks that support planning, monitoring and reporting, including the identification and use of leading indicators. Leading indicators have the potential to predict the outcomes of restoration interventions before full recovery has occurred.

Farm‐scale Natural Capital Accounting: Unlocking the potential of natural capital to support sustainable agriculture

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1434-1461, May 2026.
Abstract The demand for information about property‐scale natural capital is growing rapidly as producers and supply chains respond to opportunities and pressures to report environmental performance information. Natural Capital Accounting offers promise but agreed methods for farm‐scale accounts are currently lacking.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

Urban Bushland Wildfire Adaptation: Lessons From Managing Grassland Biodiversity and Woody Thickening on the Queens Domain, Hobart, Tasmania

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban bushland fragments have important natural and social values. Their management is challenging because they typically have experienced complex historical disturbances, making it difficult to settle on the most appropriate restoration targets. We illustrate these issues by chronicling vegetation and fire regime changes in the Queens Domain,
