Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Recovery of great blue herons (Ardea herodias) within the Chesapeake Bay

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We surveyed great blue herons throughout the tidal reach of the Chesapeake Bay in 2013 and mapped 423 colonies supporting 15,094 pairs. The population has increased more than four‐fold since the mid‐1970s. Colony size has declined. Invasion of colonies by bald eagles may be driving a change in spatial structure.

The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution
Substantial interspecific variation in both drought responses and soil functioning among woody species poses significant challenges for predicting drought impacts on soil functioning in species‐rich tropical and subtropical forests.

Economic Values of Saginaw Bay Coastal Marshes [PDF]

We estimate the economic values of Saginaw Bay coastal marshes with multiple methods. First we estimate the value of coastal marsh recreation with two variations of the travel cost method: the single-site recreation demand model and the recreation site ...

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Storage treatment and diluent cause inconsistencies in commonly used fluorometric microplate enzyme assays conducted with saltmarsh soils

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.

Need to link river management with estuarine wetland conservation: A case study in the Yellow River Delta, China

, 2017
Estuarine wetlands are valuable ecosystems of coastal zones. Traditionally, wetlands are preserved by establishing nature reserves within them. However, the driving forces of estuarine wetland degradation change at different temporal and spatial scales ...

Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.
