A Person‐Environment Fit Framework for Measuring Multi‐Risk Community Resilience: 24 Indicators with Metrics and Vulnerability Thresholds

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses a persistent challenge in community resilience research and practice: how to assess and build resilience when communities face multiple, interacting, and potentially unforeseen risks. It develops a relational framework for multi‐risk resilience based on Person–Environment (P–E) Fit Theory.

Aftermath of the Forest Carbon Credit Crisis as Experienced by Restoration and Conservation Organisations

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2023, The Guardian reported on several scientific studies denouncing the role of certain forest carbon credits in mitigating climate change. Subsequently, credit prices on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) plummeted—providing a quantitative indication of its impact.

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Dead Capital or Preserved Heritage? Evaluating the Uniform Partition of Heirs' Property Act's Effect on Land Development

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heirs' property, land passed down informally without a clear title, poses significant economic challenges due to the tragedy of the anti‐commons. This study examines the impact of the Uniform Partition of Heirs' Property Act (UPHPA) on land use patterns in U.S. counties with high concentrations of heirs' property.

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...
