High‐dimensional elementomes outperform CNP models in explaining photosynthetic traits

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Links between plant elementomes (i.e. the concentration of chemical elements in plant tissue) and functional traits have the potential to improve predictions of plant physiological performance and ecosystem processes, and their response to environmental change.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Waterbird zoogeochemical effects shape wetland nutrient dynamics and algal communities in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal freshwater wetlands

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...

False kings and imagined protestants: why schismogenesis does not explain variation in inequality among Indigenous societies of the Pacific Coast Faux rois et protestants imaginaires: pourquoi la schismogenèse n'explique pas les variations des inégalités parmi les sociétés autochtones de la côte pacifique nord‐américaine

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Indigenous societies along the temperate Pacific coast of North America embody diverse cultural institutions. This variation is conventionally classified into two distinct cultural areas: the Northwest Coast (NWC) and California (CAL). Discussion of the environmental, material, social, and ideological variation in these societies has a long and ...

ENVIRONMENTAL STATECRAFT AND CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS: Chengdu's Ecological Preservation and Eco‐development

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article develops the concept of environmental statecraft to study changing urban environmental politics in China and beyond. Our review of existing conceptions reveals a growing need to account for temporal and geographical complexity. Neoliberal conceptions of eco‐state restructuring are increasingly strained by contemporary geopolitical

The effects of microbial fuel cell integration into constructed wetland on the performance of constructed wetland

Bioresource Technology, 2015
The present work is the first detailed study, which is about the performance of CW after MFC integration with it. The experiments were run in open and closed circuit mode for assessment purpose. The findings of this study indicate towards a more practical application of MFC in wastewater treatment along with electricity production.

Constructed Wetlands

2015
Constructed Wetlands are an alternative, promising technology for water/wastewater treatment and pollution mitigation. They belong to the wider category of natural treatment systems. The main principle is to exploit natural materials (gravel, sand, plants) and naturally occurring processes under controlled conditions for treatment purposes. Constructed
