Knowledge is not power: Learning in polycentric governance systems

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 444-465, May 2025.
Abstract The link between knowledge and decision‐making in polycentric systems is shaped by the process of collective learning, where policy actors participate in multiple policy forums to acquire, translate, and disseminate knowledge. This article argues that the relationship between learning and participation in polycentric systems differs for actors

Conservation priorities for functionally unique and specialized terrestrial vertebrates threatened by biological invasions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Invasive non‐native species (INS) continue to pose a significant threat to biodiversity, including native population declines, which can ultimately disrupt ecosystem processes. Although there is growing evidence of the impacts of INS on functional diversity, most of the existing approaches to prioritization of species for conservation still ...

The Unstable Relationship Between Drought Status and Leaf Water Content Complicates the Remote Sensing of Tree Drought Stress

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2025.
Remote sensing can monitor plant drought stress across ecosystems but is limited by uncertain links between physiological stress and measurements of water content. We examined how water potential and water content, measured in the field, laboratory, and via airborne imaging, vary over time and space in two oak species.

Assessing participatory process‐system linkages in polycentric water governance: Insights from WFD implementation in Germany

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 310-345, March 2025.
Abstract An important, although insufficiently answered, environmental governance research question concerns how exactly participation improves policy implementation at different scales. Numerous studies have highlighted important variables influencing the effectiveness of participatory processes.

Threats posed by land use to water quality in South Africa's strategic water source areas

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 155-164, February 2025.
Abstract Understanding the negative impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) on water quality is key to developing effective integrated catchment management strategies. However, in line with the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) philosophy, this necessitates the generation and application of useful scientific knowledge, which stakeholders and ...

Design and management considerations for the Kenya–Tanzania marine transboundary conservation area

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Although transboundary conservation areas (TCAs) are critical tools for protecting ecosystems and ecological processes that transcend national jurisdictions, they are challenging to create due to the differences in governance contexts and capacity and power dynamics among countries.

Microclimatic variation regulates seed germination phenology in alpine plant communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 249-262, January 2025.
This study combines novel laboratory experimentation based on detailed field microclimatic data to tackle the understudied topic of germination phenology in alpine habitats. The findings suggest a predictable phenological shift in the germination of alpine plants along microclimatic gradients.

Game target‐group: Implementing inhomogeneous Poisson point process to estimate animal abundance from harvest data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 170-182, January 2025.
Abstract Harvest data have the potential to be used as an abundance index due to its widespread availability and long‐term collection across large geographical areas. However, challenges such as the lack of hunting effort information, varying data resolutions and reporting biases hinder its direct use as an abundance proxy.
