Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Microbial communities in deep subsurface sediments are challenged by the decrease in amount and quality of organic substrates with depth. In sediments of the Baltic Sea, they might additionally have to cope with an increase in salinity from ions that ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 To examine microbe-mineral interactions in subsurface oceanic crust, we evaluated microbial colonization on crustal minerals that were incubated in borehole fluids for one year at the seafloor wellhead of a crustal borehole observatory (IODP Hole U1301A,

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Debates abound regarding how to use land for nature recovery and environmental governance. Such decisions require an understanding of benefits and trade‐offs, and increasingly rely on vast quantities of data, delivered through digital technologies.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Multiple groundwater samples were obtained from publicly available and published metagenomes, metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), and single-cell amplified genomes (SAGs), all derived from global deep oligotrophic terrestrial subsurface samples.Analysis of populations across these groundwater samples identified a set of MAGs and SAGs, which were ...

Narratives of ‘home landscapes’ guide stewardship practices among Swedish forest owners
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Production forests play an important role in addressing many of our current sustainability challenges. Therefore, how these forests are managed and what motivates the people who are managing them are important for sustainability. 47 per cent of forests in Europe are privately owned.

Microbial Selection and Survival in Subseafloor Sediment
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Many studies have examined relationships of microorganisms to geochemical zones in subseafloor sediment. However, responses to selective pressure and patterns of community succession with sediment depth have rarely been examined.
