Analysis of Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Land Desertification in Qilian Mountain National Park Based on Google Earth Engine

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Notwithstanding the overall improvement in the ecological condition of the Qilian Mountains, there are localized occurrences of grassland degradation, desertification, and salinization.

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Disasters and Archaeology: A Remote Sensing Approach for Determination of Archaeology At-Risk to Desertification in Sistan

Remote Sensing
Desertification in semi-arid environments poses a significant risk to the archaeology within arid and semi-arid regions. Due to multiple political and physical barriers, accessing desertification-prone areas is complex, complicating pathways towards ...

Integrating remote‐sensing and meteorological data to identify key drivers of the potential distribution of a grassland grasshopper

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
An ensemble model achieved excellent accuracy (AUC = 0.973) in predicting the potential distribution of O. decorus asiaticus. Climate (temperature & August precipitation) and vegetation type are the primary drivers defining the species' suitable habitats.

Vineyard management practices to mitigate the effects of climate change on ‘Monastrell’ grapes quality

Discover Applied Sciences
Future climate change is expected to increase climate variability, along with the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Rising temperatures and prolonged dry periods accelerate grape ripening, leading to higher sugar concentrations, reduced ...

Trends, turning points, and driving forces of desertification in global arid land based on the segmental trend method and SHAP model

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Desertification is a form of land degradation observed in arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid ecosystems. Assessing the global trends and drivers of desertification in arid land is crucial for developing effective land restoration policies and mitigating ...

(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Time‐calibrated relationships of a rare cave catfish (Trichomycterus rubbioli): Shedding light on troglobitic lifestyle origin in the Brazilian caatinga

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Catfishes of the subfamily Trichomycterinae comprise the most diverse fish group with species adapted to live in Neotropical caves, but past evolutionary scenarios that have driven the origin of these troglobitic species remain unknown. We herein investigate the phylogenetic position of the cave‐restricted Trichomycterus rubbioli, endemic to ...
