Hunting and Hauora: Pig Hunters and Poaka in Aotearoa New Zealand
ABSTRACT Though invasive, wild pigs (poaka) were fundamental to the survival of both Māori and Pākehā during colonisation, and they remain an essential source of kai (sustenance) today. Utilising a Whanganui case study, 24 participants, semi‐structured interviews, and thematic analysis guided by Kaupapa Māori principles, describe hunters' interests in ...

Outbreaks of Yuzu Dieback in Goheung Area: Possible Causes Deduced from Weather Extremes
Starting in 2012, severe diebacks usually accompanied by abundant gum exudation have occurred on yuzu trees in Goheung-gun, Jeonnam Province, where severely affected trees were occasionally killed.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

High impact activities in parks: best management practice and future research [PDF]
Off-road driving, horseriding, rock climbing and similar activities can be lucrative for tour operators and important for local recreational groups, but contentious for management of national parks and protected areas, both because of safety and ...

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Tidal Attenuation and Poor Drainage Make Interior Microtidal Marshes Vulnerable to Sea Level Rise
Empirical and simulation models often assume a uniform tidal range across marsh platforms to predict marsh vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR), overlooking the hydrological heterogeneity caused by tidal attenuation and drainage conditions.

Drought influence over radial growth of Mexican conifers inhabiting mesic and xeric sites [PDF]
Drought is a major constraint of forest productivity and tree growth across diverse habitat types. In this study, we investigated the drought responses of four conifer species growing within two locations of differing elevation and climatic conditions in

Can species adapt to drought using multiple strategies? Lessons from the California poppy
Summary Plants can escape drought by completing life cycles early, tolerate drought by increasing physiological limits, or avoid drought stress by obtaining or using water more efficiently. It remains unclear whether strategies vary within species across their distributional ranges due to trade‐offs, and whether species can exhibit plasticity in ...
