Monitoring population trends are essential for the conservation of threatened species, and establishing best‐practice methods improves the efficiency, accuracy and long‐term value of data collected. For the nationally endangered Prodontria lewisii (Cromwell chafer beetle), monitoring has typically included soil core sampling for larvae, and pitfall ...

High Resprouting of Plants Within 16 Months of Wildfire in a Dry Grassland in Aotearoa New Zealand
Wildfires are projected to increase in severity and frequency in dryland ecosystems due to climate change. To predict how plant communities will respond to these changes in wildfire patterns, it is vital to understand how plants establish following fire; such knowledge is limited in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

ABSTRACT Climate change is driving a global shift from flooded (anaerobic) to dryland/rainfed (aerobic) rice production. While aerobic systems reduce water use and methane emissions, they can exacerbate soil zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiencies due to altered redox conditions.
