The Quality of Clarity: Lessons from the Sixty‐Year Struggle to Maintain the Purity of Lake Taupō
Sixty years of effort to protect the exceptionally clear water of Lake Taupō, the largest lake in Aotearoa New Zealand, show how environmental memory can help manage a cultural and natural resource. I describe how water clarity and quality in this lake have been protected, through managing soil erosion and phosphorus flows during the 1960s–1980s, and ...

Abstract Nature‐based tourism is a rapidly growing subsector of the international tourism industry. However, capturing broad‐scale patterns of nature visits during touristic trips or visitors' appreciation of nature may be difficult using traditional data sources and methods. In this study, we harness geotagged social media data to understand the scale

Grain Size Sorting and Steady Bars Formation in Straight Channels—Part 2: Linear Theory
Abstract This is the second of two papers aimed to investigate grain sorting patterns associated with the formation of steady alternate bars in gravel‐bed rivers. Part 1 presented the analysis of a series of tailored experiments, performed in a mobile bed laboratory flume with fixed, straight banks. The results showed that a consistent pattern of grain

Structural Recovery of Overlooked Shrublands Drives Asymmetric Restoration in Dryland Ecosystems
Abstract Current remote sensing of dryland ecosystems is fundamentally limited by a reliance on vegetation indices (“greenness”), which struggle to disentangle mixed pixel signals and fail to capture the non‐photosynthetic structural components critical for resilience.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...
