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

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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 ...

Coastal dune vulnerability, resilience and ecological modeling and restoration at South Padre Island, Texas

, 2018
About 40% of the world’s population currently live within 200 km of coastal zone and are exposed to erosion and flooding risks. Dunes are a critical component of the coastal landscape that can absorb the destructive hydrodynamic wave energy, thus ...

Multiple global‐change drivers and cascading effects in Mediterranean ecosystems: Lessons from an iconic national park

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...

A Century of Shifting Native Species‐Accumulation Curves Reveals Long‐Term Biodiversity Loss

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using nearly a century of vegetation‐plot data across the Netherlands, we show that species‐area relationships have significantly flattened over time, meaning that larger areas are now required to support the same level of species richness as the historical baseline. This shift reflects widespread biodiversity decline and biotic homogenization.

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Colonisation and source-sink dynamics in spiders and ground beetles after dry dune habitat restoration along the Belgian coast

, 2007
We monitored the spider and ground beetle assemblages of old dune and newly created dune-like habitats in the Ijzer estuary by means of four years of continuous pitfall sampling (2001-2004).

Geopower, Geos and the Colonisation of Palestine

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While the majority of geographical work on colonialism in Palestine centres on territory and land, this article foregrounds geopower and geos in the making of spatial relations. Three arguments are made over three corresponding sections. The first draws on recent writing on geopower and geos (primarily that by Elizabeth Grosz, Elizabeth ...

A Comprehensive Approach to Dune Restoration in South Florida; Key Elements in the Coral Cove Project Palm Beach County, Florida

, 1993
In the last 30 years, South Florida has experienced a tremendous growth in population mainly due to its favorable climate. The vast majority of the arriving populous has chosen to settle on or in close proximity to the coast.
