From maps to mandates: Multitemporal vegetation cover analysis as a tool to evaluate environmental judicial decisions

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 886-903, April 2026.
Abstract This study examines the use of multitemporal vegetation cover analysis as a tool to assess the ecological effectiveness of judicial decisions that recognize the rights of nature, using Colombia's 2016 T‐622 decision on the Atrato River as a case study.

Hyperdominant Trees Reveal Savanna Vulnerability Under Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Brazilian Cerrado's forest structure relies disproportionately on just 30 hyperdominant tree species, which represent 50% of all individuals despite accounting for only 2% of species richness. This study evaluates their vulnerability under climate change scenarios for 2100.

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Temporal Changes in Land Use Highlight the Vulnerability of Highland Grasslands in Protected Areas in Southern Brazil

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Subtropical Highland Grasslands showed greater net conversion than Mixed Ombrophilous Forest across our study PAs. In one PA created to conserve Highland Grasslands, net grassland loss inside the PA exceeded loss in adjacent buffer zones during the study period.
