White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Ecological flow-driven multifunctionality: A Nature-based Solutions framework for urban ecological corridor planning in high-density cities

Ecological Indicators
This study develops an ecological flow driven framework, grounded in Nature-based Solutions (NbS), that upgrades the canonical source, resistance, and path paradigm for urban ecological corridors to the realities of high-density cities.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Identification of ecological restoration areas based on the ecological safety security assessment of wetland-hydrological ecological corridors: A case study of the Han River Basin in China

Ecological Indicators
In recent years, wetland resources have been threatened by human activities such as mining, agriculture and construction land expansion, and problems such as shrinkage of wetland area and deterioration of water quality have emerged, impeding the exchange

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Synergistic Regulation of Soil Function and Wind Erosion Resistance by Sand Barriers, Vegetation, and Artificial Biological Crust in the Tengger Desert

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian desertification poses a critical threat to ecosystem stability in arid regions worldwide. Although the combination of sand barriers and vegetation has been widely applied for sand fixation, its long‐term effectiveness is constrained by barrier degradation, slow natural development of biological soil crusts (BSCs), and the resulting ...
