The ecology of wellbeing: How ecosystem services enhance the wellbeing of New Zealanders

, 2015
Most research on ecosystem services has focused on the supply side of the supply–demand equation – what are ecosystem services, and how to classify, value and manage them to protect supply.

Metastable Polymers for Circular 3D Printing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed polymers are usually permanent and hard to recycle. Here, metastable polymers are designed to fall apart on demand. A chemical trigger unzips the printed material back into its original building blocks within minutes at room temperature.

Impacts of an omnivorous ungulate on plant communities and soil organic carbon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Ungulates have been shown to affect multiple aspects of ecosystem composition and functions, including species diversity and carbon storage. Specifically, they can impact below‐ground carbon via both direct and indirect routes—the latter often occurring ...

Analysis of Causal Relationships Between Climate Perceptions and Ecological Production Among Tea Farmers in the Wuyi Mountains

Agriculture
Climate change adaptation in ecologically sensitive agriculture remains underexplored, especially regarding whether farmers’ climate perceptions translate into ecological production behaviors (EPBs). Using survey data from 730 tea farmers in China’s Wuyi

Climate warming drives multidimensional reorganization of global zooplankton community structure and function: an updated review

Frontiers in Marine Science
Climate change is reorganizing zooplankton habitats through ocean warming, intensified stratification, acidification, deoxygenation, sea-ice loss, and increasingly frequent marine heatwaves.
