The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2828-2846, August 2026.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...

Identifying priority areas to guide management planning of a protected area network to support snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Asia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We analysed a total of 512 protected areas (PAs) across 13 snow leopard range countries, utilizing graph theory coupled with resistant kernels, to rank and prioritize PAs for management decisions. We found that protection status often did not correspond with PA importance for connectivity, critical PAs tended to be clustered at international borders ...

Characterization of grain yield in spring wheat using agronomic, image‐derived phenomics, and genomic approaches

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Future yield gains in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) will increasingly rely on multi‐omic approaches that combine phenomic and genomic data. In this study, we used canopy imaging to examine plant growth over time to assess plant growth dynamics and determine their relationship with grain yield and yield components.
