Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Some love them, others hate them: Understanding farmers' tree planting decisions in Scotland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural land use system with potential to sequester carbon, create and repair habitats, enhance biodiversity and offer environmental and socio‐economic benefits, including improved agricultural productivity.

L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar and Its Application for Forest Parameter Estimation, 1972 to 2024: A Review

Plants
Optical remote sensing can effectively capture 2-dimensional (2D) forest information, such as woodland area and percentage forest cover. However, accurately estimating forest vertical-structure relevant parameters such as height using optical images ...

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Assessing terrestrial vertebrates as potential biodiversity indicators of ecosystem services in multifunctional landscapes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Combining ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation is critical for evaluating the benefits of nature to society. However, research gaps have led to a conservation dilemma in determining which biodiversity groups should be selected in ecosystem service assessments.

Structural and Rheological Properties of Chitosan‐Biochar Composites Prepared With Waste Biomass‐Derived Biochar

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan dispersions containing biochar derived from vine pruning residue showed increasing shear stress and improved thermal stability with loading. Flow behavior was described by the Bingham plastic model in all cases. These results support the valorization of agricultural waste in functional biopolymer formulations.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.
