ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Characterization of peat, limnic, and mineral horizons in Eastern Canada Histosols
Abstract North American populations rely on a supply of fresh produce from drained and cultivated Histosols. However, peat thickness decreases over time due to many soil degradation mechanisms, gradually giving way to limnic and mineral soil materials in the vadose zone, generally viewed as less fertile and affecting soil chemical properties. More soil

Assessing Dominant Uncertainties in Future Precipitation Projections for a Hurricane‐Prone Region
Abstract Accurate projection of future precipitation remains challenging due to uncertainties in reference data sets, bias correction and global climate models (GCMs). Here, we evaluated these uncertainties across 13 major cities of the U.S. Gulf Coast, a hurricane‐prone region, under 192 historical and future scenarios.

Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Frankliniella occidentalis is a major threat to lettuce production due to its role in transmitting Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV). To better understand the potential risk of INSV outbreaks in Florida lettuce production areas, this study aimed to ...

Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...
