From disorientation to preparedness: Information practices as scaffolding in acute crises

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This qualitative study examines how adults in Israel enacted information practices during an acute national crisis. Using the information transitions framework, we investigate how concrete practices emerge and evolve across three stages: understanding, negotiating, and resolving. Semi‐structured Zoom interviews with 18 adults were analyzed via

A Secret Hidden in the Sediments: Lepidoptera Scales

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Natural disturbance is one of the major topics in forest ecology. However, most paleoecological studies have only considered the influence of wildfire as an agent of disturbance, with fire history based primarily on the use of charcoal as a proxy for ...

The impact of fire on habitat use by the short-snouted elephant shrew ('Elephantulus brachyrhynchus') in North West Province, South Africa [PDF]

, 2008
Several studies have investigated the response of small mammal populations to fire, but few have investigated behavioural responses to habitat modification. In this study we investigated the impact of fire on home range, habitat use and activity patterns

Comparative field‐scale assessment of TLUD and Kon‐Tiki biochar systems: agronomic performance and net CO2e‐based techno‐economics

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐harvest agricultural residues in Latin America are commonly underutilized, leading to greenhouse gas emissions and lost opportunities for bio‐based value creation. This study tests the hypothesis that decentralized, farmer‐scale pyrolysis technologies can deliver comparable agronomic benefits while exhibiting distinct techno‐economic and ...

Gopher Frogs, Burrows, and Fire: Interactions in the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem

EDIS, 2009
WEC-250, a 5-page illustrated fact sheet by Elizabeth A. Roznik and Steve A. Johnson, helps land stewards understand the relationships between fire, burrowing animals, and the animals that use burrows, such as the gopher frog.

Allelopathic Mechanisms in Fire-Prone Ecosystems

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2021
Understanding the fire-prone arid-zone pine species and maquis vegetation's response to fire is very important to reveal the ecology and evolution of these species. During the succession of vegetation, there are complex relationships between allelopathic

Towards a Sounder Fire Ecology

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2003
This forum brings together fire ecologists from outside the current wildfire controversy in the US to give their views on three central topics related to ecosystems in which wildfires are an important process. First, how do fire behavior and ecological effects vary between ecosystems?

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...
