‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species-habitat networks. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

Long‐term protection in grasslands enhances soil carbon storage through reduced disturbance and community trait diversity–environment adaptations

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how ecological disturbance and plant community traits regulate soil carbon storage is critical for predicting ecosystem feedbacks to global change and designing sustainable land‐use strategies.

Successes, Failures and Suggested Future Directions for Ecosystem Restoration of the Middle Sacramento River, California

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2013
Large-scale ecosystem restoration projects seldom undergo comprehensive evaluation to determine project effectiveness. Consequently, there are missed opportunities for learning and strategy refinement.

Alien aquatic macroinvertebrates along the lateral dimension of a large floodplain [PDF]

, 2018
Floodplains are simultaneously among the most species-rich and the most threatened ecosystems. Alien aquatic macroinvertebrates contribute to this threat but remain scarcely studied in the lateral dimension of floodplains.

Soil Rotifers new to Hungary from the floodplain Gemenc (Duna-Dráva National Park, Hungary) [PDF]

, 2013
In summer and autumn 2010, we collected soil samples from the Gemenc floodplain of the Danube (Duna-Dráva National Park) from places with different flood regimes and vegetation cover and examined them for rotifers.

Comparing the success and failure of the Murray–Darling Basin Plan's water recovery programs

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) Plan is held up by some as an exemplar for world‐leading water policy, whilst others have called it a failure. Total proposed recovery was to return 3200 GL of consumptive (e.g. namely irrigation) water use to non‐consumptive (e.g.

Spatial–Temporal Evolution of Ecological Network Structure During 1967–2021 in Yongding River Floodplain

Land
Constructing a rational ecological network is crucial for balancing regional development with environmental protection. However, existing research typically emphasizes the analysis of overall patterns, lacking an in-depth exploration of the dynamic ...

Insurance and the “Irrationalization” of Disaster Policy: A Political Crisis Theory for an Age of Climate Risk

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the last several years, disaster insurance programs around the world have experienced disruptions that many observers interpret to be a primary symptom of “climate crisis” (Bittle 2024). Governments have responded to these disruptions through disjointed and at times contradictory measures: they treat disasters, alternately, as “Acts of God”
