Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds
Oikos, EarlyView.Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Ecosystem services are rapidly degrading under anthropogenic pressure. Therefore, it is increasingly important to understand how ecosystem services flow, particularly at local scales, where people directly rely on nature for their livelihoods and well‐being. Many ecosystem services are underpinned by ecological (e.g.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Background. Fostering healthy urban living conditions is a critical public health objective. One efficient approach lies in the contact to nature, as numerous studies have shown that urban and peri‐urban natural elements both indoors and outdoors carry a large potential in buffering typical urban threats to mental health.
