Characterizing Particulate Matter Impacts of Smoke From 2022 to 2023 Agricultural Burning in South Florida. [PDF]
Abstract Smoke from agricultural fires is a potentially important source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the US. Sugarcane is burned in Florida to facilitate the harvesting process, with the majority of these fires occurring in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), where there is only one regulatory air quality monitor.

Association of Regional Agricultural Smoke Exposure With Sociodemographic Factors in Rural and Urban Communities. [PDF]
Abstract Ambient air pollution remains a leading environmental risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the U.S, though most research is conducted in urban areas. Our study assessed how sociodemographic factors indicative of social vulnerability were associated with smoke from agricultural burns in Florida.

Twenty-Two Years of Shrub Encroachment and Its Effects on Bird Communities in an African Savanna. [PDF]
Global open terrestrial ecosystems continue to be impacted by shrub encroachment. We found that an increase in shrub cover reduced bird species occupancy and altered community assemblage in an African savanna. Land managers can minimize biodiversity impacts by controlling shrub density within conservation areas.
