Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Phenological Plant Pattern in the Topographic Complex Karstic Landscape of the Northern Dinaric Alps

Plants
Vegetation phenology has lately gained attention in the context of studying human-induced climate change and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. It is typically studied on various regional and temporal scales.

Modelling predicts that heat stress and not drought will limit wheat yield in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
Global warming is characterised by shifts in weather patterns and increases in extreme weather events. New crop cultivars with specific physiological traits will therefore be required if climate change is not to result in losses of yield and food ...

Revitalizing endangered mycocultural heritage in Mesoamerica: The case of the Tlahuica‐Pjiekakjoo culture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The preservation and revitalization of mycocultural heritage, developed over centuries of human‐mushroom interaction, contributes to safeguarding both natural ecosystems and the promotion of sustainable rural development, one of the biggest global challenges currently faced by humankind.

Flight phenology of oligolectic solitary bees are affected by flowering phenology

, 2021
Understanding the relationships between solitary bees’ flight phenology and flowering phenology is important in the context of global warming. Using Swedish citizen science data, observations of oligolectic solitary bees and flowering phenology were used together with temperature data.

Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Harmonising digitised herbarium data to enhance biodiversity knowledge: Major steps towards an updated checklist for the flora of Greenland

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbaria worldwide hold centuries of plant data that are key to understanding and protecting biodiversity; however, even with increased digital access, differences in plant naming systems make it difficult to compare records. We developed a semi‐automated workflow that standardises species names and organises herbaria records from multiple institutions

The Mid-Domain Effect Shapes a Unimodal Latitudinal Pattern in Fruiting Phenology

Plants
The mid-domain effect (MDE) has been used to explain spatial diversity patterns and flowering phenology, but its role in fruiting phenology has received limited attention to date.

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased
