Evidence of Genetic Isolation and Differentiation Among Historically Fragmented British Populations of Common Juniper, Juniperus communis L.

Ecology and Evolution
Habitat fragmentation and population isolation pose a threat to the genetic diversity and adaptability of many species. The common juniper, Juniperus communis L., a keystone species for juniper scrub habitat and one of only three conifers that are native

Public perception of forest fires: The role of knowledge, socio-demographic factors, and implications for fire management

Journal of Forest Science
Forest fires are becoming an increasingly serious environmental and social problem, driven by climate change and growing anthropogenic pressure. While their ecological aspects have been widely studied, less attention has been paid to social perception ...

Effects of Cerrado restoration on seasonal soil hydrological properties and insights on impacts of deforestation and climate change scenarios

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Knowing soil indicators during forest restoration is essentially better for understanding the recovery of ecosystem functions for water conservation. The aim of this study is to assess seasonal changes in hydrological properties of sandy soils subjected ...

Monitoring of forest ecosystems in Ireland : FOREM 9 project : final report [PDF]

, 2004
Intensive monitoring has been carried out under EC Regulation 3528/86 (project number 8860 IR 001.0) at Ballyhooly, Co. Cork since 1988. In 1991, three new plots (Roundwood, Cloosh and Brackloon) were established (9060IR0030) to give a more ...

Effects of afforestation on Technosol properties in reclaimed hard coal deep mining spoil heaps

Scientific Reports
Mining for fossil fuels and minerals generates spoil heaps and open pits, which have significant environmental impacts in addition to their economic contributions. Afforestation of these disturbed areas can improve soil properties, thereby increasing the

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Synergistic Design of Biomass Materials for Moisture‐Induced Electricity Generation

CleanMat, EarlyView.
This review explores moisture‐induced electricity generation using natural biomass platforms. It explains how intrinsic polar groups and hierarchical pore networks drive ambient water adsorption, ion dissociation, and directional charge transport.

SNOWMIP2: An evaluation of forest snow process simulation [PDF]

, 2009
The Northern Hemisphere has large areas that are forested and seasonally snow covered. Compared with open areas, forest canopies strongly influence interactions between the atmosphere and snow on the ground by sheltering the snow from wind and solar ...

How to reduce sampling error in species population monitoring: from theory to methods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Progress towards national and international targets to halt and reverse declines in species' abundances will be assessed using multispecies indicators (MSIs). A distinction must be drawn between two MSIs. One is the ideal, but unobserved, MSI that would have been measured had all species and sites within the scope of the target been sampled.
