Dynamics of species composition in the herbaceous-subshrub later of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) plantations following canopy closure in a moist, relatively fertile site type in Zhytomyr Polissia

Біологічні студії
Background. In recent decades, the area of mature oak forests in Ukraine has been declining due to clear felling. Additionally, the existing network of protected areas is insufficient to encompass the full diversity of natural oak forests.

Slowing deforestation in Indonesia follows declining oil palm expansion and lower oil prices.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Much concern about tropical deforestation focuses on oil palm plantations, but their impacts remain poorly quantified. Using nation-wide interpretation of satellite imagery, and sample-based error calibration, we estimated the impact of large-scale ...

Parks, people and pixels: evaluating landscape effects of an East African national park on its surroundings [PDF]

, 2010
Landscapes surrounding protected areas, while still containing considerable biodiversity, have rapidly growing human populations and associated agricultural development in most of the developing world that tend to isolate them, potentially reducing their

Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...

Carbon and nutrient stocks of tea plantations differing in age, genotype and plant population density [PDF]

, 2008
Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a perennial evergreen shrub managed intensively for continuous growth of young shoots. Most tea plantations were established at the expense of native forest. Change in carbon (C) and nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium

Biomass‐Derived Transparent Bamboo Composite Films with Europium‐Based Photoconversion for Energy‐Efficient Smart Agriculture

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A biomass‐based transparent bamboo composite doped with europium efficiently converts UV light into photosynthetically active red light, significantly enhancing plant growth and providing a sustainable alternative to petroleum‐based agricultural films. The rational design of sustainable light‐conversion agricultural materials is critical for enhancing ...

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Using stable isotopes to measure the dietary responses of Costa Rican forest birds to agricultural countryside

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
How human modification of native habitats changes the feeding patterns and nutritional ecology of tropical birds is critical to conserving avian biodiversity, but tropical bird diets are laborious to investigate using the traditional methods of diet ...
