Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Carbon dynamics in cacao agroforestry plantations setup after forest or savannah: a chronosequence analysis in a forest-savannah transition zone in Cameroon [PDF]

, 2016
Previous studies in the forest-savannah transition zone of Bokito in Central Cameroon have shown that smallholder farmers were able to realize afforestation by creating cacao plantations on savannah land. Compared to plantations setup after forest in the

Assessing hydric soils in a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado

Soil Use and Management, 2013
Abstract Hydric soils have important ecological functions such as biodiversity hotspots, hydrological buffering and C storage, but their spatial variability leads to mapping uncertainties. In the Brazilian Cerrado, gallery forests along first‐order streams are used to indicate the occurrence of hydric soils, but ...

Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Sliding Doors: Frame Uptake and Rejection by Learners in a Museum‐Based Climate Learning Experience

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Science education efforts that support public understanding of modern climate change are critically needed. However, implementing climate‐related learning experiences can be challenging, as public audiences tend to experience a wide range of understandings of and emotions around the issue. In light of these challenges, many scholars have posed
