Timing matters for farmland breeding waders: Aligning agri‐environment exclusion periods with species‐ and latitude‐specific nesting phenology

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
We propose an evidence‐based system that prescribes context‐specific exclusion dates based on three simple criteria: target species, latitude and agricultural activity. This framework would allow policy to account for complex phenological variation, significantly improving breeding outcomes, while remaining administratively manageable and scalable.

Guapira leucophylla (Nyctaginaceae, Caryophyllales), a new species from the northern Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Guapira Aubl. (Nyctaginaceae, Pisonieae) comprises dioecious shrubs and trees widely distributed in the Neotropics and occupying diverse habitats. In the Brazilian Cerrado, the genus occurs in several phytophysiognomies, including Campos Rupestres, a montane rock ecosystem with high levels of endemism but still marked by significant gaps in botanical ...

Ceramic Production and Geodiversity in Iron Age Iberia: An Archaeometric Study of Pottery from Castrejón de Capote (SW Spain)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 659-673, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The hillfort of Castrejón de Capote is one of the best investigated settlements of Late Iron Age southwest Iberia. Located in the territory that the classical sources attributed to the Celtici, it was occupied between the early 4th and the 1st centuries bce.

Too much diversity—Multiple definitions of geodiversity hinder its potential in biodiversity research [PDF]

Geodiversity—the diversity of abiotic features and pro-cesses of the Earth's surface and subsurface—is an increasingly used concept in ecological research.

Subsidies for the Coastal Planning of the Municipality of Jaguaruna, Santa Catarina

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, 2018
The unplanned occupation of the Coastal Zone has promoted the replacement of the original natural environment by the anthropic environment. This transformation generates conditions that unbalance the Environmental Diversity (abiotic and biotic natures ...

Vehicle tracks in the UK uplands vary in occurrence with land use and overlap with peatlands and protected areas

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Surfaced vehicle tracks are widespread across GB uplands, yet their extent and environmental footprint have until now been poorly quantified. Using remote sensing and a semi‐automated detection model (F1 = 84.3%), we mapped over 5190 km of hill track, finding density highest in wind farm and grouse moor landscapes and with over 2500 km overlapping ...

Instruments for assessing the biological diversity applied to socio-economic systems. Case study: Romanian regions of development [PDF]

Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2012
When referring to environmental diversity, the components (the variety of ecological systems and species, the genetic diversity, and the heterogeneity of anthropized and anthropic systems) vary at different spatial scales.

Flood Modelling Evaluation in a Semiarid Catchment: The Role of a Soil Mineralogical Index From Satellite Imagery

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean region is characterized by the occasional occurrence of intense rainfall events. Along with lithological, geomorphological, and land use factors, these events influence the hydrosedimentary dynamics of drainage basins, potentially causing torrential floods.
