Land use intensification results in abrupt transitions between extensively and intensively managed grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding whether land use intensification causes regime shifts (i.e. persistent, large changes in ecosystem states) is of key importance for management, particularly if these shifts occur abruptly as thresholds in land use intensity are crossed.

URBAN CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AND THE UNEVENNESS OF CITY NETWORKS: The Trajectory and Perspectives of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Chile

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholars have widely discussed integrating local administrations into climate governance networks, focusing on networks such as the Global Covenant of Mayors or C40, whose members are mostly in the European Union or countries of the global North and premium cities managed by engaged administrations. Relatively little is known about urban‐scale

What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

The obsolescence of protected area categories in a polycrisis world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current global conservation models face significant limitations in addressing the global polycrisis, and the constraints of the International Union for Conservation of Nature protected area (PA) classification system are part of the issue. The principles of the new conservation paradigm—governance, equity, and interculturality—are not viable ...

A framework for integrating resilience indicators into risk assessments

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human pressures, yet ecosystem risk assessments predominantly emphasize exposure to stressors while overlooking intrinsic ecosystem resilience—the capacity to absorb and recover from disturbances.

Cognitive and institutional barriers to effective natural resource management under global change

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many of the most challenging decisions facing natural resource managers today can be understood as time dependent. The concept of time‐dependent decisions is useful when considering natural resource management decisions that are characterized by nonstationarity in the underlying ecological system, uncertainty surrounding key ecological ...

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.
