Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the intercontinental disjunctive ferns: series Reniformia Adiantum
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.There are disputed opinions about the three taxa of series Reniformia, namely A. nelumboides X.C.Zhang (A. reniforme var. sinense Y.X.Lin), A. reniforme var. reniforme, and A. reniforme var. asarifolium (Willd.) R. Sim, owing to their similar morphology but intercontinental disjunctive distribution and close lineage with the series Venusta (only ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it
