Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Tuning adsorption and morphology in poly(glutamic acid) via controlled acidic partial deprotection
Polymer International, EarlyView.Partial deprotection of poly(glutamic acid) generates morphologies and assemblies that match fully deprotected polypeptides in small‐molecule adsorption, extending to block copolypeptides with pH‐dependent effects. Abstract Synthetic polypeptides prepared from N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomers are important platforms for environmental and medical ...

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in
