Does conservation status influence the temporal development of agriculturally used permanent grassland in Germany?

open access: yes, 2018
The preservation of grassland is an intensely disputed topic in th EU, in general, and in Germany in particular. Preservation of grassland is topical mainly for two reasons: the protection of abiotic resources (e.g.

Ecolabels as Instruments for Biodiversity Governance in Agri‐Food Systems: A Comparative Assessment of EU Certification Schemes

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity underpins ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services, yet it continues to decline due to intensive agriculture, pollution, habitat loss and climate change. Although ecolabels are increasingly used to communicate sustainability attributes and influence consumer choices, their role in addressing biodiversity ...

Harnessing Native Al/Si Impurities in Bamboo Black Liquor for Self‐Templated Closed‐Pore Hard Carbon Anodes

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A scalable strategy utilizing native impurities in bamboo lignin black liquor is proposed to construct a closed‐pore, rich hard carbon. Controlled impurity removal and high‐temperature reconstruction enable the conversion of open pores into abundant closed pores, thereby promoting sodium cluster storage.

Leaf Area Index Estimation of Grassland Based on UAV-Borne Hyperspectral Data and Multiple Machine Learning Models in Hulun Lake Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter reflecting the crown structure of the grassland. Accurately obtaining LAI is of great significance for estimating carbon sinks in grassland ecosystems.

Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

How to reduce sampling error in species population monitoring: from theory to methods

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Progress towards national and international targets to halt and reverse declines in species' abundances will be assessed using multispecies indicators (MSIs). A distinction must be drawn between two MSIs. One is the ideal, but unobserved, MSI that would have been measured had all species and sites within the scope of the target been sampled.

Effects of heifers and sheep grazing on herbage production on a previously abandoned grassland

open access: yes, 2016
Large areas of cultivated grassland are annually abandoned and no longer used for production in Norway. Such areas will over time be encroached by shrubs and trees, which is regarded as undesirable.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.
