Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

How Passive Acoustic and Traditional Monitoring Estimate Bird Diversity Across Habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared traditional bird counts (PC) with passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a heterogeneous Alpine landscape. PAM recorded twice as many species, with a strong correlation between species richness and the bird counts (rs = 0.71); however, there were significant differences depending on habitat type.

Indigenous Relational Thought and Climate Crisis Response: Rethinking Human‐Environment Relations Beyond Technocratic Governance

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is frequently framed as a technical problem of emissions, risk, finance, adaptation planning, and institutional coordination. This critical integrative review, supported by scoping‐informed searching and transparent eligibility and synthesis procedures, examines how selected Indigenous relational literatures can deepen climate ...

Aftermath of the Forest Carbon Credit Crisis as Experienced by Restoration and Conservation Organisations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2023, The Guardian reported on several scientific studies denouncing the role of certain forest carbon credits in mitigating climate change. Subsequently, credit prices on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) plummeted—providing a quantitative indication of its impact.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...
