Increasing concentrate feeding level in early lactation dairy cows fed cut herbage linearly decreased methane yield and intensity

Animal Nutrition
The use of supplementary feeds, including concentrates, on New Zealand dairy farms has increased in recent decades and this could have mitigated methane (CH4) emissions by decreasing the forage-to-concentrate ratio. The forage-to-concentrate ratio in the

Aridity mediates the above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity–ecosystem stability relationship

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the macroecological drivers of biodiversity and ecosystem stability, i.e. the ability of an ecosystem to maintain its structure and function, is crucial to inform how ecosystems can be managed and conserved effectively. Here, we conducted a field survey of plant and soil biota (bacteria, fungi, and nematodes) and estimated the temporal ...

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Distinct responses of species structural roles in multi‐trophic interactions to island area and isolation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat loss and fragmentation reshape ecological communities and alter species interactions. However, it remains largely unknown how the roles that species play within interaction networks vary across local communities and trophic contexts in fragmented landscapes. We addressed this question using a plant–aphid–ant system sampled across 18 land‐bridge

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Governing Agriculture or Farmers? Problem Representations of Biodiversity and Farm Loss in Swedens Strategy for the Common Agricultural Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European Union (EU) strategies for food supply address challenges of increasing, or at least maintaining, today's level of agricultural food production. At the same time, European farmland biodiversity continues to deteriorate despite considerable investments in measures to promote environmentally friendly farming practices.

Translating Across Boundaries: The Process of Integrating Forestry Into the German National Water Strategy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory processes are increasingly recognized as essential components of modern environmental governance. While much scholarly attention has been devoted to the design and implementation of such processes, less is known about the critical phase between participatory processes and final policy outputs.

A Geographic Information System (GIS)–CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) Framework for Selecting Solar Photovoltaics Sites: A Case Study

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel framework integrating environmental constraints, topography, infrastructure accessibility, and solar irradiation was developed to identify optimal utility‐scale solar photovoltaics (PV) sites in Lithuania. Western and central Lithuania showed the highest suitability for future solar PV expansion.

Forage chemical composition drives early metabolic shifts in ponies fed different haylages

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rapid changes between feeds can cause dysbiosis and colic in horses. The metabolic consequences of transitioning between haylages (HY) are currently unknown. Objectives To characterise urinary and faecal metabonomics in ponies transitioned between HY varying in botanical composition and physiological age and to evaluate the speed of
