White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Northern bobwhites associated with native grass and shrubs have improved survival

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Survival rates of adult northern bobwhites were improved by a combination of grazed native warm‐season grasses and well‐interspersed shrubs. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands conservation strategy to create habitat ...

Asynchronous Response of Plant Productivity and Soil Aggregate Nutrients to Grazing Exclusion Duration in Alpine Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grazing exclusion is a critical restoration measure for degraded alpine steppe ecosystems. However, research remains limited on the key factors influencing soil aggregates that affect plant productivity and the mechanisms influencing nutrient distribution across aggregates of different size fractions during long‐term grazing exclusion.

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Local and Tele‐Coupling Coordination Relationships Between Urban Resilience and Ecosystem Health in the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Region and Analysis of Their Influencing Factors

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban resilience and ecosystem health are essential foundations for regional sustainable development, yet their coupled and coordinated relationships remain insufficiently explored at the urban‐agglomeration scale. Taking the 13 prefecture‐level cities in the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei urban agglomeration as the study area and using panel data for ...
