Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function
Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental problems are typically vast, urgent and complex. Confronted with such problems, we are often tempted to act fast by pulling together little bits and pieces from different fields and simply adding these to pre‐existing models and frameworks.

Seeing both heritage and resource: A relational approach to forest owners' decision‐making
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The loss of forest habitats calls for a change in the intensity and scale at which forests are managed. With voluntary policies on the rise, there is greater focus on understanding the motivations of private forest owners. While private forest management is likely driven by both economic and non‐economic factors, previous literature has paid ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can
