Engineering habits of mind in preschool children at Scottish forest nurseries and Australian bush kinders

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature‐based learning environments for early childhood are expanding, as is research into their affordances and pedagogies. Engineering in these environments is not well studied. Previous work considered engineering experiences through the lens of ‘designerly play’, finding that natural materials, the space for larger creations and ...

Impact of land conservation status on soil functionality in degraded versus old‐growth forest in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
Preserved forests of Ocotea porosa exhibited improved soil functionality with higher levels of soil organic matter (6.56%), exchangeable cations (e.g., Ca2+ at 3.87 cmolc kg−1), and enhanced physical properties, such as soil aggregation, than degraded forests in the Atlantic Forest biome.

Telomere‐to‐telomere reference genome reveals subgenome divergence and large structural variants in Capsella bursa‐pastoris (Brassicaceae)

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
This study presents a subgenome‐resolved telomere‐to‐telomere reference genome of Capsella bursa‐pastoris, named Cbp_T2T, constructed using PacBio HiFi reads, Nanopore ultra‐long reads, and Hi‐C data. Notable divergences were observed between its subgenomes, and comparative genomics identified two large inversions within the species.

Terrestrial vertebrates as surrogates for selecting conservation areas in a biodiversity hotspot in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019
Systematic conservation planning (SCP) identifies priority areas for biodiversity conservation using surrogates for adequate representation of biodiversity content. The use of multiple well‐known taxonomic groups rather than single ones as a surrogate set is expected to enable a better representation of most important biodiversity constituents in ...

Meta‐analysis of management effects on biodiversity in plantation and secondary forests of Japan

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019
Conservation of temperate forest biodiversity has historically focused on natural old‐growth. Less than 3% of the world's temperate forests remain unmodified by humans, however, and much of temperate‐forest biodiversity is held in the predominating planted and secondary forests.

From Diversity to Confusion? The Challenge of Biodiversity Footprint Quantification

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study documents a significant disagreement between the biodiversity footprints of three major providers. This disagreement mainly stems from fundamental disagreement on the underlying methods and data (measurement), while providers agree to a large part on which firm operations contribute to a loss in biodiversity and how they are ...
