Carbon Accumulation in Tropical Dry Forests and Savannas Despite Widespread Land-Cover Change, Revealed by Radar Remote Sensing. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We map aboveground carbon density (AGCD) across tropical dry forests and savannas at 100 m for 2015–2024 using ALOS‑2 L‑band radar calibrated with field plots. Aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks total 25.3 ± 2 PgC (13% of global AGC) and net AGC is increasing at 0.43 ± 0.07 PgC yr−1 (20% of the land sink).

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

I'll Be Dammed: Efficiency and Cost‐Analysis of a Rehabilitated Prehispanic Dam in the Andes

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Within archaeology there is a growing shift away from the purely aesthetic towards making the past relevant to present and future needs and demands. The Past Water Futures project charts the impact of ancient dam rehabilitation on climate change‐induced water scarcity in the North Central Andes.

Grazing and climate interact to regulate greening trends in Mediterranean grasslands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results show that traditional grazing systems can maintain grassland stability without causing degradation, but they can also increase the ecosystem's vulnerability to climate change. We provide clear evidence that GPS‐based livestock monitoring is a powerful and scalable tool for sustainable rangeland management.
