A holistic framework for wetland placement and ecosystem service delivery by integrating landscape connectivity and participatory decision analysis in two Swedish catchments

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: This study focuses on two catchments in Uppsala County, Sweden, Hågaån and Enköpingsån, which differ in landscape morphology, land use, and hydrological characteristics. Both catchments drain into Lake Mälaren, a vital water resource in the

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Climate-driven hydrological connectivity alters littoral and ice-covered ecosystems of Antarctic lake margins

Frontiers in Freshwater Science
Climate-driven glacial melt is altering polar ecosystems. Shifts in hydrological regimes have cascading effects on limno-terrestrial ecosystems. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys (Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica), year-round ice cover isolates lentic ...

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Droughts and human impact in the ancient Uaymil region of the Maya lowlands inferred from a 2800‐year sedimentary archive at Lake Kaná, Mexico

Boreas, EarlyView.
The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...
