Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract The Humboldt River, in Northern Nevada, USA, is a source of water for agricultural, municipal, and industrial uses. Mining has been active in Nevada since the 1800s. The recognition that groundwater withdrawal for many purposes—including mining—has the potential to deplete streamflow has prompted studies of the Humboldt River Basin.

Groundwater, EarlyView.Karst spring discharge trend (the change in discharge over a period greater than 30 years for each spring) does not depend on discharge variability. Insets show two springs with contrasting discharge variability (variable vs. extremely high variability) but similar discharge trends.
