Study on the incremental carbon sink of tea plantations under spatio-temporal variation characteristics

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Tea plantation ecosystems have an important function as carbon pools. It is of great significance to clarify the spatial and temporal patterns of carbon sinks in tea plantations, and to analyse the driving factors of carbon sinks in tea plantations, in ...

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

Evaluation of Industrial Plantation Practices in Turkish Forestry

Asian Journal of Applied Sciences
Due to Turkey's developing economy, the demand for wood raw materials is increasing daily. Given that natural forests will face difficulties in meeting this demand in the coming years, the concept of "Industrial Plantation" is assuming a significant role in Turkish forestry.

Narratives of ‘home landscapes’ guide stewardship practices among Swedish forest owners

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Production forests play an important role in addressing many of our current sustainability challenges. Therefore, how these forests are managed and what motivates the people who are managing them are important for sustainability. 47 per cent of forests in Europe are privately owned.

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

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.

Prohibited Plants: Converging Sustainability Transitions and Local Development in ‘Left‐Behind Places’

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between sustainability transitions and local development through the case of Colombia's medicinal cannabis industry. It highlights how neglecting place‐specific needs and development expectations can hinder equitable transitions and reinforce existing socio‐economic disparities.
