Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

The effect of vegetation patterns on Aeolian mass flux at regional scale: a wind tunnel study [PDF]

, 2012
Although insight on the effect of vegetation pattern on Aeolian mass transport is essential for re-planting degraded land, only limited knowledge on this effect is available.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Highly erosive glaciers on Mars - the role of water [PDF]

, 2018
International audiencePolewards of 30 • in each hemisphere, the surface of Mars hosts a suite of landforms reminiscent of glacial landscapes on Earth. Amongst these landforms are: 1) Viscous Flow Features (VFF), which resemble glaciers on Earth and are ...

A new species of jewel‐babbler (Cinclosomatidae: Ptilorrhoa) from the Southern Fold Mountains of Papua New Guinea

Ibis, EarlyView.
Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.

An Assessment of Landscape Evolution Through Pedo-Geomorphological Mapping and Predictive Classification Using Random Forest: A Case Study of the Statherian Natividade Basin, Central Brazil

Geosciences
Understanding the relationship between geological and geomorphological processes is essential for reconstructing landscape evolution. This study examines how geology and geomorphology shape landscape development in central Brazil, focusing on the ...

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

Adaptive governance and ecological restoration: lessons from three Australian regulatory frameworks

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration has gained significant international traction as a response to biodiversity loss and climate change across the globe. Regulation can be a key factor in facilitating ecological restoration and the successful recovery of ecosystems; however, regulation for ecological restoration is still emerging at both ...

Terrestrial glacial eskers: Analogs for Martian sinuous ridges [PDF]

A glacial model was introduced last year for the Argyre region, a concept which is now extended, and which was recently integrated with a Global Hydrologic Model incorporating many other aspects of Martian geology. Despite wide agreement that the Martian

Subaqueous “yardangs”: analogs for aeolian yardang evolution

, 2013
Landforms, morphologically similar to aeolian yardangs but formed by erosion of bedrock by currents on an estuarine rock platform, are described for the first time. The geometries of the “yardangs” are described and related to semi-lemniscate shapes that
