Community‐Managed Systems as Nature‐Based Solutions: Effects of Elevation and Size on Floral Richness and Carbon Stock of Sacred Groves in Kerala, India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limiting global warming to 1.5°C–2°C requires rapid reductions in atmospheric carbon, highlighting the need to conserve ecosystems with high carbon stock potential. Sacred groves are culturally protected forest fragments maintained through traditional practices and represent community‐managed landscapes with significant potential as nature ...

Post‐Mining Conservation Measures for Erosion Control: A Global Assessment of Their Effectiveness on Runoff and Soil Erosion Reduction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities severely disturb land surfaces and hydrological processes, intensifying hillslope erosion and soil loss. To evaluate the effectiveness of post‐mining restoration measures and identify the factors regulating their performance, we compiled a global dataset of runoff and soil erosion yield from 58 studies spanning multiple mine ...

Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Weaving everyday environmental heritage into modern conservation policy: Insights from Indigenous communities in northern Thailand

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Signatories of global conservation treaties have pledged to support Indigenous peoples' rights and roles in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystems. Movements embracing biocultural concepts (e.g. Indigenous ecological knowledge, cultural ecosystem services) and governance approaches (e.g. sacred natural sites, biosphere reserves) have provided

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

MicroRNA‐130a‐3p Targets the Androgen‐Related Transcription Factor MAFB: Effects on Proliferation, Migration, Apoptosis, and Cell Cycle in Hypospadias

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
MicroRNA‐130a‐3p targets and inhibits MAFB expression, leading to the development of hypospadimas. MicroRNA‐130a‐3p inhibits the expression of MAFB, disrupts the normal processes of cell proliferation, migration, cell apoptosis, and cycle progression, and ultimately leads to the development of hypospadias.

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.
