Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Balancing risk and reward—Perceptions of bats and their ecological role in Reunion island

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Context: Bats provide vital ecosystem services but can also generate disservices or sanitary concerns, particularly where human–bat interactions are frequent. Understanding public perceptions of bats is essential for effective conservation and risk communication.

Spatial Variability of Permafrost and Active Layer Thickness in a Forested Hillslope of the Taiga Shield

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Influence of legume diversification and fertilization on soil potassium pools under distinct cropping system ecologies: insight from 14-years study

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Sustaining levels of soil potassium (K) pools in soils across agro-ecologies are crucial for optimizing nutrient use, prevent K depletion, and ensure long-term soil health.

Soil Management for Better Nutrition of Lowland Rice

Journal of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, 2006
Some experiments were conducted in field conditions at Rampur, Nepal between 2001 and 2003 to assess the potential of wheat straw management with grain and green manure legumes in the lowland areas on soil N dynamics, crop yields and systems’ N balances.

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

Effect of Bio-phosphate on Increasing the Phosphorus Availability, the Growth and the Yield of Lowland Rice in Ultisol

Journal of Tropical Soils, 2010
Ultisol soil is low of macro and micro nutrient, pH and base saturation aswell as high toxicity of Al and Fe. To increase productivity of ultisols soils, especially availability of P nutrients, theuse of bio-phosphate can increase P solubilizing in the ...
