Effects of compost application on soil macrofauna and soil functions in oil palm plantation – Biofunctool® approach [PDF]
, 2019 Oil palm produces about 38.7% of all vegetable oil (palm oil and palm kernel oil, 2016) and its cultivation area reach in 18.7 million ha worldwide (mature plantations) in 2017.

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, EarlyView.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Cautionary Tales for Science‐Based Policy in Deep‐Sea Mining Governance
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines how low‐certainty scientific claims permeate high‐stakes policy debates before rigorous validation. Using deep‐sea mining governance as a focal domain, the study traces high‐visibility narratives, including the “dark oxygen” hypothesis, radioactive risks of polymetallic nodules, projected impacts of sediment plume ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Soil macrofauna in relation to soil and leaf litter properties in tree plantations
Journal of Forest Science, 2012 Soil communities exert strong influences on the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Plantations of trees, especially of nitrogen fixing ones, may affect the soil macrofauna through litter quality and quantity.

Ibis, EarlyView.Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.
