Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Challenging Mass-Based Exclusion Criteria: The Environmental Significance of Structural Connections in Timber Buildings

BioResources
In environmental impact assessments of buildings, the steel used in wooden structural connections, which are responsible for sustaining shear and tension stresses, is often overlooked yet could account for up to 13% of the total environmental impact over

Global state of knowledge on human-induced sound and vibration events: defining future research directions for mass timber products

Journal of Wood Science
Despite the rise in mass timber buildings globally, challenges remain with timber’s limitations in low-frequency sound and vibration. This is due to timber’s lower density compared to concrete and steel, leading to natural frequencies more susceptible to

Design for adaptability in mass timber: a survey-based analysis of stakeholder roles, digital tools, and decision-making flow

Frontiers in Built Environment
Carbon sequestration benefits of mass timber (MT) buildings are maximized when their lifespan is extended. Designing MT buildings that are durable and capable of future adaptation is recognized as a direct strategy for prolonging carbon storage before ...

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 ...
