Carbon prospecting in tropical forests for climate change mitigation

Nature Communications, 2021
Investing in forest protection is a way to generate tradable carbon credits to support biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Here the authors assess and map the global supply of tropical forest carbon credits with the goal of informing

Biodiversity outcomes of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation: Characterising the evidence base

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognised for their potential to address both the climate and biodiversity crises. Both these outcomes rely on the capacity of NbS to support and enhance the health of an ecosystem: its biodiversity, the ...

High sedimentation rates lead to rapid vegetation recovery in tidal brackish wetland restoration

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionTidal wetland restoration in the Bay of Fundy involves restoring tidal hydrology to sites with tidal restrictions. Most have focused on salt marsh sites close to the mouth of estuaries, but there are also many tidally restricted wetlands ...

Controlling the properties of the micellar and gel phase by varying the counterion in functionalised-dipeptide systems [PDF]

, 2020
The micellar aggregates formed at high pH for dipeptide-based gelators can be varied by using different alkali metal salts to prepare the solutions.

The Effect of Pollen on Coral Health

Biology, 2023
Corals are facing a range of threats, including rises in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification. Some now argue that keeping corals ex situ (in aquaria), may be not only important but necessary to prevent local extinction, for example in the ...

Global urban reforestation can be an important natural climate solution

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The climate mitigation potential of urban nature-based solutions (NBSs) is often perceived as insignificant and thus overlooked, as cities primarily pursue NBSs for local ecosystem services.
