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.

Nature-based solutions for atoll habitability

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2022
Abstract Atoll societies have adapted their environments and social systems for thousands of years, but the rapid pace of climate change may bring conditions that exceed their adaptive capacities. There is growing interest in the use of ‘nature-based solutions' to facilitate the continuation of dignified and meaningful lives on atolls

Seagrass monitoring methods: Aligning expert opinion with practice

iScience
Summary: Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems, yet methods to monitor their health lack standardization, which makes data comparison challenging. To identify key approaches and evaluate alignment with expert opinion, we compared the most used health ...
