PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

No compromise between metabolism and behavior of decorator crabs in reduced pH conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Many marine calcifiers experience metabolic costs when exposed to experimental ocean acidification conditions, potentially limiting the energy available to support regulatory processes and behaviors. Decorator crabs expend energy on decoration camouflage

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

The carbonate pump feedback on alkalinity and the carbon cycle in the 21st century and beyond [PDF]
Earth System DynamicsOcean acidification is likely to impact all stages of the ocean carbonate pump, i.e. the production, export, dissolution and burial of biogenic CaCO3. However, the associated feedback on anthropogenic carbon uptake and ocean acidification has received ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Acidification increases abundances of Vibrionales and Planctomycetia associated to a seaweed-grazer system: potential consequences for disease and prey digestion efficiency [PDF]
, 2018 Ocean acidification significantly affects marine organisms in several ways, with complex interactions. Seaweeds might benefit from rising CO2 through increased photosynthesis and carbon acquisition, with subsequent higher growth rates.
