Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

A reconnaissance geochemical drainage survey of the Criffel-Dalbeattie granodiorite complex and its environs [PDF]

, 1977
Regional geochemical reconnaissance by stream sediments and panned concentrates was undertaken over an area of 850 km 2 of south-west Scotland. Rocks of Ordovician to Permian age are exposed within the area but the major part is occupied by the ...

Wall‐to‐wall Amazon forest height mapping with Planet NICFI, Aerial LiDAR, and a U‐Net regression model

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tree canopy height is a key indicator of forest biomass and structure, yet accurate mapping across the Amazon remains challenging. Here, we generated a canopy height map of the Amazon forest at ~4.8 m resolution using Planet NICFI imagery and a deep learning U‐Net model trained with airborne LiDAR data.

From Waste to Value: A Data‐Driven Framework for Sustainable Raw Materials Substitution in the Ceramic Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing geopolitical risks, environmental pressures, and regulatory demands, the sustainable sourcing of raw materials has become a global priority for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites.
