Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Monitoring programs of vulnerable megafauna increasingly rely on aerial surveys from drones or planes fitted with cameras. However, automated methods are still lacking to accurately count individuals across entire surveys. Here, we leverage a tracking‐by‐detection framework to not only detect individuals but also link the resulting detections across ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Image generation models can create synthetic ecological datasets and potentially alleviate limitations from sparse real data. Using 20 tree genera across community‐science and street‐view imagery, we tested whether synthetic images could replace or supplement real data for image classification.

The Transformational STEM Consciousness Scale: A QuantCrit Measure of a Liberatory STEM Outcome
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Guided by QuantCrit, we introduce and validate the Transformational STEM Consciousness (TSC) scale, which fuses students' motivation to pursue racial and social justice through STEM with a critique of STEM's historic complicity in inequity. Surveying 255 undergraduate and graduate students in 18 justice‐integrated STEM courses across 11 US ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although significant efforts have been made to prevent environmental degradation, the success of these initiatives has remained limited. The primary reason for this is environmental issues' complex and multidimensional nature. Economic, political, and social dynamics play a central role in shaping environmental problems, necessitating a ...

Investigating the Digital Effective Criteria for Sustainable Construction in Norway
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The construction industry generates substantial amounts of waste and contributes to increasing the amount of waste in landfills. To reach the Sustainability Development Goals, the construction industry needs to further develop waste management (WM) strategies.
