Is the Implementation of Cocoa Companies' Forest Policies on Track to Effectively and Equitably Address Deforestation in West Africa?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical forests play a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development goals by contributing to climate stability, conserving biodiversity and sustaining livelihoods. However, forests are disappearing due to agricultural expansion. In West Africa, cocoa production is a major driver of deforestation.

Influence of Carbon Material Properties on Slag‐Foaming Dynamics in Electric Arc Furnaces: A Review

steel research international, EarlyView.
This article examines how the properties of the carbon materials affect the slag foaming, emphasizing the need for strategies to improve the effectiveness of biochar, such as pelletizing or blending with coke. Biocoke appears as promising but underexplored option for enhancing slag foaming.

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Pollination in a fire‐prone world: Reduced solar radiation and warming alter plant–pollinator interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change can disrupt ecosystem services such as pollination. Warming increases the frequency and scale of wildfires, leading to smoke‐induced reductions in incident solar radiation, which together may affect plants, pollinators and their interactions. To determine

The algae energy pathway: An emerging mechanism for energy transfer in northern peatlands

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
We synthesized research showing how recent environmental conditions set in place by climate change can govern CO2 emissions by regulating the composition of microbes in northern peatlands. We highlight conditions that favour algal‐mediated carbon uptake and demonstrate how the presence or absence of an algal energy pathway can determine the direction ...

The Existence Value of Peat Swamp Forest in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

Forests form the dominant natural ecosystem in Malaysia. About 55% of Malaysian land area is forested and endows a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Peat swamp forests constitute a significant component of forest and account for about 75% of the country’
