A hierarchical, multi‐sensor framework for peatland sub‐class and vegetation mapping throughout the Canadian boreal forest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Peatlands in the Canadian boreal forest are being negatively impacted by anthropogenic climate change, the effects of which are expected to worsen. Peatland types and sub‐classes vary in their ecohydrological characteristics and are expected to have ...

Water table evaluation post the construction of canal blocks on peatland in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Creating canal network is the first step to do agricultural practice in wetlands that aims to make the wetland dry. The existence of canal network affects the hydrological function of peat ecosystem in West Kalimantan which leads to drought and peatland ...

Late Holocene moisture variability in Arctic Alaska from chitin δ18O

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Amplified warming in the Arctic has resulted in reduced sea‐ice extent, which can impact regional climate dynamics. Elucidating past moisture variability in response to changing temperatures and sea‐ice conditions can offer insight into how anthropogenic climate change may impact Arctic areas such as the Alaskan North Slope in the future. We contribute

Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Spatio-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Mechanism of Alpine Peatland InSAR Surface Deformation—A Case Study of Maduo County, China

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Surface deformation of alpine peatland in China has an important effect on runoff and is of great significance for wetland ecosystem protection. However, spatio-temporal characteristics of alpine peatland surface deformation in China lack systematic ...

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...
