Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Codesigning synergies among ecological, social, and economic benefits with landscape‐scale agri‐environmental schemes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global farmland biodiversity is declining rapidly, threatening both natural ecosystems and agricultural production. Although agri‐environmental schemes incentivize farmers to adopt environmentally friendly measures, the spatial mismatch between their local implementation and the landscape‐scale habitat requirements of farmland species has been

Population dynamics and reproductive success of Short‐eared Owls in relation to widely fluctuating food abundance and farmland habitat degradation

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of the Short‐eared Owl Asio flammeus have declined across Europe and North America, probably in response to habitat degradation driven by agricultural intensification. However, long‐term evidence linking farmland habitat change to variation in breeding density and reproductive success remains limited.

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

IEEE 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 ...

Linking EU habitat and species protection through favourable reference areas: Evidence from threatened saproxylic beetles

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Threatened saproxylic beetles occurred significantly more often within EU forest habitats and in landscapes with high habitat density. Achieving Favourable Reference Areas substantially increased habitat availability and improved the projected conservation status of threatened saproxylic beetles.

Amphibians and reptiles from Leyte Sab-a Basin Peatland: A unique wetland habitat in Leyte, Philippines

Annals of Tropical Research
The Leyte Sab-a Basin Peatland (LSBP) is a unique wetland ecosystem that is an important refuge for biodiversity. However, the diversity of wildlife communities in peatland ecosystems, particularly herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles), remains poorly ...

Remaking State Power Through a Paraquat Ban in Malaysia

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of the state in its ability to enact environmental regulations. Specifically, this study investigates how Malaysian state actors changed, shifted and betrayed various, oftentimes competing interests to ban paraquat, an acutely toxic herbicide.

Peatlands of Canada

, 2000
Peatlands, which are dominant features of the Canadian landscape, cover approximately 1136 x 103 km2, or 13% of the land area. These peatlands are essential to the global environment because they retain, purify and deliver fresh water, store carbon, absorb pollutants and support numerous species of plants and wildlife, many of them identified as ...

Concurrent Increases in Root Phosphorus Acquisition and Leaf Phosphorus Resorption Underpin Enhanced Phosphorus Economy in Chickpea During Reproductive Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) acquisition and leaf P‐use strategies are critical for reproductive success and productivity, yet, their developmental association during the reproductive phase remains unclear. Five chickpea accessions contrasting in P‐remobilisation efficiency (PRE) were grown in a temperature‐controlled glasshouse under moderate P deficiency.

An Evaluation of Restoration Techniques for a Small Scale All-Terrain-Vehicle Disturbance in the Lake Charlotte Peatland

, 2010
A peatland near Lake Charlotte, Nova Scotia that had been damaged by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) was identified as a compensatory mitigation site. Restoration practices commonly used for harvested peatlands were applied to small sections of ATV damaged ...
