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 ...

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

River conservation and restoration in croplands: can we improve the common agriculture policy as an instrument of practice?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the integration of river restoration with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), focusing on the differences between European Union (EU) and Portuguese documents regarding river restoration terms. A thematic content analysis highlights that despite the varying document sizes, the proportion of mentions related to river ...

Phenolic supplements: testing an approach to limit Sphagnum decomposition in a Sphagnum farming system

Frontiers in Earth Science
Phenolic compounds have been proposed to influence decomposition by inhibiting extracellular enzyme activities, as described in the enzymic latch mechanism (ELM).

Tree planting choices mediate wildfire damage to tropical forest restoration in eastern Madagascar

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Wildfires threaten tropical rainforest conservation and restoration around the world, and they pose a particular risk to the unique species assemblages in eastern Madagascar. Following an intense period of wildfires in 2020–2022 that impacted 33% of 46 tropical forest restoration sites installed by the non‐profit organization Green Again Madagascar ...

Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...

Joint modeling of environmental and species responses to restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration outcomes have often unexplained variation. As environmental variables can both affect the restoration outcome and be affected by restoration, studying the interplay between environmental and species responses can reveal reasons behind the variation.

Strengthening human–nature connections in agricultural landscapes through the EU Nature Restoration Regulation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction With its 2024 Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR), the European Union (EU) aims to halt and reverse the degradation of European ecosystems by restoring 20% of its respective land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need by 2050. By 2027, all member states will have to submit National Restoration Plans (NRPs).

Restoration of forestry‐drained oligotrophic peatlands can bring climate change mitigation within a few decades

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Climate mitigation by peatland restoration is suggested, but data from restored forestry‐drained peatlands (FDP) is sparse. Studies using surrogate emission factors from pristine peatlands have indicated a long‐lasting warming effect of restoration of nutrient‐poor FDPs, while restoration‐specific studies are missing.
