Changes in the transformative potential of action proposals in Finnish Red Lists from 1986 to 2019
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Red lists provide critical knowledge regarding biodiversity decline, especially in Finland, where broad assessments have been made regularly since the 1980s. They deliver information on the threat status of species and ecosystems, propose actions to guide conservation policy, and have the potential to spur transformative change.

Insect 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 ...

Facilitating new livelihoods to promote peatland restoration in Indonesia - what are the challenges for ensuring sustainable and equitable livelihood transitions? [PDF]
Much of the peatland in Central Kalimantan is highly degraded because it has been cleared and drained over the last 30–40 years. Degraded peatland is highly susceptible to burning and oxidation and contributes 30–60 % of the annual greenhouse gas ...

Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Peatland carbon chemistry, amino acids and protein preservation in biogeochemically distinct ecohydrologic layers [PDF]
Peatlands play a significant role in global carbon and nitrogen cycles due to their carbon storage capabilities. However, there are key knowledge gaps in our understanding of how peatland hydrology influences the biogeochemical properties that drive ...

, 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 ...
