A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).

LandVoluntary carbon markets open horizons for private companies, public institutions, and individuals developing CO2 removal projects in peatlands to reduce overall carbon footprint. These steps, however, should be in line with appropriate rewetting targets.

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017 Often referred to as the “Third Pole,” China's Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau developed large amounts of peatland owing to its unique alpine environment. As a renewable resource, peat helps to regulate the climate as well as performing other important functions.

, 2010 Peatlands are an important natural archive for past climatic changes, primarily due to their sensitivity to changes in the water balance and the dating possibilities of peat sediments. In addition, peatlands are an important sink as well as potential source of greenhouse gases.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem services and human well‐being. Understanding the extent and causes of changes in biodiversity over time can help protect species and their habitats. Herbaria house carefully documented and curated specimens collected by generations of botanists.

Measuring Strategic, Tactical, Complex and Simple Changes to Farm Systems
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture is under increasing pressure to redesign farm systems. Governments are increasingly seeking to halt or reverse the damaging effects of agriculture on the environment. Adapting to climate change requires reconfiguring farm systems to withstand more variable, and historically more extreme, seasonal conditions and the constant demand ...

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Restoration of blanket peatlands [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2014 There is concern that ecosystem services provided by blanket peatlands have come under threat due to increasing degradation. Blanket peatlands are subject to a wide range of drivers of degradation and are topographically variable. As a result, many degradation forms can develop, including those resulting from eroding artificial drainage, incising ...
