Exploring Uncharted Waters: The Role of Artificial Aquatic Ecosystems in Freshwater Science

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The world's farms and cities house an abundance of human‐made waters, including farm dams, stormwater ponds, constructed wetlands, and ditches: known collectively as “artificial aquatic ecosystems.” In this viewpoint we challenge the entrenched idea that human‐made waters have limited ecological value, discuss the disconnect between the functioning of ...

The “Magic” of Conflict: How Participatory Governance Can Enable Transformative Climate Adaptation

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 594-610, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In many cases, addressing climate risks requires transformative climate adaptation (TCA) that goes beyond small adjustments to existing systems. While scholars increasingly argue that participatory governance is key and should embrace conflict rather than push for consensus to enable TCA, this assumption remains underexplored.

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

Dual Saturation in Soil Carbon Sequestration: Biophysical Limits and the Operational Capacity of Farmers

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Perspective introduces a dual saturation framework showing that soil carbon sequestration is constrained not only by biophysical limits, but also by social–institutional barriers. Policy complexity, documentation burdens, and operational saturation can restrict farmer adoption and create a mitigation gap, highlighting the importance of stable ...

Prompt active restoration of peatlands substantially reduces climate impact

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Restoration of peatlands after peat extraction could be a benefit to the climate system. However a multi-year ecosystem-scale assessment of net carbon (C) sequestration is needed.

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

Open-access satellite data for peatland condition and restoration monitoring in the UK: a review

Frontiers in Environmental Science
This paper presents a literature review of satellite remote sensing approaches for monitoring northern peatland condition indicators. First, a set of key climate regulation indicators related to hydrology, vegetation, and terrain changes is identified ...

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1572-1587, June 2026.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Peatland restoration is anticipated to provide climate change mitigation over all time-scales: a UK case-study

Environmental Research Communications
Peatlands provide one of the largest terrestrial carbon stocks in the UK, but a large proportion of peatlands have been drained for peat extraction, agriculture and other uses, turning them into a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...
