Testate Amoeba Functional Traits and Their Use in Paleoecology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland ...

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).

Human-induced changes in Indonesian peatlands increase drought severity

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Indonesian peatlands are critical to the global carbon cycle, but they also support a large number of local economies. Intense forest clearing and draining in these peatlands is causing severe ecological and environmental impacts.

How can ecosystem services scenarios inform forest planning?—Seven lessons from Leanachan Forest, Scotland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There are growing societal expectations that forests are managed for multiple benefits including carbon storage, biodiversity, health and recreation. Consequently, forest managers are increasingly expected to consider how external factors, including climate change, affect the future of their forests and the wider public benefits they provide ...

Place attachment and attitudes to landscape change for tree planting and net zero

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract To reach net zero by 2050 the Paris Agreement on Climate Change recommended tree cover expansion and tree planting to support Nationally Determined Contributions. We use place attachment in the context of historical events to explore landscape change and attitudes towards tree planting.

Charge towards green finance ignores risks of nature commodification: Evidence from the UK's climate and nature recovery policy landscape

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The urgent need for up‐scaled finance has become central to the climate and nature recovery discourses worldwide. With most existing investments coming from public sources, closing the financing gap has become the overpowering argument for calling for private investments into nature restoration and conservation.

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two Millennia. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This study reveals unprecedented burning in tropical peatlands during the 20th century, mainly expressed in the Indomalayan and Australasian regions, emphasising regional variability in peatland burning and its links to modern human activities. Before this period, tropical peatland burning largely followed changes in global temperature and was ...

Herbarium digitisation sheds light on historical distribution and drivers of population extinction of a peat bog specialist

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.
