Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Climatic thresholds and temporal decoupling drive reproductive phenology in Neotropical cloud forests: a 36‐year analysis

Ecography, EarlyView.
Reproductive phenology influences ecosystem functioning and climate sensitivity in tropical montane cloud forests, but phase‑specific climatic thresholds and the temporal coupling between flowering and fruiting remain poorly quantified over decadal scales. We analyzed a 36‑year monthly record (1983–2018) from a Venezuelan cloud forest (15 focal species)

Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Carbon Markets and Natural Climate Solutions in Brazil: Institutional Coherence Across Biodiversity, Land‐Use and Territorial Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how natural climate solutions (NCS) are institutionalised through carbon market governance in tropical contexts, focusing on Brazil's emerging Emissions Trading System (SBCE). It contributes to debates on the effectiveness, equity and governance of nature‐based climate action by analysing how carbon market instruments ...

Operational and environmental barriers to centralized composting in two small Brazilian municipalities: A longitudinal study

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Municipal solid waste management in small cities faces severe logistical and financial barriers regarding organic fraction treatment. This study evaluates biological selective collection in two small Brazilian municipalities (Astorga and Sabáudia), comparing dynamics between gated communities (GC) and public thoroughfares (PT) over an annual ...

Comparison between environmental impacts generated during the implementation phase of a hydroelectric power plant and a photovoltaic power plant

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study analyzes the environmental impacts associated with the implementation phase of a photovoltaic power plant, comparing them to the impacts of a hydroelectric power plant, based on real data obtained from Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and Environmental Impact Reports (RIMA).

Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...
