Delivering resilience for people and nature in Anthropocene landscapes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The concept of resilience is widespread in strategies for enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, but, in practice, resilience means different things in different socio‐ecological and policy contexts and to different people. In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of ...

Fire effects on the composition of soil seed bank and soil properties in Iran

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Fire is a frequent phenomenon in rangelands and because of its complicated and different effects on natural ecosystems, it has great importance. Awareness of such fire effects on vegetation cover in point of rangeland management after fire is important ...

Effects of prescribed fire on Cope’s Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) across habitat scales and life stages [PDF]

, 2017
Fire may alter both aquatic and terrestrial habitat used by all amphibian life stages, yet, our knowledge of its effects on amphibians is primarily limited to adult responses. I present an integrated approach to test the response of Cope’s Gray Treefrog (

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Land‐use and wildlife management are changing globally as part of efforts to address contemporary environmental challenges. In the Scottish Highlands, the hunting—or ‘stalking’—of deer has entered a period of considerable flux primarily because of national policy changes to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.

Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...
