Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Modelling and mapping rainfall erosivity in New South Wales, Australia

open access: yes, 2015
Considerable seasonal and inter-annual changes exist in rainfall amount and intensity in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. These changes are expected to have significant effect on rainfall erosivity and soil erosion by water, but the magnitude of the ...

Efficacy of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis: A Systematic Review With Meta‐analysis

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) plays a central role in the management of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS); however, outcomes vary across studies. The goal of this study is to systematically review and synthesize evidence on the outcomes of ESS in patients with AFRS.

Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Social cohesion in restoration landscapes: The case of Rwanda

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem restoration is recognized as a strategy for addressing landscape degradation. In contexts where ecological degradation overlaps with the deterioration of social cohesion, restoration must also contribute to rebuilding social ties alongside restoring ecosystems.
