Mesoscale Covariation in the Plant–Soil Neighbourhood of a South African Montane Grassland

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant–soil relationships are the foundation of terrestrial life, sustaining global ecosystems through biomass and food production, nutrient cycling and microbial activity, and ecosystem regulation. To better understand plant–soil relationships in a changing world, we investigated mesoscale covariation in the plant–soil neighbourhood of a South

Soil Seed Bank Holds Some Potential for Natural Regeneration in a Semi‐Arid Rangeland

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural regeneration of degraded lands can be facilitated by the recruitment of plant species from the soil seed bank. However, the composition of soil seed banks in arid Australia has seldom been studied. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying the soil seed bank of chenopod shrubland and remnant Acacia aneura (mulga) stands in an ex ...

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Connecting and coordinating conservation action across landscapes through regional planning processes and syntheses

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Midwest Conservation Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation, reflecting a diverse set of 20+ social and environmental values. Its purpose is to help coordinate voluntary conservation actions and investments across a broad scale.

Are we there yet? Reliable occupancy modeling from AI‐labeled trail camera data

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Even low false‐positive rates in AI‐labeled camera‐trap data can bias occupancy estimates, particularly for rare species. Our results show that false positive informed occupancy models can substantially improve inference, underscoring the need to evaluate AI classifiers according to the assumptions of downstream ecological analyses.
