State‐and‐transition models as a contextual framework for leading indicators of restoration trajectories

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1345-1358, May 2026.
Abstract New incentives and instruments for financing ecosystem restoration require frameworks that support planning, monitoring and reporting, including the identification and use of leading indicators. Leading indicators have the potential to predict the outcomes of restoration interventions before full recovery has occurred.

Spectral Discrimination of Common Karoo Shrub and Grass Species Using Spectroscopic Data

Remote Sensing
Rangelands represent about 25% of the Earth’s land surface but are under severe pressure. Rangeland degradation is a gradually increasing global environmental problem, resulting in temporary or permanent loss of ecosystem functions.

Polyethylene tarping elevates temperature and reduces emergence of Phloeosinus punctatus LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from giant sequoia debris piles

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 265-269, May 2026.
Phloeosinus bark beetles may build up large populations in branch debris piles and stress giant sequoia trees. Covering debris piles with polyethylene sheeting increased the mean ambient temperature in piles and reduced beetle emergence. This was mediated by canopy structure, where ambient temperatures were further elevated under open canopies.

Effects of Excessive Grazing of Livestock on Soil Organic Carbon Changes in Kermanshah Province [PDF]

جغرافیا و پایداری محیط, 2013
Excessive grazing of livestock is an important parameter in degradation of vegetationand soil erosion in rangeland. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of trapping on Organic carbon storage of soil.

Re‐Use or Refuse? The Stability of Para‐Aminopropiophenone (PAPP) and Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) in Canid Pest Ejector Capsules

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Toxins for vertebrate pest control in bait material degrade under field conditions but there are limited data available on the degradation of toxins used in canid pest ejectors (hereafter ejectors). Re‐use of non‐activated capsules would be practical for end‐users and support the optimal and cost‐efficient use of vertebrate toxins.

Opportunistic Recharge Enhancement in Arid and Semi‐Arid Regions

Groundwater, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 263-277, May/June 2026.
Groundwater supplies are increasingly stressed by climatic trends and multiple competing uses, especially in dryland environments. We propose opportunistic recharge enhancement (ORE) as a cross‐disciplinary, scalable framework to augment groundwater supplies by strategically integrating recharge co‐benefits into existing land and water management ...

Traditional Micropatches, Plant Diversity, and Local Perceptions of Rangeland Degradation in Northeastern Ethiopia

Journal of Landscape Ecology
In East Africa, Ethiopia’s rangelands constitute about 64 % of lowland areas, serving as primary feed resources for pastoral communities. However, these rangelands face severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate variability, human disturbance, and ...

Effects of low‐tech, process‐based restoration on riparian plant communities and soil moisture of streams in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the United States

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Process‐based restoration is novel in livestock production systems of the Northern Great Plains (NGP), and limited region‐specific evidence can impede adoption. We investigated the effects of methods such as beaver dam analogs (BDAs) on NGP plant communities.
