Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Phenological Flexibility in Nesting Grassland Birds Over a Half Century Informs Timing of Management
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.Using > 170,000 nest records from 44 North American grassland bird species, we quantified how temperature, precipitation, and vegetation phenology shape early, peak, and late nesting across broad spatial gradients. Spatial predictions identify geographic variation in breeding phenology that can inform the timing of management actions under changing ...

Transhumance as a Prism. Toward a Planetary Rural Geography of Mountain Space
Geography Compass, Volume 20, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Transhumance is a marginal—yet crucial—practice within mountain and rural geographies at a global scale. The term refers to a wide range of extensive grazing systems characterized by the seasonal movement of herds and flocks between different altitudes, within diverse governance systems.

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the controls of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) in humid mountainous landscapes is challenging because of strong topo‐climatic and land‐use heterogeneity. This study assessed SOC, SIC, soil pH and the SIC/SOC ratio across 5964 km2 in the Eastern Black Sea region of Türkiye using 1310 topsoil samples ...

Emergent Headwater Types for Watershed Monitoring, Research, and Planning
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Headwaters—that is headwater streams and the watersheds they drain—strongly influence water quality, ecosystem services, and hydrologic connectivity, yet remain poorly mapped, monitored, and understood at large spatial scales. Using available spatial data to classify headwater “types” could therefore enhance the utility of sparse monitoring ...
