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

open access: yesMethods 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.

Ecosystem valuation: Concept, criteria and terminology

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1480-1484, May 2026.
Abstract Furlaud et al. (2026) discussed how to measure ‘ecosystem condition’. Here, we argue that the term ‘ecosystem valuation’ should be preferred. ‘Valuation’ signals clearly that a social or political value judgement is being made about which ecosystem states to rate most highly. Furlaud et al.

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

open access: yesAgricultural 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.

Rainfall timing, forage growth, and insuring forage: Linking producer perceptions to observational data

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 747-770, May 2026.
Abstract The timing and amount of rainfall are crucial in forage growth. Producer perceptions of the rainfall distribution are likely to influence their choices related to the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index insurance program. Because of the scarcity of forage production data, diversity of forage production systems, and climates ...
