Behaviour Identification in Farmed Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Using Wearable Activity Collars
Wearable sensors such as accelerometers have shown promise in identifying a range of behaviours in ruminant livestock for welfare and production purposes. The research and production of wearables have primarily focused on delivering to the dairy and beef cattle industries.

Evaluating Fire Indices for Fire Ignition and Spread Rate in the Western United States
Abstract Wildfires are complex events that are challenging to model. Researchers and land managers often rely on fire indices as a proxy of fire risk in operational forecasts and future projections. However, in the scientific literature, the choice of which fire index to use is often arbitrary and not tied to specific fire behaviors. Here, we provide a

Hot Droughts Increase the Likelihood and Impacts of Abrupt Drought‐to‐Pluvial Transitions Worldwide
Abstract Hot droughts are intensifying under anthropogenic warming, yet whether extreme heat systematically alters the triggering of abrupt drought‐to‐pluvial transitions and their downstream impacts remains poorly understood. Here, we identify global drought‐to‐pluvial abrupt transition (DPAT) events and isolate the influence of antecedent thermal ...

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

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