Is 500m2 an effective plot size to sample floristic diversity for Queensland’s vegetation? [PDF]

, 2013
Species area curves from 37 sites spanning the diversity of native vegetation in Queensland were examined. For the majority of sites investigated a 500 m2 plot captured about 80–90% of the vascular plant species present at the time of sampling. Floristic

Using Aerial LiDAR Data to Map Vegetation Structural Types in Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands

Remote Sensing
Rangelands occupy over half of the Earth’s terrestrial surface and play an important role in supporting biodiversity and livelihoods. However, widespread degradation—particularly in arid and semi-arid regions—has compromised their ecological function ...

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Spatiotemporal mapping of agricultural drought using geospatial approach in the East Bale Zone, Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Agricultural drought significantly threatens food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem stability, especially in regions prone to drought, such as the East Bale zone. This study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of agricultural drought over 30 years (1993–2024) by combining meteorological station data with satellite‐derived ...

Gendered Relational Climate Information Services and Kenyan Pastoralist Adaptation

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Climate Information Services in Kenyan pastoralist communities operate through socio‐technical arrangements shaped by gendered power relations and material infrastructures. Access, interpretation, and use of forecasts depend on legitimacy within communal arenas, gatekeeping through devices and institutions, and translation processes aligned with ...
