The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Dynamic Interactions Among Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Systems: Insights From a Panel Vector Autoregression Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the dynamic interactions among climate conditions, land use, energy consumption, water resources, population dynamics, and economic growth within the Climate–Land–Energy–Water (CLEW) nexus across 137 countries from 2000 to 2023.

The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal

Weather, EarlyView.
From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Ecohydrological characteristics of biocrusts explain divergent responses of biocrusts and grasses to rainfall reduction

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...

Agricultural Vulnerability Assessment: Climate and Non‐Climate Interactions in Crop Production Systems

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent climate phenomena show that Spain is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts, with varied regional effects from flash floods to drought. This study assesses the vulnerability of four major crops (cereal, rice, grape and olive) in Catalonia to climate change through a comprehensive vulnerability index incorporating

Climatic conditions, landscape, and habitat quality drive patch occupancy and larval density of a threatened mire butterfly

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.
