An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Translating the 10 golden rules of reforestation for coral reef restoration. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Efforts are accelerating to protect and restore ecosystems globally. With trillions of dollars in ecosystem services at stake, no clear framework exists for developing or prioritizing approaches to restore coral reefs even as efforts and investment opportunities to do so grow worldwide.

Histologic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic differences in fir trees from a peri-urban forest under chronic ozone exposure. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUrbanization alters ecosystems and evolutionary processes. Processes like air pollution by tropospheric ozone contribute to the decline of urban and peri‐urban ecosystems, such as Abies religiosa forests in the peripheral mountains southwest of Mexico City.

Improving climate and biodiversity outcomes through restoration of forest integrity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Targeting degraded areas in forested landscapes for restoration could deliver rapid climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation, improve resilience of forested lands to future climate change, and potentially reduce the trade‐offs between nature recovery and agriculture.

Defining biodiverse reforestation: Why it matters for climate change mitigation and biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 27-38, January 2023., 2023 Mixed species plantings present an attractive alternative to monoculture reforestation through their added benefits to biodiversity. Yet there is ambiguity in the use of the term ‘biodiversity’ in carbon and biodiversity markets, which may create perverse outcomes when designing schemes and projects.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1146-1159, September 2022., 2022 Understanding the heterogeneity of biomass accumulation in second‐growth tropical forests following land use abandonment is important for informing ecosystem carbon models and forest restoration efforts. Using airborne lidar data, we quantify patterns and controls on aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022 The hooded capuchin in the Paraguayan Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest is a forest obligate species and avoids crop fields. The monkeys are less likely to be found in degraded areas even if they are still forested. As Paraguayan deforestation involves the creation of large crop fields separating BAAPA fragments, the probability that the hooded capuchin can

Displacing (in)formality: endangered species, endangered city, and unstable grounds of comparison
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 516-536, June 2022., 2022 Abstract In this article, which is based on ethnographic fieldwork among fog oasis conservationists in Lima, Peru, I show how emergent ethics of conservation become enmeshed with discourses on (in)formality. I demonstrate this by framing contemporary concerns about the endangerment of species endemic to Lima against the background of more long‐running ...
