Potential synergies between existing multilateral environmental agreements in the implementation of Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry activities [PDF]

There is potential for synergy between the global environmental conventions on climate change, biodiversity and desertification: changes in land management and land use undertaken to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions can simultaneously deliver positive

Effects of parachute science on local research capacity 降落伞科学对当地研究能力的影响

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Strengthening research capacity is essential to address the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, parachute science often undermines this goal, and its prevalence, costs, and benefits are unclear. We analyzed 13,502 publications on primate research that we extracted from Scopus (1960–2022) to evaluate the effects of parachute science on local ...

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Data-Driven Spatial Analysis of Reforestation in Pakistan: Identifying Optimal Locations for Sustainable Forest Growth and Climate Change Mitigation

IEEE Access
As the world’s second-largest carbon storehouse after oceans, forests mitigate global warming and its associated climate change challenges. Hence, forest conservation efforts such as reforestation are crucial in maintaining this vital ecological ...

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

The hole in the doughnut: Formalizing and testing a key model of degrowth

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Degrowth scholars often claim that capitalism generates social and ecological imbalances, as captured by Kate Raworth's leading doughnut model. We formalize this model using social and environmental indices and measure imbalances using their coefficient of variation.

A Bioeconomic Rationale for the Expansion of Tree Planting by Upland Philippine Farmers [PDF]

Upland farmers have long been cast as key actors of deforestation, but in the wake of timber scarcity brought on by deforestation and logging restrictions, many have adopted a new role--tree planters.

Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

Observational Evidences in the Effects of Large‐Scale Reforestation on Precipitation

Water Resources Research
Reforestation is widely recognized for its potentials to enhance downwind precipitation. However, this claim is largely based on climate models or estimates derived from global water budgets. Given the significance of this subject, scientific communities
