Abstract Governments around the world have committed to ensuring that biodiversity is sustainably used and managed as part of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM‐GBF) adopted to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2050. However, achieving sustainable wildlife management in circumstances when wild animals are consumed as food is an ...

ABSTRACT Macrophytes are vulnerable to various factors in their natural ecosystems, including climatic, ecological, and anthropogenic changes. This study aims to document how these factors influence floristic composition. Four sites were investigated in the Boeny Region of northwest Madagascar: Ambatoboeny, Marovoay, Ankarafantsika National Park, and ...

How Data Uncertainty Influences Estimates of Root Zone Water Storage Capacity
Abstract Root zone water storage capacity (SR ${S}_{R}$) sets the lower limit on the water available to plants and is critical for modeling terrestrial water and carbon fluxes. Due to subsurface heterogeneity in soils, roots, and geology, in‐situ measurements of SR ${S}_{R}$ are infeasible at regional to global scales.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Active Root Zone Storage Revealed From Hybrid Machine Learning
Abstract Water within the root zone regulates water, energy, and carbon exchanges at the land‐atmosphere interface, yet the dynamically active portion of subsurface water that ecosystems mobilize for evapotranspiration (ET) remains unclear, because it represents only part of the total subsurface storage.

The 2023–2024 El Niño as a Preview of Future Tropical Forest Climate
Abstract Tropical forests are an important component of the global carbon cycle. Increasingly frequent droughts and heatwaves are undermining their resilience, with far‐reaching impacts on local livelihoods and on regional and global hydrological cycles.
