Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how natural climate solutions (NCS) are institutionalised through carbon market governance in tropical contexts, focusing on Brazil's emerging Emissions Trading System (SBCE). It contributes to debates on the effectiveness, equity and governance of nature‐based climate action by analysing how carbon market instruments ...

The ecological effects of grazing by the White Rhino (Ceratotherium simum simum) at a landscape scale [PDF]
, 2005 In this thesis I generated hypotheses concerning the top down effect of grazing ungulates on grass communities and fire behavior from work done within grazing exclosures in Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park.

The Land Chief’s embers: ethnobotany of Batéké fire regimes, savanna vegetation and resource use in Gabon [PDF]
, 2010 Anthropogenic fire regimes and society are linked: social change modifies fire application which then impacts ecosystems. In the past 40 years, savanna burning has changed markedly around the world as policies, laws, and cultures change.

Impacts of fire and herbivory on soil nutrient cycling and microbial communities in savanna ecosystems [PDF]
Savanna vegetation dynamics are driven by fire, herbivory, and climate, but their effects on soil properties are poorly understood. Specifically, the potential individual and interactive impacts of these drivers on the soil biogeochemical resilience ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study investigated ENSO effects on rainfall variability and rangeland productivity across Limpopo Province, South Africa, using DMP and ONI data for 1999–2024. Productivity was higher in eastern and southern regions and lower in northern and western regions.

The Neogene Savannas of North America: A Retrospective Analysis on Artiodactyl Faunas
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Savanna-like ecosystems were present at high latitudes in North America during much of the Neogene. Present-day African savannas, like the Serengeti, have been proposed to be modern analogs of these paleosavannas, particularly those from the middle ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.

Structural differences in mammal assemblages between savanna ecosystems of the Colombian Llanos
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019 The Colombian Orinoquia region is characterized by a high diversity of mammals, which is associated with complex ecosystems that include large extensions of Neotropical savannas (known locally as “Llanos Orientales”).

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.
