Limited biomass recovery from gold mining in Amazonian forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 9, Page 1730-1740, September 2020., 2020
To achieve large‐scale restoration targets, Guyana and other Amazonian countries will be challenged to remediate previously mined lands. The recovery process is highly dependent on nitrogen availability rather than mercury contamination, affecting woody biomass regrowth.

Can avian functional traits predict cultural ecosystem services?

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 138-151, March 2020., 2020
Abstract The functional trait diversity of species assemblages can predict the provision of ecosystem services such as pollination and carbon sequestration, but it is unclear whether the same trait‐based framework can be applied to identify the factors that underpin cultural ecosystem services and disservices. To explore the relationship between traits

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Allocation Strategies in a Chronosequence of Tropical Dry Forests: Plant Coordination and Environmental Drivers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2025.
We explored the allocation strategies of N and P in leaves and fine roots (metabolic organs) and, in stems and coarse roots (woody organs) of nine dominant tree species in secondary tropical dry forests using scaling analysis. The scaling relationships of P versus N concentrations in non‐leaf organs were isometric across secondary succession and ...

‘Where else can they go?’: Violence, resistance and the socio‐cultural trajectories of Kashmiri women in Freny Manecksha's Behold I Shine: Narratives of Kashmir's Women and Children

Sexuality, Gender &Policy, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 348-365, November 2024.
Abstract In the armed conflict between Kashmiri militancy and the Indian state forces, Kashmiri women have been relentless victims of abduction, rape, molestation, and cruel objectification by the militaristic patriarchs of both sides. In the context of the state's unaccountability, the rebuttal of justice is horrific in Kashmir.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Tropical forest above‐ground productivity is maintained by nutrients cycled in litter

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 4, Page 690-700, April 2024.
The maintenance of highly productive lowland tropical forests on infertile soils is often attributed to nutrient cycling via litterfall. Almost 40 years after this theory was first proposed, our large‐scale field experiment demonstrates that tree growth and litter production decline in response to long‐term litter removal, providing the first empirical

Land use determines Mediterranean ecosystems' multifunctionality more than plant richness or habitat composition

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 476-488, March 2024.
Our results highlight the importance of remnant native forest to provide multiple ecosystem functions and the potential to restore them and complement these uses with sustainable agriculture. By merging landscape and ecosystem approaches we provide specific numbers regarding the proportion that each land use should have in order to maximise ...

Planting exceptional tropical tree species to increase long‐term carbon storage in assisted secondary succession

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 7-12, January 2024.
By increasing the representation of exceptional species in reforestation efforts, we could potentially boost long‐term carbon storage in reforestation projects focussed on carbon sequestration. However, our approach is not a substitute for protecting existing old primary forests and reforested lands plus reducing deforestation and emissions.
