From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 35-55, March 2026.
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...

Ecological factors shaping post‐fire resilience in mature black spruce forests of eastern North America

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study provides an assessment of the fire resilience of mature black spruce (BS) forests. A third of pre‐fire mature closed‐canopy stands are expected to transition into open woodlands. While mature BS‐dominated forests are considered more fire‐resilient than younger stands, our study raises concerns about their capacity to persist under the ...

Understanding fire conflict through stakeholder mapping in Madagascar's grassy biomes

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 110-126, January 2026.
Abstract Fire management in biodiverse regions where rural communities depend on traditional fire‐use practices presents a complex global challenge, particularly in Madagascar where fire is considered a threat to forests yet is essential for maintaining grassland ecosystem health and rural livelihoods.

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...
