Why do people go to nature? Enhancing the recognition and scope of cultural ecosystem services in landscape

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 650-665, March 2026.
Abstract The cultural ecosystem services (CES) framework allows to systematically analyse non‐material human–nature relationships and can help to increase the recognition and scope of various intangible place‐based values. Although the amount of scientific literature addressing CES has increased over the last few decades, studies largely focus only on ...

The Tar Creek Superfund and Flood Map: A Case Study in the Equitable Co‐Production of Maps for Storytelling, Environmental Activism, and Education

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Case studies on co‐production and geographic information systems have reported on the utility and value of community members contributing local knowledge for and providing feedback on maps in ways that can increase the accuracy and usability of the map. However, how the concept for and goals of the map are co‐produced and how the maps are then

Assessing the Impact of Subsurface Clay Layers on Water Use Dynamics in Eucalyptus globulus Plantations

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Eucalyptus globulus sites underlain by thin clay layers exhibited substantially higher transpiration, groundwater use, and stand productivity compared to sites underlain by thick clay layers. Mean annual net water balance at thick clay sites was negligible. Access to groundwater was likely restricted by thick clay layers, resulting in reduced water use
