Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Estimating snow depth based on dual polarimetric radar index from Sentinel-1 GRD data: A case study in the Scandinavian Mountains

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
The sensitivity of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarization information to snow depth changes provides new opportunities for regional snow depth retrieval in mountains with thick snow cover.

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Social cohesion in restoration landscapes: The case of Rwanda

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem restoration is recognized as a strategy for addressing landscape degradation. In contexts where ecological degradation overlaps with the deterioration of social cohesion, restoration must also contribute to rebuilding social ties alongside restoring ecosystems.

Distribution of snow depth variability

, 2018
Snow depth is the easiest snowpack property to measure in the field and is used to estimate the distribution of snow for quantifying snow storage. Often the mean of three snow depth measurements is used to represent snow depth at a location.

Seasonal snow depth dataset over flat terrains in the Northern Hemisphere based on ICESat-2 data from 2018 to 2020

International Journal of Digital Earth
Snowmelt water is a crucial freshwater resource in mid-to-high-latitude mountain areas. Snow depth is a key parameter in estimating snowmelt water. Current snow depth datasets have low spatial resolution and insufficient observational data for validating

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Advancing the Understanding of Snow Accumulation, Melting, and Associated Thermal Insulation Using Spatially Dense Snow Depth and Temperature Time Series

Geophysical Research Letters
Snow thermal insulation is a critical factor influencing ground thermal dynamics and associated biogeochemical processes. We analyzed the spatiotemporal variability of snow accumulation, melting, and thermal insulation dynamics using spatially dense ...
