Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Care through cultivation: Indigenous Swidden agriculture as forest care

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper argues that the agricultural practices of Bunong swidden cultivators in northeastern Cambodia constitute relational care for forests that is fundamentally misunderstood, misrecognized, and marginalized by dominant state policies, conservation, and development paradigms. Bringing together care theory, long‐term ethnographic research,

Seeing both heritage and resource: A relational approach to forest owners' decision‐making

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The loss of forest habitats calls for a change in the intensity and scale at which forests are managed. With voluntary policies on the rise, there is greater focus on understanding the motivations of private forest owners. While private forest management is likely driven by both economic and non‐economic factors, previous literature has paid ...

Bringing social cohesion into forest landscape restoration: Identifying future pathways toward more integrated social‐ecological restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change. However, its long‐term success depends not only on ecological outcomes but also on social processes that shape restoration implementation and sustainability.

Forest governance and the politics of care: Practices, subjectivities and more‐than‐human‐relations in contemporary conservation regimes in Guaviare, Colombia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Market‐based conservation instruments such as REDD+ and Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) have been promoted to curb deforestation in the Colombian Amazon. Yet these schemes remain contested, as they advance neoliberal conservation and reproduce gender inequalities.

Informing the potential of mature temperate forests as natural climate solutions: Changed fine root biomass and morphology under elevated CO2

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Interactive effects of microplastics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on grassland communities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grassland plant communities contribute significantly to global biodiversity but face numerous man‐made pressures which may interfere with their ecological functions. One such pressure receiving increasing scientific, political, and public attention is microplastic pollution.

Close‐to‐nature management regulates ecosystem carbon storage through its effects on vegetation community structure in Pinus massoniana plantations

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Forest plantations play an increasingly important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, yet management strategies that enhance long‐term ecosystem carbon storage remain insufficiently understood. We investigated the effects of more than a decade of close‐to‐nature management on community structure and ecosystem carbon storage ...
