People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Melodies of the forest: Nature as an improvisational space for shared creative embodiment
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract In an era marked by increasing disconnection from nature, innovative approaches to reconnect with the environment are crucial for both ecological and psychological well‐being. This paper explores how natural environments (a deciduous forest of Quebec in the present case study) can serve as an improvisational space for shared creative ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...
