Unlocking landscape transient dynamics: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge for enhanced analysis of land‐use changes and forest expansion in a Mediterranean ecosystem

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 283-300, February 2026.
Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Forest Reorganization Sustains Carbon Sequestration Under Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Forests currently mitigate anthropogenic climate change by sequestering substantial amounts of carbon, but future carbon dynamics are expected to vary across the temperate forest biome. Previously cold‐limited ecosystems with low disturbance activity could increase their carbon uptake, while water‐limited ecosystems with high disturbance ...

Where Are the Important Hotspots for Forest Biodiversity? A Detailed Spatial Analysis for the Australian State of Victoria

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Identifying areas of high biodiversity value is critical for effective conservation. Similarly, identifying gaps in existing protected area networks is fundamental to determining where new areas are needed to better conserve biodiversity. We conducted a spatial prioritisation analysis for forest and woodland‐dependent species across Victoria ...

Communities with diverse subsistence needs require a variety of functional tree traits

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Malagasy forest users vary the traits that they prefer for different household uses. Accessibility is prioritized for daily uses such as fuelwood, while functional traits are valued for longer‐term uses. Differences between men and women reflect traditional gender roles.
