A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

USE OF ENZYME ACTIVITIES TO MONITOR POLLUTION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND

open access: yesEQA, 2017
Concern about environmental pollution has grown in the last few decades, amongst both specialists in the field and society at large. This concern is reflected in thenumerous studies that have been published on this topic in recent years.

Impact of arbuscular mycorrhiza on maize P1B-ATPases gene expression and ionome in copper-contaminated soils

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, symbionts of most land plants, increase plant fitness in metal contaminated soils. To further understand the mechanisms of metal tolerance in the AM symbiosis, the expression patterns of the maize Heavy Metal ATPase ...

Sensitivities of sage‐grouse to weather and climate: Implications for indicator species in a moisture‐limited ecosystem Sensibilidades del gallo de las artemisas al clima y las condiciones meteorológicas: implicaciones para una especie indicadora de ecosistemas limitados por la humedad

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
Abstract Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.) are considered an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems but are declining range‐wide, resulting from a suite of anthropogenic threats that are reducing habitat availability and quality throughout the sagebrush biome.

Root‐associated fungi modulate plant recruitment in Mediterranean forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Established plants affect directly and indirectly the success of juvenile plants recruiting in their close vicinity, what is defined as a canopy–recruit interaction. Such interactions affect plant species demography and community dynamics.

Soil and leaf litter ants from the Amazon Region offer new distribution records for Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
The Colombian Amazon is a region of remarkable biodiversity; however, several biological groups and their microhabitats remain poorly explored. Recent studies on soil ant diversity have provided new records and insights into their biology.

Inoculation of Indigenous Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi as a Strategy for the Recovery of Long-Term Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils in a Mine-Spill Area

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offer an effective indirect mechanism to reduce heavy metal (HM) stress; however, it is still not clear which AMF species are more efficient as bioremediating agents.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Seeing both the forest and the trees: An automated workflow for ultra‐high‐resolution drone imaging of tropical canopies

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical forest canopies host diverse tree and liana assemblages, yet key foliar and reproductive traits needed for taxonomic identification of canopy plants are often difficult to see from the forest floor, creating a bottleneck in inventories.
