Does Collaboration Distribute Power? Evidence From State Forest Lands Governance in the United States

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 26-38, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the last two decades, collaborative approaches to forest governance have become commonplace, valued for their potential to reduce conflict and increase equity and democracy. Despite growing application, little research has explored collaboration on state forestland management within the United States.

Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Culture, Community, and Development: Unpacking the ‘Socio‐Cultural Milieu Dynamics’ of Solomon Islands and Their Influence on Australia's Aid Localisation

Public Administration and Development, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 77-92, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Using public ethnography anchored in the post‐development theory and interpretivist epistemological paradigm, this study examines what we term the ‘socio‐cultural milieus dynamics’ (SCMD) of the Solomon Islands (SI) and how these shape meaning, discourse, and practice in ways that influence Australia's aid localisation efforts and aid outcomes.

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

Conservation 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.

The construction of biodiversity in conservation policy discourse: A multiscalar analysis

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This article examines how biodiversity is constructed in conservation policy discourses globally and in biodiversity priority countries, using Africa and Zambia as a case study, through critical discourse analysis and critical insights from political ecology.

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.

The power of the past: materializing collective memory at early medieval lordly centres

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 34-69, February 2026.
The repurposing of earlier sites and monuments is an enduringly popular theme in early medieval archaeology, but in England it has attracted little interest among Late Saxon and early post‐Conquest studies. From the tenth century, however, an increasingly prevalent pattern is discernible of secular lords locating their power centres in relation to ...

Waves Under Control? A Meta‐Analysis of Morphological Restoration as a Strategy to Mitigate Navigation‐Induced Disturbances

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ship‐induced waves significantly impact freshwater ecosystems, estuaries and tidal rivers by accelerating shoreline erosion and reducing aquatic biodiversity. Morphological protection measures are implemented to mitigate these adverse effects, but their effectiveness in preventing shoreline zone deterioration has not been systematically ...
