Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Tracing Identity in a Fragmented Past: Multi‐Proxy Analysis of Human Skeletal Remains From Dungowan Creek, New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human skeletal remains constitute critical archaeological evidence for reconstructing past societies, yet their investigation requires careful ethical, cultural, and legislative consideration. This paper reports on the discovery, recovery and analysis of a set of skeletal remains encountered during a cultural heritage management (CHM ...

Topsoil volume optimization in the restoration of post-mined areas.

open access: yes
Transferring topsoil to severely degraded areas, such as mined areas, is an effective restoration technique. However, topsoil from pristine areas is a limited resource, making it important to seek techniques that optimize its use.

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

SOIL ORGANIC CARBON LEVELS IN SOILS OF CONTRASTING LAND USES IN SOUTHEASTERN NIGERIA

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2017
Land use change affects soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in tropical soils, but information on the influence of land use change on segmental topsoil organic carbon stock is lacking.

Single‐grain K‐feldspar luminescence dating on primary and re‐deposited aeolian sediments in Mongolia

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Owing to its location in the semi‐arid region of northern Central Asia, Mongolia is highly sensitive to climate change and therefore provides an excellent setting for palaeoenvironmental research. Proxy data from different sediment types are crucial for interpreting past climate changes and landscape evolution, while burial ages provide chronological ...
