Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Associations between mycorrhizal dominance and woody species diversity shift with stand development and climate across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal symbioses influence woody species diversity, but whether this association shifts with forest stand development remains underexplored. Using forest inventory data across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan, we found that woody species diversity was lower in ectomycorrhizal (EM)‐dominated than in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)‐dominated ...

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Hydrology of tropical montane cloud forests: A Reassessment [PDF]

Extending an earlier review of the literature (Bruijnzeel and Proctor, 1995), this paper incorporates the results obtained by post-1993 hydrological and hydrometeorological studies in tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) situated mostly in Latin America

The EU Deforestation Regulation: Challenges, Opportunities and the Potential Impacts on the Producing Countries of Cocoa and Coffee

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a policy that prohibits access to the EU market for commodities that are linked to deforestation. We did a systematic review to understand perceived challenges, opportunities and potential impacts of the EUDR on producing countries of cocoa and coffee.

Carbon Markets and Natural Climate Solutions in Brazil: Institutional Coherence Across Biodiversity, Land‐Use and Territorial Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how natural climate solutions (NCS) are institutionalised through carbon market governance in tropical contexts, focusing on Brazil's emerging Emissions Trading System (SBCE). It contributes to debates on the effectiveness, equity and governance of nature‐based climate action by analysing how carbon market instruments ...

Determination of Aflatoxins and Selected Heavy Metals in Rice Varieties Cultivated in Fogera, Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a vital staple crop for nearly half the world's population. This study investigates the levels of aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2) and selected heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Cr) and essential elements (Mn, Fe, Mg, Cu, and Zn) in rice varieties cultivated in Fogera, Amhara Region, Ethiopia.
