Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Tropical Forest Protection, Uncertainty, and the Environmental Integrity of Carbon Mitigation Policies [PDF]

Tropical forests are estimated to release approximately 1.7 PgC per year as a result of deforestation. Avoiding tropical deforestation could potentially play a significant role in carbon mitigation over the next 50 years if not longer.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Secondary successions after shifting cultivation in a dense tropical forest of southern Cameroon (Central Africa) [PDF]

, 2013
The ongoing debate on deforestation in the tropics usually points out agriculture and logging as the main causes. The two activities are often linked and the trails created by logging com-panies with their heavy machines are afterwards used by farmers to

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Community‐level egg and larval trait interactions with the Amazon River plume determine its role as a dispersal barrier

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Amazon River plume (ARP) functions as a dynamic and porous biogeographic barrier whose permeability to larval dispersal depends on the interplay between species' biological traits and oceanographic processes. Using biophysical modeling combined with a dual analytical framework, namely a multivariate regression tree (MRT) and a generalized additive ...
