Passive Acoustic Identification of Social Groups in the Hainan Gibbon

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring offers a non‐invasive means of assessing visually hard‐to‐survey wildlife species with distinctive vocalizations. We evaluated whether deep learning can identify Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) social groups from their calls.

Considering parameter seasonal variation to enhance process-based ecosystem model performance, evidence from the SWH model

Ecological Indicators
Modeling and partitioning ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) are critical for predicting how ecosystem water cycles respond to global climate change. In this study, we used the widely applied SWH model, an ET partitioning model, as an example.

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]

, 2010
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

The Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change: Rethinking Justice, Responsibility, and Collective Obligation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

Spatiotemporal variation and regulatory mechanisms in carbon budget and resource use efficiencies across global terrestrial biomes

Energy Nexus
Resource use efficiencies (RUEs), including water (WUE), light (LUE), and carbon use efficiency (CUE), are vital indicators of ecosystem functioning.

The importance of large-diameter trees in the wet tropical rainforests of Australia.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Large trees are keystone structures in many terrestrial ecosystems. They contribute disproportionately to reproduction, recruitment and succession, and influence the structure, dynamics and diversity of forests.

Logging cuts the functional importance of invertebrates in tropical rainforest

Nature Communications, 2015
Invertebrates are dominant species in primary tropical rainforests, where their abundance and diversity contributes to the functioning and resilience of these globally important ecosystems.

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia [PDF]

, 2013
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

The Sustainability of Robusta Coffee Under Global Change—A Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This contribution reviews the scientific evidence concerning climate resiliency claims as well as sustainability issues for robusta coffee (Coffea canephora), focusing on: climate change analyses, climate parameters, soil water, and farming inputs, especially irrigation and synthetic fertilizer use.

Jaguar Densities and Land Cover Change in a Multi‐Use Landscape: A 10‐Year Comparison in the Colombian Llanos 美洲豹种群密度与复合用地景观下的土地覆被变化:哥伦比亚亚诺斯地区10年比较研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used spatially explicit capture‐recapture to estimate jaguar densities in a private reserve in the Colombian Llanos and quantified land cover change in and around the reserve from 2014 to 2024. Densities increased 22% since 2014, while disturbed land cover increased by 39%–54% around the reserve depending on buffer distance. Our study indicates that
