Putting Abandoned Farmlands in the Legend of Land Use and Land Cover Maps of the Brazilian Tropical Savanna

open access: yesLand
Farmland abandonment is becoming a growing land use challenge in the Brazilian Cerrado, yet its extent, spatial distribution, and underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This study addresses the following question: Can deep learning methods reliably

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Compost and fertilizer mineralization effects on soil and harvest in parkland agroforestry systems in the south-Sudanese zone of Burkina Faso [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Decomposition of, and the subsequent nutrient release from tree leaf litter as well as external inputs of nutrients are important in the traditional agroforestry parklands of West Africa. The management of nutrient resources is essential to optimize crop

Effects of natural environmental factors on growth and tuber production of Tacca leontopetaloides (Polynesian arrowroot), an underutilized food crop

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Tacca's productivity in dry tropical zones increases with rainfall and land cover gradients. Phosphorus (P) content in soil is positively correlated with plant aboveground growth traits (total height, leaf area) and tuber weight of the species, whereas potassium (K) is correlated only with tuber weight.

An energy‐based aggregate stability method is more management‐sensitive than commercial methods in coarse‐textured, subtropical orchard soils

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Aggregate stability impacts important soil functions, including carbon/water storage and soil structure. Macroaggregate stability tests, using rainfall simulation or wet sieving, are commonly used, but microaggregate stability tests may be more applicable to subtropical, coarse‐textured soils.

Growth and yield response of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) clones to spacing in the Guinea Savanna zone of Ghana

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The Guinea Savanna zone of many countries constitutes a critical cashew‐producing area. Despite its importance, data‐driven recommendations on optimal tree spacing remain largely unavailable to farmers in Ghana. This knowledge gap constrains productivity, reduces returns on investment, and affects farmer interest and ultimately the long‐term ...

Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
