Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3999-4015, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being.

Turning Mediterranean Farmlands Into Priority Habitats: Natural Expansion of Juniper Woodlands After Agricultural Abandonment

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Spanish juniper woodlands are expanding across central Spain as farmland is abandoned. By combining 34 years of land‐cover data with high‐resolution photogrammetry and field measurements, we show that juniper growth depends on topography, solar exposure and competition with shrubs. High irradiance increases biomass in older stands but limits young ones,

Securing the past for the future – why climate proxy archives should be protected

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 272-277, January 2026.
Glaciers, corals, speleothems, peatlands, trees and other natural proxy archives are essential for global climate change research, but their scarcity and fragility are not equally recognised. Here, we introduce a rapidly disappearing source of palaeoclimatic, environmental and archaeological evidence from some 5000 years ago in the Fenland of eastern ...

Geoecology of limestone‐hosted dryland calcicolous plants, North Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1100-1119, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Dryland calcicolous plants are drought‐tolerant species that are adapted to survive on alkaline low‐nutrient bare substrates derived from limestone around the world. Outcrops of the Otekaike Limestone of North Otago host some rare low‐growing (<10 cm) endemic calcicoles, and conservation reserves have been created at some localities.
