Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?
Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.
