Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Thinking with trees: Responding to sympoietic plant relations through visual art

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Amid escalating climate crises, this paper explores how we might rethink our relationship with the natural world, particularly with plants and trees, through the perspectives of visual art. This paper reveals how art invites us to see trees and other plant life not as passive background scenery, but as living beings with their own forms of experience ...

Vegetation and Soil Responses to Concrete Grinding Residue Application on Highway Roadsides of Eastern Nebraska

, 2018
As a precautionary principle, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit establishes that the primary pollutant in concrete grinding residue (CGR) is its alkalinity and restricts CGR roadside discharge to 11 Mg ha−1 or the ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

The impact of the urban environment on the energy used for cooling buildings

, 2002
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Cities are often warmer than their surroundings, and this can lead to more energy being used to cool buildings.

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...
