Prescribed burning effectively maintains threatened species in semi‐natural grasslands on lava flows

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Prescribed burning shows promise for managing certain grassland types, but relying solely on it often reduces plant diversity, including threatened species. In Japanese dry grasslands established on volcanic ejecta, we explored conditions under which burning maintains high diversity.

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

A Regional Analysis of Trace Element Water Chemistry With Applications for Reconstructing Environmental Life History of Fishes

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements and minerals can be important for physiological and biochemical functions in aquatic organisms and are also permanently retained in metabolically inert structures in fish, such as otoliths, which can be examined to reconstruct environmental history.

Genetic inference of orchid population dynamics on different‐aged lava flows in Costa Rica

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 95-105, January 2023., 2023
Volcán Arenal lava flows represent natural, non‐anthropogenic habitat disturbance that permit precise knowledge of when these sites became available for colonization. By examining the levels and spatial distribution of genetic variation of five Epidendrum radicans populations growing on lava flows deposited in 1968 and 1992, we were able to infer ...
