Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Long‐Term Legacy of Exotic Pioneers: Over Two Decades of Biodiversity Monitoring Reveals Constrained Succession in a Restored Sanitary Landfill

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term ecological studies are critical for evaluating restoration strategies on challenging sites, such as closed landfills. This study presents a 23‐year biodiversity monitoring program (2000–2023) at the restored Southeast New Territories sanitary landfill in Hong Kong.

Modelling weed population dynamics: impact of cultural control and climate change [PDF]

Over the last three decades, concern about food safety and the management of natural resources has increased. Instigated by the previous EU pesticide review, (EU 91/414) carrot growers in particular have been hit by the revocation of several post ...

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

RIMPhil: a bioeconomic model for integrated weed management of annual barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in Philippine rice farming systems [PDF]

This paper describes a complex, dynamic simulation model that has been developed for the analysis of integrated weed management programmes for the control of annual barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in rice farming systems in the Philippines.

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.
