Can Biodiversity Markets Deliver Inclusive and Collaborative Nature Recovery? Lessons From Different Habitat Banking Models in England

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity markets are increasingly promoted as instruments to close the biodiversity finance gap, yet their implications for social inclusivity and collaborative governance remain poorly understood. England's new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy provides a critical case.

Orchestration of Climate Action in Municipalities: A Collective Capacity Approach

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Municipalities are increasingly positioned as key actors in enabling local climate action, yet their ability to mobilise societal actors remains insufficiently understood. This study examines how municipal officials in six Finnish municipalities from different local contexts understand and operationalise collective capacity for climate action,

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...

The Phytochrome-Interacting Factor OsPIL11 Coordinates Grain Weight and Grain Number Via Directly Regulating the Expression of OsMIR530 and OsCKX2 in Rice

Rice
Grain weight and panicle architecture are pivotal determinants of rice yield, yet the regulatory mechanisms coordinating these traits remain elusive. Here, we functionally characterized a phytochrome-interacting factor, OsPIL11, serving as a negative ...

Impacts of Social Assistance During the COVID‐19 Pandemic in Poor Remote Communities

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Providing social assistance to poor populations in remote communities in times of crises, such as pandemics, is challenging but crucial. This paper examines how food assistance during the COVID‐19 pandemic affected people's behaviour, using our surveys among over 400 rural communities without road access in the Peruvian Amazon. Food assistance

Changes in soil oxidase activity induced by microbial life history strategies mediate the soil heterotrophic respiration response to drought and nitrogen enrichment

Frontiers in Microbiology
Drought and nitrogen deposition are two major climate challenges, which can change the soil microbial community composition and ecological strategy and affect soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh).

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Chromosome-scale genome assembly and gene annotation of the Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula)

Scientific Data
Given the aggressive nature and robust survival capabilities of the alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula), if it was to exist in a new environment as an invasive species, it could cause significant disruption to the invaded ecosystem.
