Bioeconomic modeling of wetlands and waterfowl in Western Canada: Accounting for amenity values

open access: yes
This study extends an original bioeconomic model of optimal duck harvest and wetland retention by bringing in amenity values related to the nonmarket (in situ) benefits of waterfowl plsi the ecosystem values of wetlands themselves.

Bridging ecological restoration and social legitimacy: A systematic review of cultural ecosystem services in inland aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long‐term success of inland aquatic ecosystem restoration depends not only on ecological outcomes but on whether people value and engage with the restored ecosystems. Cultural ecosystem services (CES) is the dimension where this engagement takes shape, yet they remain systematically excluded from the decisions that determine how these ...

Comparative Evaluation of Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in Flax, Hemp, and Cattail Discontinuous fiber Thermoset Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Spatial Variability of Permafrost and Active Layer Thickness in a Forested Hillslope of the Taiga Shield

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope
