Exploring soil erosion in the lake basins of Michoacán, Mexico: From sediment cores to conservation policies

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding soil erosion, its history and links to potential drivers such as land use (particularly agriculture and deforestation), different cultural perspectives and climate change are crucial for the development of effective management and conservation strategies.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Long‐term hydrologic connectivity on the Australian dryland margins: Evidence from the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area over the last 60 ky

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The semi‐arid Australian continental inland is increasingly subject to climatic extremes such as drought and flooding. Combined with the exceptionally low topographic relief characteristic of this region, hydroclimatic extremes can have an enormous impact on the land surface.

Land Use Changes and Sustainable Development Goals Alignment Through Assessing Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand Balance

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem service quality is closely linked to human well‐being, and sustainable provision of ecosystem service is essential for ensuring regional ecological security and achieving sustainability goals. An innovative valuation framework is introduced that combines land use/cover change (LUCC) analysis, supply and demand matrices and Gini ...

Community and Institutional Drivers of Deforestation, Environmental Impacts, and Extension Interventions for Forest Management in the Hindu Kush Himalaya

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deforestation in Pakistan's mountainous regions, particularly in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), presents significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. Despite various control measures, deforestation persists due to institutional weaknesses and community pressures.

Heatwave intensity drives eco‐physiological responses in infaunal bivalves: A mesocosm experiment

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing globally in intensity and duration. To investigate the potential consequences for coastal ecosystems, the effects of short‐term heat stress must be better understood. This study examined eco‐physiological responses in two common intertidal bivalves, Cerastoderma edule and Macoma balthica, to different heatwave ...

Dynamics of surface accretion and surface elevation differ between river and tide dominated settings in tropical mangroves

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The maintenance of soil surface elevation in mangroves supports the persistence of mangroves with sea level rise. The processes contributing to soil surface elevation have rarely been assessed in the humid tropics, despite most mangroves occurring in river deltas and tidal estuaries within this climate zone. Using surface elevation table (SET)
