Beyond adoption: smallholder intentions for sustained engagement with climate-smart agricultureNARA Subscribed
As climate-induced environmental shifts accelerate worldwide, the transition from initial technology adoption to long-term adaptation remains a critical challenge for climate resilience. While climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely advocated as a key solution, the drivers of sustained commitment among smallholder communities, particularly in highly vulnerable, flood-prone ecosystems remain underexplored. This study investig...
Sensitivity analysis of modeled soil water dynamics within variable rate irrigation zones for winter wheatNARA Subscribed
Understanding within-field and season variability of soil water supply and crop water stress is critical for successful variable-rate irrigation (VRI) management. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess within-field variability of field capacity (FC), wilting point (WP), total available water (TAW), and initial soil volumetric water content (VWC init ); (2) validate a water balance model based on the American Society o...
Remote Sensing With Machine Learning to Monitor Seagrass Meadows: Long‐Term Trends in Tauranga Harbour, New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Seagrass meadows play critical roles in coastal ecosystems by stabilising sediments, supporting biodiversity and sequestering carbon, yet monitoring their recovery at scale is often constrained by the lack of scalable and repeatable approaches. This study applies an open‐source remote‐sensing framework to track long‐term changes in Zostera muelleri in Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand, from 1959 to 2024. Using supervised machine l...
Modeling air temperature from snow-buried sensors to refine multi-decadal warming trends in Great Basin National Park, NV, USANARA Subscribed
Collecting reliable meteorological data in mountain environments is difficult because harsh conditions, complex terrain, and limited access disrupt long-term observations. In the Snake Range, Nevada, snow cover of low-cost temperature and humidity sensors creates winter gaps in near-surface air temperature records. To address this challenge, we developed three Random Forest Regression models to predict 2-m daily maximum, mean,...
Missouri has strong potential for expanded tree nut agroforestry, particularly in regions where perennial systems could improve land-use efficiency, reduce erosion risk, and diversify farm income. Alley cropping offers a flexible framework for integrating tree nuts into existing agricultural systems without displacing current enterprises, thereby helping to defray establishment costs and reduce barriers to perennial transition...
Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Nature-Related Risk Perceptions Among Vietnamese Smallholder Tea Farmers and Implications for Environmental ManagementNARA Subscribed
Smallholder farmers manage a significant share of the world’s agricultural landscapes and are highly vulnerable to nature-related risks arising from climate variability, soil degradation, water scarcity, and pest and disease pressures. Sustainably managing the balance between the environment and production in such systems requires an understanding of how land managers perceive and prioritize these risks, as perceptions often i...
Introduction Ospreys ( Pandion haliaetus ) are well-known sentinels of aquatic ecosystem health and are indicators of both environmental contaminants and fish stocks. The Chesapeake Bay supports one of the largest osprey breeding populations in the world, but recent studies have documented declining reproductive performance and increasing food stress in some portions of the estuary. Methods We monitored osprey nests (N = 571)...
Knowing with the river: Situated risks of riverine communities in the Peruvian AmazonNARA Subscribed
Dominant approaches to drought and flood risk often marginalize the social and temporal dimensions of how communities experience environmental change. This study explores how three riverine communities in the Peruvian Amazon—Bajo Belén, Tamshiyacu, and El Chino—generate and act on knowledge of river dynamics to sustain livelihoods amid increasing hydrological variability. Using storytelling with 45 participants (2023–2024), an...
