Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental threats, and promoting peace and cooperation. At the same time, compared with other p...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...
Fertilizer use in Indonesian oil palm smallholder systems: agronomic and socio-economic constraints and opportunitiesNARA Subscribed
Oil palm smallholders in Indonesia use low amounts of fertilizer, leading to nutrient deficiencies and low yields and profits. This study examines the reasons for limited fertilizer use to identify opportunities for improving fertilizer management. This is vital to support smallholder livelihoods and to reduce the need to clear new land for oil palm cultivation. We explored agronomic and socio-economic factors influencing fert...
Assessing Prokaryotic Benthic Communities in the Red SeaNARA Subscribed
Marine sediments host diverse benthic prokaryotic communities that are integral to global biogeochemical cycles. However, the spatial distribution and environmental drivers of these communities, particularly in unique environments like the Red Sea, remain largely underexplored. In this study, we examine benthic prokaryotic communities sampled during the Red Sea Decade Expedition (RSDE) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing across fiv...
Pelagic particle‐associated bacterioplankton play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. However, their diversity, composition, and dynamics remain poorly understood, particularly in unique environments such as the Red Sea. In this study, we employed eDNA metabarcoding to comprehensively characterise bacterioplankton communities associated with pelagic particles in a t...
The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlifeNARA Subscribed
Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to be included in bioeconomic policy, but a synthesis of existing literature for wildli...
