A Review and Critique of Methods and Knowledge Gaps in Quantifying Spillover Effects from Protected AreasNARA Subscribed
The sustainability of area‐based conservation initiatives depends on their value to society. Conservation often focuses inside protected areas, but the impacts of protected areas beyond their boundaries (spillovers) are critical for their social license. Despite their importance, spillovers remain poorly documented and difficult to characterize. To understand the current state of the field and identify avenues for improved gen...
Biological products improved tomato crop growth and altered soil nutrient levels without changing microbial community compositionNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Alternatives to synthetic fertilisers for field-grown crops are needed to increase crop production. This study investigated the application of three commercial biological products, Popul8 (microbial), Eco-Humate (organic-acid) and Eco-Vital® (fish + seaweed) to field-grown tomatoes and their impact on crop growth, soil properties, and the microbiome. Methods Field trials were conducted at two farms in the 2...
Mutual dosing of tungsten, molybdenum and selenium impact anaerobic digestion microbiomeNARA Subscribed
Metals are critical in anaerobic digestion, but their co-occurrence effects on microbiome structure and function are underexplored. This study hypothesized that exposure of methanogenic granules to a trace element (TE) mixture alongside molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W) or selenium (Se)-would alter (i) extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protein and carbohydrate content, (ii) microbial composition and function (iii) methanoge...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
The midwater ocean (200 m depth to the seafloor) is the largest biome on the planet, supporting a large percentage of global ocean biomass. Difficulties in midwater exploration constrain knowledge about the organisms and ecology of the critical ecosystems it contains. Pacific Ocean expeditions by NOAA Ocean Exploration explored the faunal distributions of many water column taxa, including continued characterization of a zone o...
