Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, posing significant threats to marine biodiversity. While tropical coral responses to thermal stress are well studied, less is known about the responses of temperate, azooxanthellate corals to temperature anomalies. The aim of our study was to investigate the physiological response of the temperate scleractinian coral Caryophyllia smithii t...

During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event. Using high‐resolution archival data and acoustic tracking, we present the post‐release behaviour of a single flapper skate ( Dipturus intermedius ) that was captured, tagged and r...

Land consolidation projects (LCPs) are widely implemented in irrigation areas to support irrigation infrastructure development and improve on‐farm water management, yet evidence of their irrigation scheme‐scale effects under actual operating conditions remains limited. This study evaluates how the period associated with LCP completion relates to irrigation method adoption, irrigation water use efficiency, managerial performanc...

Disturbances can occur as short‐lived pulses (e.g., storms) or sustained presses (e.g., chronic drought). Much work in ecology has developed methods to help predict how natural populations respond to disturbances, but analyses of pulse and press disturbances have been largely disconnected. We present a matrix framework that links press and pulse perturbations within the same analytical approach, showing how transient nonlinear...

A 25-year study (1994–2019) of starfish in Lough Hyne, Europe’s first statutory marine reserve, in SW Ireland documents a highly fluctuating but overall proliferation of spiny starfish ( Marthasterias glacialis ), a virtual disappearance of the common starfish ( Asterias rubens ), and low-level fluctuations of cushion stars ( Asterina spp.). Although explosive recruitment booms and subsequent declines of M. glacialis in shallo...

Approximately 25%–70% of soil organic matter (OM) is stored below 30 cm, rendering subsoil OM cycling an important control on OM persistence. With climate change, soils are experiencing new pedoclimatic disturbances like seasonal flooding that can destabilize mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) and undermine carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) persistence. Our current understanding of how OM cycles down the soil...

Climate change and population growth have led to a decline in water resources, necessitating more efficient water use. This study aims to analyse water use efficiency in the Eskişehir Water User Association by evaluating irrigation performance. Based on irrigation data from 2016 to 2022, the research examines water management efficiency and economic indicators. The findings indicate that the total volume of distributed irrigat...
