The nature and distribution of road sediment contaminants in the greater Las Vegas, Nevada areaNARA Subscribed
Road sediment is an underutilized medium in the investigation of environmental pollution, yet it serves as both a source and sink for a wide array of pollutants. In urban areas especially, contaminants present within road sediment have the potential to pose human health risks depending on the abundance, chemical, and physical nature of these contaminants as well as the duration (i.e. acute or chronic) of exposure. Las Vegas, N...
Marine carbon sinks are identified as potential nature‐based solutions in the second Emissions Reduction Plan released in December 2024. Although the scientific basis for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) is still being established, activities are nonetheless advancing internationally and there is increasing domestic interest. Here, we introduce the fundamentals and types of mCDR to highlight the need for a national assessm...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
A user’s guide to coral reef restoration terminologiesNARA Subscribed
Global coral reef restoration efforts continue to diversify in approach, location, and socio-ecological context. In parallel, vocabulary has evolved such that practitioners, scientists, policy makers, communicators, and investors must navigate an increasingly confusing set of terms that are inconsistently defined. Precision around terms and definitions is an important attribute underpinning the rate and extent with which resto...
Fluid and electrolyte balance following consumption of skimmed milk and a plant-based soya beverage at rest in euhydrated malesNARA Subscribed
Purpose Cow’s milk is one of the most hydrating beverages, but many individuals choose not to consume dairy in their diet due to intolerance, allergy, or dietary preference. Milk is commonly replaced with plant-based beverages, including soya which has the most comparable protein content, but little is known about their hydration potential. This study compared fluid and electrolyte balance responses between a soya beverage and...
A subsidy can directly enter a recipient ecosystem by either being consumed or being recycled to the nutrient pool with both pathways causing multiple indirect and potentially conflicting effects. Subsidy pathways are prone to anthropogenic stressors, which can impact the relative strength of the recycling and direct consumption fluxes. Current studies have mainly focused on a single coupling pathway, limiting our knowledge of...
Understanding the relative effectiveness and enabling conditions of different area‐based management tools is essential for supporting efforts that achieve positive biodiversity outcomes as area‐based conservation coverage increases to meet newly set international targets. We used data from a coastal social–ecological monitoring program in 6 Indo‐Pacific countries to analyze whether social, ecological, and economic objectives a...
