Wetland Expansion Reduces CO 2 ‐Equivalent Emissions and Strengthens the Congo Basin's Role as a Net Carbon SinkNARA Subscribed
Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane, yet their desiccation releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide. Changing wetland emissions provide the greatest source of uncertainty in global emissions estimates due to limited data for key tropical carbon sources and sinks, including the Congo Basin. Here we quantified changing swamp forest hydrology, forest productivity and greenhouse gas emissions between 2007 and...
Assessing the livelihood vulnerability of rural Guyanese communities due to accelerating environmental changeNARA Subscribed
Environmental change is increasing vulnerability for many local communities worldwide. This can affect social, health, economic, environmental and cultural values, and challenges our ability to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Previous research has quantified such community vulnerability using indices such as the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) and the Livelihood Vulnerability Index-Intergovernmental Panel on Climat...

Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Political and economic transitions have had substantial impacts on forest conservation. Where transitions are underway or anticipated, historical precedent and methods for systematically assessing future trends should be used to anticipate likely threats to forest conservation and design appropriate and prescient policy measures to counteract them. Myanmar is transitioning from an authoritarian, centralized state with a highly...
The Safe Operating Space ( SOS ) of a recreational fishery is the multidimensional region defined by levels of harvest, angler effort, habitat, predation and other factors in which the fishery is sustainable into the future. SOS boundaries exhibit trade‐offs such that decreases in harvest can compensate to some degree for losses of habitat, increases in predation and increasing value of fishing time to anglers. Conversely, hig...
Prioritization of knowledge‐needs to achieve best practices for bottom trawling in relation to seabed habitatsNARA Subscribed
Management and technical approaches that achieve a sustainable level of fish production while at the same time minimizing or limiting the wider ecological effects caused through fishing gear contact with the seabed might be considered to be ‘best practice’. To identify future knowledge‐needs that would help to support a transition towards the adoption of best practices for trawling, a prioritization exercise was undertaken wit...
