Motivation The database initiated by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) is one of the few globally implemented standardized vegetation surveys in mountains. The focus is on collecting plant species occurrences at 5‐year intervals along and adjacent to mountain roads spanning elevational gradients, with the goal of providing critical information about the ongoing spread of non‐native plants and the potential impacts...
Exploring the Dynamics of Client Segments in Circular Economy Business Model for Construction OrganisationsNARA Subscribed
The role of clients is emerging as a decisive factor in adopting circular economy business models (CEBMs) as the construction industry struggles with mounting sustainability pressures. However, traditional client practices often constrain innovation, limiting the industry’s shift towards circularity. Hence, this study examines how different client segments influence the adoption of CEBMs in construction organisations. It provi...
Mild Decade‐Warming Shifts Soil Organic Carbon Composition Without Altering Total Stock in Temperate and Subtropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Although soil respiration is known to increase with warming, the long‐term stability of total forest soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and their compositional changes remain uncertain. Through a 12‐year soil warming experiment (+1.21°C) in temperate and subtropical forests, we found that SOC content remained stable in both 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm layers. A supporting global meta‐analysis further indicated that substantial SOC loss...
Climate change adaptation behaviour of forest growers in New Zealand: an application of protection motivation theoryNARA Subscribed
Climate change is likely to have significant impacts on the forestry sector in New Zealand. However, an understanding of how forest growers are reducing their risks from climate change impacts is still in its infancy. This paper applies the protection motivation theory to identify socio-psychological factors influencing forest growers’ adaptation to climate change. This study presents the survey results from 60 forest growers...
Traffic noise is one of the leading causes of reductions in animal abundances near roads. Acoustic masking of conspecific signals and adventitious cues is one mechanism that likely causes animals to abandon loud areas. However, masking effects can be difficult to document in situ and the effects of infrequent noise events may be impractical to study. Here, we present the Soundscapes model, a stochastic individual-based model t...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
Nutrient composition of epigeous fungal sporocarps growing on different substrates in a New Zealand mountain beech forestNARA Subscribed
Fungal sporocarps of selected species were collected from two substrates (standing dead spars and fallen logs, and the forest floor) in mountain beech ( Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides ) forest. Sporocarp C, N, P, Ca, K, Mg, Si, Al, andNa concentrations were determined. There was considerable variation in mineral element concentrations between species but this variation did not strongly relate to substrate, e.g., sporo...
