Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two MillenniaNARA Subscribed
Tropical peatland wildfire incidence has risen in recent decades, driven by drainage for land use and intensified by severe droughts with global climate change. These disturbances have altered vegetation structure, disrupted ecosystem functioning, and increased carbon emissions, particularly in Southeast Asia. However, the long‐term history and characteristics of wildfires in tropical peatlands remain largely unknown. Here, we...
EU policies on nature restoration and sustainability open the door for Fucus cultivation, however, based on the applications of the biomass, industry will have to explicitly account for spatiotemporal fluctuations in biochemical profiles. In general, brown seaweeds show high levels of biochemical variation, adjusting polysaccharide, protein, lipid, and secondary metabolite profiles in response to physiochemical factors and bio...
Gains in soil carbon storage under anthropogenic nitrogen deposition are rapidly lost following its cessationNARA Subscribed
In the Northern Hemisphere, anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition contributed to the enhancement of the global terrestrial carbon (C) sink, partially offsetting CO 2 emissions. Across several long‐term field experiments, this ecosystem‐level response was determined to be driven, in part, by the suppression of microbial activity associated with the breakdown of soil organic matter. However, since the implementation of emission...
The influence of habitat alteration on density of invading white‐tailed deer should not be discountedNARA Subscribed
Growing white‐tailed deer populations in Canada's boreal forest are linked to declines of threatened boreal caribou populations. Recent work by Dickie et al. (2024) shows that climate plays a stronger role than anthropogenic habitat alteration in impacting deer white‐tailed deer density, however we contend that these findings are not robust due to insufficient data and the analysis used is sensitive to data scaling approach. W...
Global mercury concentrations in biota: their use as a basis for a global biomonitoring frameworkNARA Subscribed
An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the first time currently available biotic mercury (Hg) data on a global scale to improve the understanding of global efforts to reduce the impact of Hg pollution on people and the environment. Data from the peer-reviewed literature were compiled in the G...
Combining camera trap surveys and IUCN range maps to improve knowledge of species distributionsNARA Subscribed
Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, areas that are not habitat have been removed from IUCN ranges to reduce commi...
Knowledge of genetic diversity and structure is essential for developing conservation strategies for endangered species. Blue whales were hunted to near extinction in the mid-twentieth century. Not-withstanding almost 380,000 animals killed globally, much remains unknown about their population structure and migration patterns. Herein, we use whole genome sequencing to elucidate the poorly understood population genetics of Nort...
