Hondurodendron, a new monotypic genus of Aptandraceae from Honduras.
(2010)Hondurodendron C. Ulloa, Nickrent, Whitef. & D. Kelly, a new monotypic genus endemic to Honduras, is here described and illustrated. The new species, H. urceolatum C. Ulloa, Nickrent, Whitef. & D. Kelly, is a dioecious ... -
Hyperlinked compendium of nature-based solutions projects 2016-2026

Identifying principles for the design of robust impact evaluation frameworks for nature-based solutions in cities
(2020)Cities all over the world are confronting intertwined environmental, social and economic problems and aim to become resilient to climate change and promote wellbeing for all their citizens. Nature-based solutions have been ... -
Importance of reporting ancillary site characteristics, and management and disturbance information at ICOS stations.
(2018)There are many factors that influence ecosystem scale carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gas dynamics, including the inherent heterogeneity of soils and vegetation, anthropogenic management interventions, and biotic and abiotic ... -
Incorporating socio-economic factors into restoration: Implications from industrially harvested peatlands
(2011)In establishing effective restoration goals one of the four key issues of increased attention that Hobbs (2007) calls for is in the area of incorporating socio-economic investigations and theories into restoration practice ... -
Increased soil emissions of potent greenhouse gases under increased atmospheric CO2
(Nature, 2011)Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) can affect biotic and abiotic conditions in soil, such as microbial activity and water content1, 2. In turn, these changes might be expected to alter the ... -
Innovating with nature: from nature-based solutions to nature-based enterprises
(2021)Nature-based solutions (NBS) to address societal challenges have been widely recognised and adopted by governments in climate change and biodiversity strategies. Nevertheless, significant barriers exist for the necessary ... -
An integrated process for planning, delivery, and stewardship of urban nature-based solutions: the Connecting Nature Framework
(2023)Mainstreaming nature-based solutions in cities has grown in scale and magnitude in recent times but is still considered to be the main challenge for transitioning our cities and their communities to be more climate resilient ... -
Integrating Ecosystem Approaches, Green Infrastructure and Spatial Planning

Integrating stakeholder perspectives into environmental planning through social valuation of ecosystem services: Guidance and Prototype Applications
(OPERAs Project, 2017)Social – or socio-cultural – valuation of ecosystem services is the process of discovering what ecosystem services people value and how important they are to them. In this document, you find guidance to set up your own ... -
Interannual variation in nitrous oxide emissions from perennial ryegrass/white clover grassland used for dairy production.
(2014)Nitrous oxide (N2 O) emissions are subject to intra- and interannual variation due to changes in weather and management. This creates significant uncertainties when quantifying estimates of annual N2 O emissions from grazed ... -
Linear habitats across a range of farming intensities contribute differently to dipteran abundance and diversity.
(2020)1. While the value of linear farm habitats for the protection and enhancement of farmland biodiversity in general is known, less is understood about their contribution to Diptera, especially those with different ecological ... -
Local‐scale tree and shrub diversity improves pollination services to shea trees in tropical West African parklands
(2020)Shea Vitellaria paradoxa trees bear fruit and seeds of considerable economic, nutritional and cultural value in the African Sudano‐Sahelian zone. In much of West Africa, shea exists within an agroforestry system referred ... -
Long-term changes and drivers of biodiversity in Atlantic oakwoods
(Elsevier, 2013)Atlantic oakwoods are of high conservation value in western Europe. Developing effective conservation management policies requires data on the dynamics of woodland over long time scales. Such data are not available through ... -
Markers associated with heading and aftermath heading in perennial ryegrass full-sib families
(2016)Background Heading and aftermath heading are important traits in perennial ryegrass because they impact forage quality. So far, genome-wide association analyses in this major forage species have only identified a small ... -
Marriage exchanges, seed exchanges, and the dynamics of manioc diversity
(2011)The conservation of crop genetic resources requires understanding the different variables-cultural, social, and economic-that impinge on crop diversity. In small-scale farming systems, seed exchanges represent a key mechanism ...
