Habitat Fragmentation Increases Overall Richness, but Not of Habitat-Dependent Species
(2020)Debate rages as to whether habitat fragmentation leads to the decline of biodiversity once habitat loss is accounted for. Previous studies have defined fragmentation variously, but research needs to address “fragmentation ... -
Heritable Changes in Physiological Gas Exchange Traits in Response to Long-Term, Moderate Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment
(2019)Atmospheric carbon dioxide ([CO2]) concentrations significantly alter developmental plant traits with potentially far-reaching consequences for ecosystem function and productivity. However, contemporary evolutionary responses ... -
High levels of variation in Salix lignocellulose genes revealed using poplar genomic resources
(2013)Background Little is known about the levels of variation in lignin or other wood related genes in Salix, a genus that is being increasingly used for biomass and biofuel production. The lignin biosynthesis pathway is ... -
Homing ability of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris
(2001)The ability of bumblebees to locate their nest site following artificial displacement was investigated. Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers were marked with numbered tags and displaced up to 15 km from their ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
