Invasive alien species (IAS) can cause the extinction of a taxon. However, debate continues over the significance of IAS as drivers of extinction globally, the level of threat they pose to endangered species, and whether conservation efforts against...
Globally, timber production continues to dominate multiple-use forest management despite evidence from many managed landscapes that ecological integrity and biodiversity are not being sustained under that land-use model. This includes Algonquin Park...
Economic connectedness has been recently found to lower income inequality by rising intergenerational mobility, yet its environmental impacts are less well known. More well-known is the fact that the non-carbon footprint is easier to reach via regula...
Analysis of historical and future land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics using spatiotemporal data is crucial for better management of natural resources and environmental monitoring. This study investigated LULC transformations over a span of 60 years (...
Potassium (K) is present in soils mainly in minerals, including feldspar. However, most of it is unavailable to plants. In the in-dyked alluvial soils of the Mekong Delta, available K is typically low despite the abundance of K-bearing feldspar, lead...
Organo-mineral fertilizers can slow N release to plants, reducing N losses to the environment and enhancing N use efficiency (NUE). Yet, this greater NUE is not always coupled to greater crop yields, which warrants further investigation. Here, we ass...
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is an important agreement committing 196 countries (the United States is not part of GBF) to reduce and stop the loss of biodiversity by 2030. Biodiversity and soil diversity (pedodiversity) ar...
Wetlands provide the world with important ecosystem services (ES) including carbon (C) storage. The Ramsar Convention (RC) is the only global treaty on wetlands outside of the United Nations (UN) with 172 contracting parties across the world as of 20...
