Searching for the “politics of the possible” in flexitarianism (2023)
Journal Article

The paper builds on recent flexitarianism scholarship by approaching this heterogeneous dietary category as a socio-cultural and political economic, rather than just a psychological phenomenon. It does this by drawing on Edmund Harris’s conceptualiza... Read More about Searching for the “politics of the possible” in flexitarianism.

Traits of dominant plant species drive normalized difference vegetation index in grasslands globally (2023)
Journal Article

Aim: Theoretical, experimental and observational studies have shown that biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships are influenced by functional community structure through two mutually non-exclusive mechanisms: (1) the dominance effect (...

Unraveling Amazon tree community assembly using Maximum Information Entropy: a quantitative analysis of tropical forest ecology (2023)
Journal Article

In a time of rapid global change, the question of what determines patterns in species abundance distribution remains a priority for understanding the complex dynamics of ecosystems. The constrained maximization of information entropy provides a frame...

Developing a “Sponge Catchment Management Plan (SCMP)” framework at the catchment scale: The case of Guiyang, SW China (2023)
Journal Article

Catchment floods are more challenging due to intensive urbanization and climate change. Enlightened by the Low Impact Development (LID), China initiated the Sponge City Program (SCP) to transform Urban Flood Management (UFM) to be more environmentall...

Links to rare climates do not translate into distinct traits for island endemics (2023)
Journal Article

Current models of island biogeography treat endemic and non-endemic species as if they were functionally equivalent, focussing primarily on species richness. Thus, the functional composition of island biotas in relation to island biogeographical vari... Read More about Links to rare climates do not translate into distinct traits for island endemics.

Editorial: Lianas, ecosystems, and global change (2023)
Journal Article

Lianas (woody vines) are an abundant and diverse plant group in tropical ecosystems (Gentry, 1991; Dewalt et al., 2014). While they enhance forest canopy connectivity and provide food and shelter for tropical fauna (Yanoviak and Schnitzer, 2013; Schn... Read More about Editorial: Lianas, ecosystems, and global change.

Anticipating Sino-UK fintech networks and the changing geographies of money as infrastructure (2023)
Journal Article

This paper examines Sino-UK financial relations in the fintech sector. Through an empirical focus on fintech payments systems, the analysis locates fintech within broader research on the internationalisation of Chinese finance. Conceptually, the pape...

Relationships between soil and badger elemental concentrations across a heterogeneously contaminated landscape (2023)
Journal Article

Understanding the links between environmental and wildlife elemental concentrations is key to help assess ecosystem functions and the potential effects of legacy pollutants. In this study, livers from 448 European badgers (Meles meles) collected acro...

Predicting spatial distribution of stable isotopes in precipitation by classical geostatistical- and machine learning methods (2023)
Journal Article

Stable isotopes of precipitation are important natural tracers in hydrology, ecology, and forensics. The spatially explicit predictions of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in precipitation are obtained through different interpolation te...

Ecosystem deterioration in the middle Yangtze floodplain lakes over the last two centuries: Evidence from sedimentary pigments (2023)
Journal Article

Water quality of floodplain lakes in the Yangtze region which supports ca. 450 million people is being severely compromised by nutrient pollution, climate change and dam installation resulting from intensive socio-economic development. However, due t... Read More about Ecosystem deterioration in the middle Yangtze floodplain lakes over the last two centuries: Evidence from sedimentary pigments.

An 1800-year oxygen-isotope record of short- and long-term hydroclimate variability in the northern neotropics from a Jamaican marl lake (2023)
Journal Article

Hydroclimate variability on multi-decadal timescales has been a prominent feature of the circum-Caribbean region over the common era, with marked dry intervals noted in particular for the period 800–950 CE coinciding with the Terminal Classic Period...

Deep Feature and Domain Knowledge Fusion Network for Mapping Surface Water Bodies by Fusing Google Earth RGB and Sentinel-2 images (2023)
Journal Article

Mapping surface water bodies from fine spatial resolution optical remote sensing imagery is essential for the understanding of the global hydrologic cycle. Although satellite data are useful for mapping, the limited spectral information captured by s...
