Managing fire regimes in north Australian savannas: applying Aboriginal approaches to contemporary global problems
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 11 Số s1 - 2013
Jeremy Russell‐Smith, Garry D. Cook, P. Cooke, Andrew Edwards, Mitchell Lendrum, CP Meyer, Peter Whitehead
Savannas constitute the most fire‐prone biome on Earth and annual emissions from savanna‐burning activities are a globally important source of greenhouse‐gas (GHG) emissions. Here, we describe the application of a commercial fire‐management program being implemented over 28 000 km2 of savanna on Aboriginal lands in northern Australia. The project combines the reinstate...... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptive co‐management for social–ecological complexity
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 95-102 - 2009
Derek Armitage, Ryan Plummer, Fikret Berkes, Robert Arthur, Anthony Charles, Iain J. Davidson‐Hunt, Alan P. Diduck, Nancy C. Doubleday, Derek Johnson, Melissa Marschke, Patrick McConney, Evelyn Pinkerton, Eva Wollenberg
Building trust through collaboration, institutional development, and social learning enhances efforts to foster ecosystem management and resolve multi‐scale society–environment dilemmas. One emerging approach aimed at addressing these dilemmas is adaptive co‐management. This method draws explicit attention to the learning (experiential and experimental) and collaboration (vertical and hori...... hiện toàn bộ
Nitrogen fluxes from the landscape are controlled by net anthropogenic nitrogen inputs and by climate
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 37-43 - 2012
Robert W. Howarth, Dennis P. Swaney, Gilles Billen, Josette Garnier, Bongghi Hong, Christoph Humborg, Penny J Johnes, Carl‐Magnus Mörth, Roxanne Marino
The flux of nitrogen (N) to coastal marine ecosystems is strongly correlated with the “net anthropogenic nitrogen inputs” (NANI) to the landscape across 154 watersheds, ranging in size from 16 km2 to 279 000 km2, in the US and Europe. When NANI values are greater than 1070 kg N km−2 yr−1, an average of 25% ...... hiện toàn bộ
Barriers to and opportunities for landward migration of coastal wetlands with sea‐level rise
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 307-316 - 2016
Nicholas M. Enwright, Kereen T. Griffith, Michael J. Osland
In the 21st century, accelerated sea‐level rise and continued coastal development are expected to greatly alter coastal landscapes across the globe. Historically, many coastal ecosystems have responded to sea‐level fluctuations via horizontal and vertical movement on the landscape. However, anthropogenic activities, including urbanization and the construction of flood‐prevention infrastruc...... hiện toàn bộ
Coastal infrastructure: a typology for the next century of adaptation to sea‐level rise
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 13 Số 9 - Trang 468-476 - 2015
Kristina E. Hill
Categorizing the choices in coastal infrastructure that are available to policy makers will allow for comparisons of their potential impacts on ecosystems and of their value in preparation for long‐term sea‐level rise. Although similar approaches have been described elsewhere in different policy contexts, this article focuses on evaluating physical infrastructure types – including hybrid s...... hiện toàn bộ
Integrating concepts and technologies to advance the study of bird migration
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 8 Số 7 - Trang 354-361 - 2010
W. Douglas Robinson, Melissa S. Bowlin, Isabelle Bisson, Judy Shamoun‐Baranes, Kasper Thorup, Robert H. Diehl, Thomas Kunz, Sarah E. Mabey, David W. Winkler
Recent technological innovation has opened new avenues in migration research – for instance, by allowing individual migratory animals to be followed over great distances and long periods of time, as well as by recording physiological information. Here, we focus on how technology – specifically applied to bird migration – has advanced our knowledge of migratory connectivity, and the behavio...... hiện toàn bộ
The grassland–forest continuum: trends in ecosystem properties for woody plant mosaics?
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 96-104 - 2006
David D. Breshears
Assessing the global threat of invasive species to marine biodiversity
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 6 Số 9 - Trang 485-492 - 2008
Jennifer Molnar, Rebecca L Gamboa, Carmen Revenga, Mark Spalding
Although invasive species are widely recognized as a major threat to marine biodiversity, there has been no quantitative global assessment of their impacts and routes of introduction. Here, we report initial results from the first such global assessment. Drawing from over 350 databases and other sources, we synthesized information on 329 marine invasive species, including their distributio...... hiện toàn bộ
The history of public participation in ecological research
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 285-290 - 2012
Abraham J. Miller‐Rushing, Richard B. Primack, Rick Bonney
Members of the public have for centuries recorded their observations of the natural world, including plant and animal distribution and phenology, water quality, weather data, and astronomical phenomena. Given the relatively recent growth of ecological research as a professional field of study, the historical contributions of amateurs to ecology can be easily overlooked. To better understan...... hiện toàn bộ
Bridging the nature gap: can citizen science reverse the extinction of experience?
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment - Tập 16 Số 7 - Trang 405-411 - 2018
Stephanie Schuttler, Amanda E. Sorensen, Rebecca Jordan, Caren B. Cooper, Assaf Shwartz
Opportunities for people to interact with nature have declined over the past century, as many now live in urban areas and spend much of their time indoors. Conservation attitudes and behaviors largely depend on experiences with nature, and this “extinction of experience” (EOE) is a threat to biodiversity conservation. In this pa...... hiện toàn bộ
