recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10935

Abstract: Abstract Scavenging mammals and vultures can exploit and deplete carcasses much faster than other birds and invertebrates. Vultures are strongly influenced by habitat type, e.g. tree cover, since they rely on their eyesight to detect… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72594

Abstract: ABSTRACT Open terrestrial ecosystems such as savannas have been experiencing marked increases in woody cover driven by shrub encroachment. Despite this widespread pattern, understanding the consequences for faunal communities remains challenging because long‐term data are… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4376

Abstract: Though it is well known that vegetation affects the water balance of soils through canopy interception and evapotranspiration, its hydrological contribution to soil hydrology and stability is yet to be fully quantified. To improve understanding… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "River Research and Applications"

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3598

Abstract: Riparian tree planting is increasingly being used as a strategy to shade river corridors and offset the impact of climate change on river temperature. Because the circumstances under which tree planting generates the greatest impact… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Urban Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-018-0760-z

Abstract: Tree planting and reforestation initiatives in urban and peri-urban areas often use tree distribution or “giveaway” programs as a strategy to increase tree cover and subsequent benefits. However, the effectiveness of these programs in terms of… read more here.
