This study examined how intestinal parasite diversity changes with habitat dryness using Guinean baboons and West African crocodiles as models. Through DNA metabarcoding of 258 samples, multiple parasite species—including some zoonotic—were identified. Results showed that parasite richness decreases with increasing aridity, especially in terrestrial hosts, highlighting ecological and public health implications in climate-sensitive regions.

This study examines how early competition influences growth and structure in young mixed forests. Results show that competition strongly affects height, biomass allocation, and species interactions. Managing competition early is crucial for maintaining diversity, reducing dominance, and building climate-resilient forests, making early interventions more effective and cost-efficient.

This study reviews mangroves of the Americas and their vulnerability to climate change. Mangroves are vital carbon sinks, biodiversity hotspots, and coastal protectors, but face threats from deforestation, pollution, and urban expansion. Effective conservation requires ecosystem-based restoration, improved management, and reduced human pressures to ensure long-term resilience.

This study analyzed long-term changes in forest composition in the Spanish Iberian Range using National Forest Inventory data and Landsat imagery. Results show a significant shift from monospecific to mixed forests, with mixed stands nearly doubling over three decades. Satellite-derived vegetation indices successfully detected these temporal dynamics.

This study examines whether burned area from forest fires in Portugal can be predicted using satellite, weather, and time-series data. Results show human-caused fires dominate over natural ones, and predictive models achieved around 95% accuracy, demonstrating strong potential for improving resource allocation and fire management strategies.

Pakistan is highly vulnerable to climate change due to low forest cover, rising temperatures, glacier melting, floods, droughts, and agricultural decline. With only 4.2 million hectares of forest, impacts are severe. Government initiatives like the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami and mangrove restoration aim to improve resilience and environmental sustainability.

This project applies dendrochronological methods to restored Andean forests in Colombia. It evaluates whether tropical species form annual rings, models their growth over time, and compares results with long-term plot data. The study focuses on Juglans neotropica, Cedrela montana, and Quercus humboldtii, integrating wood anatomy and climatic analysis.

This study analyzed plant community succession in Mediterranean ecosystems affected by climate stress and wildfires. Results show that early stages are dominated by abiotic filters, while biotic interactions grow over time. Biodiversity increases with succession, but frequent disturbances limit recovery, shaping long-term functional and phylogenetic community structure.

This research examines whether long-term organic soil management improves climate resilience. Using a 27-year field experiment, the study shows that compost and manure significantly improve soil structure, reduce compaction, and increase water retention. Results demonstrate that sustained organic practices can transform fragile soils into resilient systems for future food security.

This research compares Earth’s energy balance to a personal budget and examines how aerosols—especially black carbon—disturb that balance. By simulating how black carbon interacts with cloud droplets and light, the study helps improve understanding of climate impacts. The goal is better climate modeling and reducing harmful atmospheric pollution.
