Does fire limit tropical tree cover?
What happens when we remove fire from the tropics? Our study reveals the surprising impact fire has on tropical tree cover—and why it’s more complex than we thought.
China’s Clean Air Action plans promote ecosystem productivity
In this study, we found robust recovery of terrestrial productivity from reducing both aerosols and surface ozone due to the implementation of China’s Clean Air Action, emphasizing the dual benefits of air pollution control for improving public health and achieving carbon neutrality in China.
Unveiling the 'hidden' effects of subclinical infection - a movement ecology perspective
Parasitism is one of the most ubiquitous strategies across ecosystems. Yet, wildlife researchers often assume animals are healthy and performing optimally. In reality, many carry 'hidden' infections with masked symptoms that nevertheless affect movement capacity, potentially impacting host fitness.
