High-resolution assessment of the carrying capacity and utilization intensity in mountain rangelands with remote sensing and field data by Harald Zandler, Kim André Vanselow, Sorosh Poya Faryabi, Ali Madad Rajabi, Stephane Ostrowski

“…Existing carrying capacity assessments are limited by low spatiotemporal resolution and high generalization, which hampers applied ecological management decisions. This paper provides an example for deriving the carrying capacity and utilization levels for cold drylands at a new level of detail by including major parts of the transhumance system. …”

Can biodiversity of preexisting and created salt marshes match across scales? An assessment from microbes to predators by Friedrich W. Keppeler, James R. Junker, Margaret J. Shaw, Scott B. Alford, Annette S. Engel, Linda M. Hooper‐Bùi, Olaf P. Jensen, Katelyn Lamb, Paola C. López‐Duarte, Charles W. Martin, Ashley M. McDonald, Jill A. Olin, Audrey T. Paterson, Michael J. Polito, Nancy N. Rabalais, Brian J. Roberts, Ryann E. Rossi, Erick M. Swenson

“…However, the numerous biodiversity metrics used to make these determinations are typically scale dependent and often conflicting. Here, we applied ecological theory to compare the diversity of different assemblages (surface and below‐surface soil microbes, plants, macroinfauna, spiders, and on‐marsh and off‐marsh nekton) between two created marshes (4–6 years old) and four reference marshes. …”

Sustainable production and distribution practices in Atlantic Canadian short food supply chains: Explorative study by Rebecca Balcom, Gumataw Kifle Abebe, Emmanuel K. Yiridoe, Christopher M. Hartt

“…Participants were asked what channel they used to sell their products and how far this location is in comparison to the production location if sold to an intermediary, how they believe they could better to improve the sustainability of their production methods, what barriers stood in their way of implementation, and how supply chain supporters could help achieve their sustainability goals.ResultsThe findings show that most farm businesses linked to SFCSs have applied ecologically sound production methods such as organic farming, IPM, or other sustainable practices, including regenerative agriculture and no-till farming. …”

Funding and stimulation mechanisms of the wetlands` ecosystem services conservation by N.V. Degtyar

“…In Ukraine the formation of organizational and economic tools of wetlands ecosystem services managing which is based primarily on a system of payments for ecosystem services needs to take into account the following measures: conducting thorough strategic research and applied ecological, economic and other sectorial studies, conducting systematic inventory of wetland and identifying lists of ecosystem services, development of long-term national and regional strategies of recovery, support regulation of the wetlands ecosystem functions, development and formation of the national register of ecosystem services (state and local), the introduction of a pilot practice of payments for ecosystem services; application the practice of the inter-territorial (domestic) offsets and compensation on the conservation, restoration, support ecosystem services, development and improvement of methodologies to assess the economic value of ecosystem services for different types of economic activity in view of the nature of territorial characteristics of Ukraine, formation of regional balance of the wetlands ecosystem services and identifying of «donor regions» and «acceptor regions» of different types of the wetlands ecosystem services in Ukraine, strengthening the regulatory framework of formation of payments and markets of ecosystem services.…”
