Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore

ABSTRACT Habitat connectivity is critical for long‐term wildlife population persistence, yet the permeability of landscape features can vary with human activity and disturbance history. Characterizing landscape features influencing permeability is critical for landscape planning...

Transplanted bivalves record subseasonal shifts in isotopic and elemental proxies for salinity in subtropical estuaries

Context Geochemical proxies in bivalve shells can reconstruct past environmental conditions in dynamic estuaries, yet field-based validation of how quickly these proxies respond to ambient water fluctuations remains limited. Aims This study evaluated eastern oyster (Crassostrea v...

Pedogenic controls on organic carbon accumulation in Phaeozem and Histosol profiles of the Ciuc intramontane depression, Eastern Carpathians, Romania

Abstract Intramontane depressions of the Eastern Carpathians host soils with substantial organic carbon enrichment, yet profile-based documentation of the pedogenic mechanisms involved remains limited. This study presents two contrasting soil profiles from the Ciuc intramontane d...
