La ciencia comunitaria complementa la evaluación del riesgo de extinción – The Applied Ecologist

Comprender la probabilidad de extinción es fundamental para una gestión y conservación eficaces. Si bien dicha evaluación depende principalmente de un monitoreo riguroso y estandarizado (con los mejores datos disponibles), una investigación reciente de Acevedo-Charry et al (2025) presenta una forma complementaria en la que los datos recopilados por voluntarios pueden ayudar a estimar la […]

Earlier snowmelt impacts carbon cycling in montane meadows |

Olivia Vought, University of Michigan, discusses her article: Earlier snowmelt increases the strength of the carbon sink in montane meadows unequally across the growing season In cold, mountain regions, the climate is warming, causing snow to melt earlier. In fact, winters are changing faster than the warmer seasons in many seasonally cold places. However, how […]

Revised 2026 EU ETS auction calendars published

The published calendars reflect the cancellation of allowances relating to 2024 phase in of maritime emissions in the EU ETS and the inclusion of non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport activities. Maritime transport has been included in the EU ETS since 2024, with shipping companies required to surrender allowances for 40% of their emissions […]

How climate change affects carbon storage in Mediterranean pine forests – The Applied Ecologist

Reforestation is widely promoted as a way to mitigate climate change by capturing carbon from the atmosphere. However, its real success depends on how trees invest (allocate) the carbon they capture, that is, how much they invest to grow leaves, stems or roots, particularly under warmer and drier conditions. In this study, we analysed how […]

Rethinking how trees and their underground partners shape their soils |

Adam Weiler, Indiana University, discusses his article: Seeing the forest for all the trees: Mycorrhizal-associated nutrient economies are modulated by stem density and the synchrony between overstorey and understorey tree communities When we think about how forests influence the soil beneath them, it’s easy to picture the towering overstorey trees that define a woodland. These […]

Achieved a Major Goal—Let’s Set a New One

When we founded CSRHub in 2007, we imagined bringing together and harmonizing the “wisdom of the sustainability crowd.” We wanted to bring together the disparate views on corporate ESG performance from Wall Street analysts, not for profit researchers, membership organizations, government databases, and advocacy groups. We started adding data sources to our platform, one by […]

Commission adopts the main Horizon Europe Work Programme for 2026–2027 and dedicates €4.9 billion to climate action

Today, the European Commission adopted the main Horizon Europe Work Programme for 2026–2027, setting out the upcoming funding opportunities available under the programme. With a total budget of €14 billion, the work programme will dedicate at least 35% of its funding to climate goals. This will support both EU climate as well as competitiveness policy […]

Amidst the resplendence of Munnar’s sky islands – The Applied Ecologist

Madhumay Mallik from the Wildlife Trust of India recounts their experience researching grass frogs, and details what is being done to ensure that these and other frog species continue to thrive despite increasing challenges. Far away on the mountain peak were cotton clouds in restless sleep, tossing and turning. Before me, a lush pasture of […]

But only with semi-natural habitats nearby – The Applied Ecologist

Pollinators, like bumblebees, are essential for agriculture, yet they’re declining due to landscape simplification and habitat loss. In this blog post, Riho Marja and colleagues tell us more about their study. Riho Marja and his team explored the effect of field size on Bumble bee populations in Austria and Hungary. They explored this by setting […]
