Finding mobility in place attachment research: lessons for managed retreat by Robin Willcocks-Musselman, Robin Willcocks-Musselman, Julia Baird, Karen Foster, Julia Woodhall-Melnik, Kate Sherren

“…We find that place attachment and mobility research has contributed to the development of a more complex and dynamic view of place attachment: such research has explored the role of place attachment as either constraining or prompting decisions to relocate, and started to explore how the place attachment process responds to disruptions and influences recovery from relocation. Beyond informing managed retreat scholars and practitioners, this research synthesis identifies several areas that need more attention. …”

Temperature- and ontogeny-dependent metabolism in invasive early juvenile round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) by Hunter A. Herron, Sina Zarini, William Andrew Thompson, Andy J. Turko, Sigal Balshine

“…The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is the fastest spreading invasive fish in the Laurentian Great Lakes, and concurrent invasions are occurring globally. To inform management and mitigation strategies, metabolic rate of adult round goby has been rigorously quantified, but metabolism of the juvenile life stages represents an important knowledge gap. …”

Integrated response of crop yields and greenhouse gas emissions to cropland management practices and natural factors: a global meta-analysis by Jiahui Dong, Shikun Sun, Guolong Zhan, Jingxin Sun, Yihe Tang, Yubao Wang

“…The effects of cropland management on yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions vary among crops, and comprehensive and quantitative analyses of relevant factors are needed to make informed management decisions. The study assessed the response of global crop yields and GHG to cropland management and natural factors (including mean annual temperature, mean annual rainfall, soil pH, soil C N ratio (SCN), soil organic matter, crop type, biochar (application rate Brate, biochar feedstock, C N ratio BCN, biochar pH BPH, biochar organic matter BTC), irrigation, N fertilizer (Nrate), tillage, straw management, plastic film mulch, duration of experiment, economic development, geographic location (state, country)) involving 167 papers from 17 crops in 27 countries, with a total of 1249 pairs of observations by using meta-analysis. …”
