Land-use change undermines the stability of avian functional diversity - Nature
Abstract Land-use change causes widespread shifts in the composition and functional diversity of species assemblages. However, its impact on ecosystem resilience remains uncertain. The stability of ecosystem functioning may increase after land-use change because the most sensitive species are removed, which leaves more resilient survivors1,2,3.
Solution Deep-Dive: Cleangreens’s Greenova
A visit to Cleangreen's installation with the Solar Impulse Foundation Cleangreens has come up with an innovative agricultural solution at its R&D center in Molondin, Switzerland. The Greenova solution aims to revolutionise greenhouse agriculture by developing aeroponic growing systems as an alternative to hydroponic models. What exactly are aeroponic or hydroponic mechanisms ?

Climate-driven variation in dispersal ability predicts responses to forest fragmentation in birds - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Abstract Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher latitudes has removed fragmentation-sensitive species or promoted the evolution of more resilient survivors.
Balancing sustainability and innovation in education Original
As recipients of public funding and taxpayer dollars, K-12 school budgets and spending expenditures are under a microscope. Relief funds stemming from the pandemic have only sharpened the focus, particularly on infrastructure and technology investments. In my role as Chief Technology Officer at one of the nation’s largest school districts, Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), being accountable and ensuring we are making prudent financial decisions is a top priority for my team.
