Colonial legacy and traps in the social-ecological systems of forest management by C.D.A. Depari

“…The concept of the rigidity trap pertains to a reforestation strategy that utilized laborers and territories for ecological conservation, restricted local communities from utilizing forests, and diminished biodiversity by favoring the introduction of non-native Acacia decurrens.CONCLUSION: To address traps, this study recommends the need to use a panarchy approach that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of social-ecological systems and to transfer governance to local people which must be based on an in-depth understanding of the local history, knowledge, and cultures.…”

Characterization of soundscapes with acoustic indices and clustering reveals phenology patterns in a subtropical rainforest by Yan-Tin Lai, Sheng-Shan Lu, Ming-Tang Shiao

“…Our study confirms that acoustic indices can extract meaningful ecological features, and unsupervised algorithms offer valuable insights into biodiversity exploration data-scarce regions. The combination of these methods has led to the development of non-species-specific soundscape classification, which not only facilitates the monitoring of phenological dynamics across multiple biological groups in the face of climate change but also lays the foundation for further exploration of key taxa.…”
