Unequal barriers to nature's contributions to people impact quality of life

The paper surveys barriers to accessing nature's contributions to people in a French city, finding disparities by socio-demographic factors and their impact on quality of life.

Ecosystem service gradients at protected area borders reveal multiple patterns and prevalent management conflicts

The paper analyzes ecosystem service gradients at protected area borders to identify management trade-offs and opportunities for synergies.

Accounting for social feasibility in landscape-scale scenarios for restoring nature beyond protected areas

The paper compares two restoration scenarios in the French Alps, showing that social feasibility and biophysical effectiveness often conflict, with spatial allocation of interventions being key to successful implementation.

Mobile species' responses to surrounding land use generate trade-offs among nature's contributions to people

The paper predicts trade-offs among nature's contributions to people based on land-use patterns and species movement, finding that mixed forest-grassland areas maximize beneficial contributions and minimize detrimental ones.

Disparities in climate risk-mitigation and recreation services in Grenoble (France)

The paper assesses disparities in climate risk-mitigation and recreation services in Grenoble, France, finding lower climate benefits for low-income households but equal recreation access.

Mineral fertilization reduces the drought resistance of soil multifunctionality in a mountain grassland system through plant-soil interactions

This study shows that mineral fertilization reduces soil multifunctionality drought resistance in planted mountain grassland soils, but not in unplanted soils, through plant-soil interactions.

FAIRTraits: an environmentally, methodologically and semantically enriched database of plant traits from Mediterranean populations of 240 species

FAIRTraits is a database of plant traits from 240 Mediterranean species that follows FAIR principles to enhance data reusability and interoperability for ecological research.

One cannot have it all: trading-off ecosystem services and biodiversity bundles in landscape connectivity restoration

The paper evaluates how different landscape restoration configurations affect biodiversity and ecosystem services, finding that aggregation of restored areas benefits biodiversity and cultural values, while dispersed elements support sustainable production and climate adaptation.
