“…The drought degree has increased or decreased in varying degrees from 2010 to 2018, mainly in South Asia and East Asia with wetter dry conditions had become drier and drier, changing to drier conditions, while severe dry conditions in certain areas had changed to wetter conditions. Other relevant studies have also confirmed the accuracy of this result (Ummenhofer et al, 2013;Manolache et al, 2020;Chandrasekara et al, 2021;Hina et al, 2021). In addition, the study of Manolache et al (2020) explored the obstacles of different grassland management measures and the uniqueness to be considered in the selection, which was of great significance to provide different grassland management schemes for grassland ecosystems with different drought degrees.…”

Under the background of global climate change, the impact from drought on the ecosystem exhibits the characteristics of complexity and multi-process, especially for the main component, which is the grassland ecosystem of the overall ecosystem. Identifying past droughts and predicting future ones is vital in limiting their effects. However, the random and non-linear nature of drought variables makes accurate drought prediction still a challenging scientific problem. In this study, the boundaries, Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) of Asian Grassland Ecosystem (AGE) were obtained by Google Earth Engine (GEE), which were used to construct LST-EVI feature spaces to calculate the dry-wet edge fitting equations and Temperature Vegetation Drought Index (TVDI). Mann–Kendall test and Sen trend degrees were further used to analyze the drought trend of AGE. The results showed that there were obvious spatial differences in the wet and dry conditions of AGE, which showed that the TVDI increased from east to west and from north to south, with humid areas mainly concentrated in northern Asia and severe drought areas concentrated in southern Asia. From 2010 to 2018, the area of humid areas and severe drought areas of AGE decreased, and some humid areas changed to normal areas or even drought areas, while the drought in severe drought areas was alleviated. The results of the Sen trend test further show that the aggravating trend of drought in severe drought areas of South Asia is relatively low, and some areas show a trend of changing to humidity. However, there is an obvious aggravating trend of drought in humid areas or low drought areas of South Asia, these areas should also be the focus areas for drought prevention in the future. This study identified the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics and evaluated the evolution trend of the drought of AGE, which is of great significance to the management and prevention of drought of AGE.

“…Hence, effective conservation also depends on the protection of biodiversity outside of PAs. To do so, the development of incentives for targeted management practices to retain high diversity of species and habitats should be prioritized [79], yet scientific research that can support management decision is largely lacking [80]. We conducted this study in Romania, a heterogeneous and species-rich country, comprising five biogeographical regions.…”

Because it is impossible to comprehensively characterize biodiversity at all levels of organization, conservation prioritization efforts need to rely on surrogates. As species distribution maps of relished groups as well as high-resolution remotely sensed data increasingly become available, both types of surrogates are commonly used. A good surrogate should represent as much of biodiversity as possible, but it often remains unclear to what extent this is the case. Here, we aimed to address this question by assessing how well bird species and habitat diversity represent one another. We conducted our study in Romania, a species-rich country with high landscape heterogeneity where bird species distribution data have only recently started to become available. First, we prioritized areas for conservation based on either 137 breeding bird species or 36 habitat classes, and then evaluated their reciprocal surrogacy performance. Second, we examined how well these features are represented in already existing protected areas. Finally, we identified target regions of high conservation value for the potential expansion of the current network of reserves (as planned under the new EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030). We found that bird species were a better surrogate for habitat diversity than vice versa. Highly ranked areas based on habitat diversity were represented better than areas based on bird species, which varied considerably between species. Our results highlight that taxonomic and environmental (i.e., habitat types) data may perform rather poorly as reciprocal surrogates, and multiple sources of data are required for a full evaluation of protected areas expansion.

“…The general aim of this paper is to understand the constellation of stakeholders involved in crane conservation in the CCZ. To achieve this, we performed a social network analysis, as it provides an ideal framework to analyze how management structures are formed and coordinated (Bodin et al, 2019; Manolache et al, 2020). We adopted the interview‐based participatory network‐mapping tool Net‐Map (Schiffer & Hauck, 2010).…”

Biodiversity conservation in protected areas requires strict legal limitations to land use. In the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) of the Republic of Korea (ROK), military control has created an accidental sanctuary for the world's rarest crane species: the white‐naped crane (Antigone vipio) and the red‐crowned crane (Grus japonensis). Yet varying land use demands on the CCZ by stakeholders have caused disagreements in achieving cooperative crane conservation. This paper aims to clarify relevant stakeholders' interconnection and their motives that have led them to either promote or inhibit crane conservation in the Cheorwon Basin of the CCZ. To answer these questions, we conducted participatory Net‐Map interviews and identified stakeholders with a powerful role in crane conservation. Our results identify 44 stakeholders whose trust relations occurred twice as often as conflicts. More than 80% of stakeholders included in this study supported crane conservation initiatives. We attribute local farmers' increased level of environmental stewardship to two key schemes: a community‐led farming project generating financial incentives and a communication channel for stakeholders. Our case study demonstrates that Net‐Map is a valid tool to analyze human‐crane interactions, which is critical to ensure acceptance of legal restrictions to land use as well as crane conservation.
