To understand the effects of SLR and freshwater management on landscape carbon (C) exchange, we measured the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO₂ between subtropical wetland ecosystems and the atmosphere along a dynamic salinity gradient. Ecosystems were representative of freshwater marl prairies, brackish ecotones, and saline scrub mangrove forests in the southeastern Everglades. Patterns in NEE explained the landward movement of coastal wetlands, a process observed over the last 70 years. The capacity to capture C was greatest along the coast in the scrub mangrove (-294 ± 0.02 g C m^-2 y^-1) and declined inland into marl prairies (-47 ± 0.03 g C m^-2 y^-1). Low resilience to current conditions was evident in marl prairies, a result of the legacy impacts of water diversion throughout the greater Everglades. Although the southeastern Everglades captured approximately 115 metric tons of C in 2021, if the ecotone continues to advance at 25 m y^-1 over the next century, we project a 12 % increase (16 mt C y^-1) in net CO₂ capture. Results emphasize that initial functional responses to changes in conditions may not accurately represent long-term outcomes and highlight the role of brackish ecotone communities as the frontline for climate- and management-induced shifts in coastal ecosystem structure and function. This is the first study to use disequilibrium dynamics to understand landscape-level transitions and their implications for C capture.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"387 ","pages":"125842"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144155394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We therefore tracked the movements of 32 adult Leisler's bats from three local colonies with miniaturised Global Positioning System (GPS) loggers in two consecutive summers in a landscape that consists of a mosaic of woodland, forest plantations and farmland in Germany and in which wind energy production is expanding. We then analysed the habitat preferences of bats and how they interact with local wind turbines using an integrated step selection function in which we differentiated between roosting, commuting and foraging. Most spatial positions of Leisler's bats overlapped with the rotor-swept zone of local wind turbines, indicating that this species may be vulnerable at turbines. Further, Leisler's bats preferred oak woodlands and urban spaces, but avoided coniferous forests. For roosting, Leisler's bats preferred urban areas, probably because old trees were available along lanes or in churchyards. We call for careful landscape-scale management of oak woodlands and urban green spaces, particularly the preservation of old trees to support populations of Leisler's bats and other forest-affiliated bats. Furthermore, wind turbines should be sited well away from Leisler's bat colonies, as the flight altitude of Leisler's bats overlaps with the operating range of wind turbines, putting them at risk of being attracted to wind turbines during foraging trips.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"387 ","pages":"125753"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144155393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, public resistance remains the primary barrier to the long-term and widespread implementation of any water reuse initiative. Hence, it is paramount to gain exhaustive insights into the motivations and mechanisms behind voluntary RTG adoption behavior, contributing to devising more impactful strategies for promoting such initiatives. Although environmental psychology has laid a robust groundwork in understanding pro-environmental behaviors and identifying entry points of behavioral intervention, a notable gap persists in RTG research, particularly in the Middle East, such as Iran. Hence, this research sought to explore the psychosocial drivers underlying households' RTG adoption through introducing an innovative theoretical framework that integrates the theory of planned behavior with the norm activation model, further extended by perceived risk and anticipated emotions (guilt and pride). A questionnaire was developed based on an extensive literature review and distributed in Isfahan City via an online self-administered survey, utilizing a blend of convenience sampling and cluster sampling techniques (N = 375). Data analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS software, revealing that: (1) the framework explained 74.7 % and 73.3 % of the variance in intention and behavior; (2) attitude manifested as the most significant determinant of intention, followed by moral norms, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and perceived risk; and (3) behavior was predicted by intention, perceived risk, and PBC. Beyond its novel theoretical contributions, the findings laid a solid foundation for policies promoting RTG adoption: (1) launching awareness campaigns to raise public knowledge of water scarcity and its associated risks; (2) enhancing individuals' sense of control through financial incentives and education programs; and (3) emphasizing the benefits of RTG adoption and the moral duty to protect water resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"387 ","pages":"125867"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144155396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on conformity theory, we hypothesize and find that junior auditors are more likely to conform to a team consensus of senior members, and feel less comfortable with sharing their own risk assessment with the team, particularly when working in an authenticity climate.
