Rewilding principles could be applied to any type of landscape, which raises the possibility of employing rewilding approaches in agricultural areas while maintaining some degree of food production therein. Moving beyond the simple dichotomy of land sparing versus land sharing, here we propose a multi-scale approach that integrates rewilding principles into agricultural landscapes by combining the creation of wilder ecosystems in separate set-aside recovered areas with the implementation of farming approaches that are more sustainable, such as precision farming, ecologically intensified farming, and extensive farming, in adjacent areas. Adoption of such approaches would allow for more biodiversity elements to persist within the agricultural matrix. We explain how this approach could support the three critical components of rewilded land—dispersal, trophic complexity, and stochastic disturbances—and create agroecological landscapes that are biodiverse, resilient, and functionally connected at multiple scales.</p>","PeriodicalId":171,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment","volume":"23 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fee.2860","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because extreme events can be large and relatively infrequent, they test institutional capacity to support recovery and restoration. When hurricanes and other large-scale disturbances like wildfires occur, much of the impacted landscape receives little to no active management. Ecosystems are often allowed to either recover or transition without much direct intervention, and successional dynamics are sometimes altered by novel invasive species, management history, or other environmental changes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recovery and restoration are especially challenging for landscapes with highly fragmented private ownership, such as the forests of the eastern US. Acting alone, non-industrial private forest landowners have little capacity to effectively respond to unexpected forest loss and to oversee forest recovery, as the scale of actions needed after extreme events may require cooperation across ownerships or jurisdictions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In September 2024, Hurricane Helene exposed these underlying vulnerabilities of southern Appalachian forests. In western North Carolina alone, about 196,000 hectares of forest received major damage from Hurricane Helene, with most impacts occurring on private lands and in unusually large blowdown patches with no known regional precedent. Not since the widespread forest loss of the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to extensive logging and the American chestnut blight have so few trees covered the region's slopes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This enormous damage to southern Appalachian forests raises concerns about loss of wildlife habitat, increased wildfire risks due to the abundance of fuel, reduced water quality from erosion and sedimentation, and spread of invasive species. Damaged forests are likely to reestablish as novel ecosystems composed of new species assemblages with a suite of interactions and processes that differ from prior conditions. On public and private lands, the duration of forest recovery will take decades or more and will be highly dependent on management choices and market incentives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since Hurricane Helene, disaster relief crews continue to work hard to remove fallen trees and debris near structures, roads, trails, and recreation areas as time and funds are available. However, removing downed and damaged wood is more costly and dangerous than typical forest harvesting. Piles of downed, unused wood may be burned, but combustion releases smoke and carbon into the atmosphere. Historically, debris burning and arson are the region's primary sources of wildfire ignitions, and it is hard to control burns when so many of the surrounding forests have high flammability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A major dilemma is what to do with all this downed wood and debris from Hurricane Helene and how to pay for its removal.

In the field of ecology, LLMs are already being applied to a wide range of tasks, such as extracting georeferenced data or taxonomic entities from unstructured texts, information synthesis, coding, and teaching (&lt;i&gt;Methods Ecol Evol&lt;/i&gt; 2024; &lt;i&gt;Npj Biodivers&lt;/i&gt; 2024). Further development and increased use of LLMs in ecology, as in science in general, is likely to intensify and accelerate the process of research and increase publication output—thus pressuring scientists to keep up with the elevated pace, which in turn creates a feedback loop by promoting even greater LLM use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, this all comes at a cost. While not directly borne by end users, aside from occasional response delays, LLMs require considerable computational power and are energy-demanding during both their initial training phase and their subsequent operational use (&lt;i&gt;Nature&lt;/i&gt; 2025). Furthermore, partly externalized energy costs are linked to intensive searching and processing of discovered sources as part of Deep Research. Currently, it remains challenging to estimate the total energy costs of LLMs, largely due to limited transparency from their companies of origin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ways to improve LLM sustainability, for example by algorithmic or hardware optimization and renewable energy use during development and operation, have been extensively examined. However, we contend that the role of end users, including researchers, has been largely overlooked. End users can and should be part of the solution, to their own benefit. By selecting less resource-intensive options, optimizing their prompts, or selecting platforms that use renewable energy sources, users would not only contribute to LLM sustainability but also improve their own workflows. Besides reducing energy consumption, a more parsimonious use of LLMs could also lessen other harms, such as cooling water use and extraction of rare earth metals. Consequently, companies should support users in making such informed choices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For instance, most companies provide LLMs of different complexities or sizes, often measured by the number of parameters. Relying on the largest models can be excessive in many cases (eg answering emails, checking grammar, or conducting searches that could be done by traditional search engines). By selecting a smaller, less energy-intensive model, users can also benefit from quicker responses. In addition, some smaller models are trained to perform specific tasks, eg coding, and can thus match or outperform bigger ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another potential way to reduce energy costs and save user time is to trim the expected length and complexity of the model's response. For example, for some questions, an elaborate answer is unnecessary, if not counterproductive (ie because it takes time to read through); in other cases, only code is needed, without any further explanations. And this can be directly specified in the prompt.&lt;","PeriodicalId":171,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment","volume":"23 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fee.2856","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodological advances in monitoring and data science have made it easier to document animal communities. We highlight examples of these advances and how they remove barriers to adopting animal-specific integrity metrics. We then illustrate how describing animal communities in terms of functional ecology, which has also undergone substantial development over the past several decades, can provide a generalizable approach to incorporating animal communities into integrity-based monitoring across taxa and ecosystems.

Despite increased awareness, efforts to foster inclusivity within scientific communities often perpetuate existing biases. Studies claiming to have global representation among their authors are, in reality, mostly skewed to authors from particular countries, typically those that are more economically developed within a given continent. For instance, in research collaborations that include authors from South America, Africa, and Asia, those authors are primarily affiliated with only a few economically developed countries—such as Brazil, South Africa, and China—leaving many other nations on those continents underrepresented. In general, this could deceptively suggest that research is not being conducted in the underrepresented countries. Besides providing a misleading image of global inclusiveness, excluding voices from these regions leads to data gaps and diminished spatial coverage of studies, and overlooks opportunities to enhance scientific capacity in marginalized countries (Shaaban &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This issue is partly driven by international research networks and consortia favoring established “traditional” institutions and experts, alongside the persistence of “parachute research” practices. Scientists from regionally misrepresented countries often face limited professional visibility (eg online profiles, personal websites), as well as restricted access to international conferences, funding, and collaboration networks—further entrenching their geographic exclusion. In addition, many scholars from underrepresented countries often publish research in non-English languages or local scientific journals, both of which are vastly unavailable in or excluded from major international scholarly bibliographic databases (eg Web of Science, Scopus; Chowdhury &lt;i&gt;et al&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Consequently, relying on such databases to ascertain representation within so-called global projects, assessments, and analyses (hereafter, global studies) provides a highly incomplete picture of the actual research landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An analysis of the involvement of authors from misrepresented countries in global studies within the wider field of ecology and conservation (for methods, see Appendix 1: Panel S1) revealed strong regional disparities (Figure 1). In the publications that originated from these global studies (3731 in all), collaborations and authorship tended to be regionally concentrated in only a few economically developed countries, while regionally low-income countries were rarely involved.

In fact, they are nowhere nearly as ubiquitous compared to where they used to be. Estimates suggest that while as many as 400 million beavers (&lt;i&gt;Castor canadensis&lt;/i&gt;) were present in North America prior to European colonialization, there are around 10 million now. In Europe, by the end of the 19th century, the total number of Eurasian beavers (&lt;i&gt;Castor fiber&lt;/i&gt;) was estimated to be just 1200 individuals scattered across eight isolated populations. A recent estimate puts the Eurasian beaver population at 1.5 million individuals (&lt;i&gt;Mamm Rev&lt;/i&gt; 2021).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reintroduction of beaver populations represents a major conservation success. Although modern beaver populations remain a fraction of their historical numbers, due to centuries of trapping and habitat loss, their recovery can be attributed to a suite of factors including not only effective conservation and legal protections, habitat restoration, and conflict resolution strategies, but also increased public awareness. Their resurgence, juxtaposed with the near-extirpation of &lt;i&gt;C canadensis&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;C fiber&lt;/i&gt; from North America and Europe, respectively, may contribute to the perception that beavers are now widespread. However, recognizing this recovery within the context of historical population baselines underscores the continuing need for conservation and habitat restoration efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Human fascination with this cute, orange-toothed, semi-aquatic rodent is encapsulated in several successful popular press books including &lt;i&gt;Eager: The surprising, secret life of beavers and why they matter&lt;/i&gt; (White River Junction, VT: Chelsea Green) by Ben Goldfarb; &lt;i&gt;Beaverland: How one weird rodent made America&lt;/i&gt; (New York, NY: Twelve) by Leila Philip; and &lt;i&gt;Bringing back the beaver: The story of one man's quest to rewild Britain's waterways&lt;/i&gt; (White River Junction, VT: Chelsea Green) by Derek Gow. And there is now among the public a growing recognition of the ecological roles beavers play across the landscape. As ecosystem engineers, they actively shape their environments by regulating water flow, enhancing landscape resilience to wildfire, and creating critical habitat for a diverse array of species. A review out of the University of Helsinki of the ecosystem services that beavers provide would put a value of about $900 per hectare per year where beavers are active (&lt;i&gt;Mamm Rev&lt;/i&gt; 2021).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our lab began studying beavers after a 15-meter-long dam appeared seemingly overnight in one of the University of Vermont's Natural Areas. While students celebrated the new habitat, reactions were mixed, prompting us to reroute a trail and install signage highlighting the ecological benefits of these ecosystem engineers.
