📌New Publication Led by Arash Ghoddousi, our study on 52 protected areas (PAs) in the Caucasus shows challenges in preventing rangeland degradation from overgrazing. Multiple-use PAs were notably less effective than strictly protected ones. Conservation Biology conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Published in Conservation Biology! Effectiveness of protected areas in the #Caucasus Mountains in preventing #rangeland #degradation Using greenness indicators in 52 PAs from 1988-2019, we showed that they’re ineffective in preventing degradation Open access: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

New publications from SILVIS Lab, led by Philipp Maleko!

📌New Publication Our recent study, led by @rohansimkin published in Global Change Biology, highlights the impact of rapid urbanization on the emergence of zoonotic diseases worldwide. The risk is particularly high in the Global South. Full paper: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70…

📌New Publication Our recent study, led by Afag Rizayeva published in regional Environmental Change highlights the feasibility and value of early spy satellite data for long-term land cover change analyses Full paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Data: silvis.forest.wisc.edu/data/caucasus/

Differences in flammability and risk between human- and lightning-ignited fires are obvious. Our new paper reveals this issue with strong implications for fire modeling and management.
