Equine veterinarians play a crucial role in maintaining equine health and ensuring client satisfaction. Understanding their perspectives on key aspects of veterinary care is essential for optimising outcomes for both clients and horses.

Siberian boreal forests have experienced increases in fire extent and intensity in recent years, which may threaten their role as carbon (C) sinks. Larch forests (Larix spp.) cover approximately 2.6 million km2 across Siberia, yet little is known about the magnitude and drivers of carbon combustion in …

Bij het verhogen van de biodiversiteit wordt altijd naar de landbouw gekeken, nooit naar de paardensector. Terwijl daar juist zoveel mogelijk is en dit een win-winsituatie kan opleveren, stelt lector Inga Wolframm.

Caribbean coral reefs are in rapid decline and artificial reefs are increasingly often deployed to restore lost three-dimensional structure. The majority of artificial reefs and other marine infrastructure is built from concrete, with Ordinary Portland Cement (CEM I) as the most important ingredient. …

The equine industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its social license to operate (SLO), with appropriate care for horses at its center. Grooms play a vital role in professional horse care and management, yet their own working conditions often remain poor, resulting in an increasing number leaving …

The sustainable supply of fish in the face of climate change and other drivers of change is a policy priority for Pacific nations. Creel and market surveys are increasingly used to document catches but this information has not been aggregated at a regional scale. In this paper we provide a comprehensive …

With coral reefs in global decline and further threatened by growing anthropogenic impacts, effective strategies for restoring these critical ecosystems are increasingly sought after. In Caribbean reefs, where disease outbreaks and fishing pressure have reduced herbivore abundances and facilitated widespread …

Climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected global challenges that require urgent and transformative changes in land use and management. Equine yards have a unique potential to contribute positively to biodiversity while supporting equine welfare and providing economic and social value. This …

Tropical forests and woodlands are key components of the global carbon and water cycles. Yet, how climate change affects these biogeochemical cycles is poorly understood because of scarce long-term observations of tropical tree growth. The recent rise in tropical tree-ring studies may help to fill this …

Thrips are one of the most challenging pests in agricultural crops, including Chrysanthemum. In this study we tested via two plant assays whether solutionscontaining sticky rice germ oil (RGO) droplets could effectively trap thrips andlower thrips damage on Chrysanthemum.
