Forest floor temperature and greenness link significantly to canopy attributes in South Africa’s fragmented coastal forests
Editor rating: 7 / 10
Leonardo Montagnani –– I believe that besides the difficulties encountered in the specific location, the paper is well done and methodologically relevant. I would recommend its approach to a wide range of scientific sectors related to the physical interaction between plants, animals and possibly humans.

What killed Frame Lake? A precautionary tale for urban planners
Editor rating: 8 / 10
Bruno Marino –– The encroachment of human activity on natural systems is a complex interplay of events recorded through time and deposition of proxy indicators. "Who Killed Frame Lake.." is an iconic journey through time for the lake and its signatory participants. The future and remediation of Frame Lake is now in the hands of planners who may benefit from this example of human/nature interaction.
