Identifying agents of change for sustainable land governance
Abstract Sustainable land governance in a telecoupled world is currently a challenge. Distant actors, institutions, and interactions shape local land uses and are assumed to... -
Tissue type and location within forest together regulate decay trajectories o...
Abstract Deadwood decomposition plays a crucial role in global carbon and nutrient cycles. Factors controlling deadwood decomposition at local scales could also have strong... -
The utilization of immersive virtual environments for the investigation of en...
The article discusses the feasibility and benefits of using immersive virtual environments (IVEs) to gauge the environmental preferences of individuals. The discussion is based... -
Mountain ecosystem services affected by land use changes and hydrological con...
Abstract The use of check-dams in mountain environments to regulate fluxes of water and sediments is widely applied across Mediterranean mountains. Besides the use of “grey... -
Trade-offs of European agricultural abandonment
Agricultural land abandonment is a policy challenge, especially for areas with unfavorable conditions for agriculture and remote and mountainous areas. Agricultural abandonment... -
Ecological legacies of fire detected using plot-level measurements and LiDAR ...
Abstract Vegetation succession following fire disturbances has long been of interest in ecology, but the evolution of landscape pattern and structure following low-severity... -
gravel excavation in Dutch spatial and resources policies through the lens of...
Excavations can cause tension between local spatial interests at excavation sites and the demand for national resources. Policymakers have to weigh up the choices in... -
