With the Lisbon Treaty, the European Parliament (EP) obtained co-decision rights in economic governance for the first time. Soon afterwards, the outbreak of the eurozone crisis required a reform of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). When negotiating EMU reform, the EP sought to push its ...
The authors use multidecadal, high-resolution data to investigate the spatial variability of vegetation greening in European mountains. They show that changes in snow cover duration play a more significant role than rising air temperatures alone in driving greening patterns. ...
The Russian invasion of Ukraine hampers the ability to adequately describe conditions across the Arctic, thus biasing the view on Arctic change. Here we benchmark the pan-Arctic representativeness of the largest high-latitude research station network, IN
it is the driving force behind her designs. Her work demonstrates a profound curiosity about the people who will inhabit her buildings and the unique stories embedded within each site. Her buildings aren't just structures; they're thoughtful responses to their surroundings, without aiming to disapp...
from standards, norms, and expectations of what society deems fair and just. Such norms can also be a driving force behind regulatory reforms that guide ethical responsibility. We use the institutional theory as an analytical framework to illustrate how local climate change perceptions may potentially...

Therefore, the temperature-index or degree-day based hydrological models may not accurately simulate the prevailing energy balance, which is the main driving force for streamflow generation from the snow and glacier systems. Whereas, assessment of the future hydrological regime is primarily constrained ...
Rapid population growth in West Africa has exerted increasing pressures on land resources, leading to observable changes in the land cover and land use. However, spatially explicit and thematically detailed quantitative analyses of land cover change over
Generally, our results suggest that the recent climate warming has caused hydrological shifts in most high-latitude peatlands, highlighting its pronounced effect on shaping peatland moisture balance, and further on driving peatland C balance. It has been reported that a 1-cm water-table drawdown wou...
(tree mortality, biodiversity change) would provide useful directions. Research integration will allow us to better understand the factors driving changes in species diversity, the effects of extreme events on tree productivity, the impacts of disturbances on forest function, and the interactions between...
