Diagnostic species mirrored the global spectrum of plant form and function, and classes showed a functional pattern coherent with their physiognomy and ecology. Evergreen dominated classes showed a similar convergence toward conservative characteristics and the stress-tolerant strategy, as oppo...

Mathematical models describe the dynamics of a complex system through a set of rules. These rules are assumptions and hypotheses about the properties and relations between the elements of the system. With the proper links, it is possible to describe the current and possible future states of the ...
We include articles that focus on at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals, at the local, regional or global scale, and we are pleased to invite submissions of studies framed in a similar way. With a growing overview of where we stand and which measures make a difference, we can...

Rivers are an important component of the global carbon cycle and contribute to atmospheric carbon exchange disproportionately to their total surface area. Largely, this is because rivers efficiently mobilize, transport and metabolize terrigenous organic
This article hopes to make a contribution to the growing body of work on the paradigmatic description of context of situation. Having considered the limited achievements of earlier work on context, I offer a fairly detailed account of what is entailed in
Industrial ecology 1. Introduction Shelter and mobility represent 25% and 15% of household GHG emissions in consumption, respectively (Ivanova et al., 2016). There are significant scientific and policy efforts to reduce these emissions in the EU, including the energy efficiency of buildings directive...
This analysis also considers how regulatory coverage and enforcement can be supplemented by the operationalisation of a multi-factored, multi-scalar consideration of risk determinants. Together this dynamic asset and liability-based model of port resilience can better reflect the variability of port ...
