The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

FINANCIALIZED GREEN STATE ENTREPRENEURIALISM AND THE URBANIZATION OF MOUNTAINS: Chongli’s Consumption‐based Territorial Business Model for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article develops the concept of a territorial business model (TBM) to renew the analysis of the production of the urban built environment beyond established urban cores. Based on the case of Chongli, a site for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, this article provides a double decentering of the ways in which a mountain region was urbanized
