Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Ecology in Hartmut Rosa's Theory of Resonance: A Four‐Level Reconstruction

Dialog, EarlyView.

In Rosa, resonance experiences refer to (always) participatory and (normally) enlivening world relations. I argue that Rosa's resonance theory is multi‐pronged and covers at least three interconnected levels.
