Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, posing threats for the whole planet. This paper provides the first review of ontologies for sustainability efforts, outlining their roles in assessing and advancing such efforts. Section 2 outlines three major challenges associated with sustainability: (1)

Dehydration-induced supralithostatic fluid overpressure in metapelites from Northern Korea

Communications Earth & Environment
Orogenic reconstructions typically assume lithostatic pressure, which can be converted into burial depth. Deviations from lithostatic conditions, such as fluid overpressure, are recognized but poorly understood in natural rocks.

Mapping the Green Taxonomy Research Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainability, Finance, and Policy Convergence

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green taxonomy is regarded as a system to classify economic sectors and activities that constitute sustainable activities. Although the European Union has worked to reinforce its framework for steering ecological investment, prior research has not adequately explained how green taxonomy actually shapes firms' investment choices, the movement ...

Heavy iron isotopes in arc rocks reveal anoxic sediment recycling in subduction zones

Communications Earth & Environment
The formation mechanism of arc mafic rocks with heavy iron isotope signature remains enigmatic. Here we report Fe-Mo-Sr-Nd-Hf isotope data of arc rocks from Northeast China. The studied arc rocks have δ56Fe values (0.08‰ to 0.23‰) comparable to or higher

PARTY‐STATE URBANISM: Coevolution of Local State Capacity and Strategic Alliances in Shenzhen

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What is distinct about Chinese urban governance? Classic theories predict that when the central state retreats from resource allocation, capacity‐strained local governments must form alliances with non‐state actors, thereby diluting state power. In China, however, state power remains dominant despite decentralization.

Zinc isotopes record lunar magmatic outgassing and surface processes in different Chang’e-5 samples

Communications Earth & Environment
The Moon is depleted in moderately volatile elements compared with Earth, likely due to high-temperature processes during its formation. How this depletion evolved and the role of later surface processes remain unclear. Here we report high-precision zinc

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.
