Assessment Methodology for Physical Vulnerability of Vernacular Architecture in Areas Affected by Depopulation: The Case of Comunidad Valenciana, Spain

Land
The intensity with which the phenomenon of depopulation has affected rural municipalities in Spain between 1950 and 2022 has led to a loss in the intergenerational transmission of traditional knowledge, values and customs.

Primary producers' positions towards bears and bear conservation: Insights for human–bear coexistence

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract We present primary producers' (farmers', livestock breeders', beekeepers') positions towards bears and bear conservation as documented through semi‐structured interviews within the frame of human dimensions actions of LIFE projects implemented between 2015 and 2022 in Greece.

Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Manifestation of the magnetic depopulation of one-dimensional subbands in the optical absorption of acoustic magnetoplasmons in side-gated quantum wires

, 1997
We have investigated experimentally and theoretically the far-infrared (FIR) absorption of gated, deep-mesa-etched GaAs/Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As quantum wires.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Improving the effect and efficiency of FMD control by enlarging protection or surveillance zone

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2015
An epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in a FMD-free country with large exports of livestock and livestock products would result in profound economic damage. This could be reduced by rapid and efficient control of the disease spread.

Pathways for Value Chains to Strengthen Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions: A European Cross‐Case Analysis Based on Stakeholders' Perceptions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mountain areas are hotspots of high natural and cultural value, but they face sustainability challenges. This research offers a quantitative cross‐case analysis of 21 case studies from mountain regions across 14 European countries, examining how local stakeholders perceive the contribution of mountain value chains to sustainable development ...

Density of states and electron concentration of double heterojunctions subjected to an in-plane magnetic field

, 2000
We calculate the electronic states of Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As/GaAs/Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As double heterojunctions subjected to a magnetic field parallel to the quasi two-dimensional electron gas.
