Drivers of Urban Expansion in Europe: A Literature Review of the Roles of Electoral Cycles and Climate Change

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract The urban population is growing worldwide; therefore, understanding the drivers of urban expansion is essential. To this end, this study conducts a systematic literature review followed by a thematic analysis, focusing on two main underlying drivers of urban expansion: climate change and electoral cycle.

Interpopulation Variation in Seed Germination in Three Plantago Species: Effects of Temperature, Osmotic Stress, and Salinity

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Plantago species are widespread in the Mediterranean and have potential applications in restoration of degraded or saline soils. This study examined germination responses of Plantago albicans, P. coronopus, and P. maritima from multiple Iberian populations under different temperature, osmotic stress, and salinity.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9937-9952, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...
