Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Successful Implementation of Environmental Policy and Governance: Understanding and Modeling Micro Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successful implementation of environmental policy and governance highly depends on the capacity to know about, build new and utilize existing governance structures. However, the theoretical tools and available methods to assess the complexity of emerging or existing structures are rather limited.

From Contingency Management to Transformative Climate Risk Adaptation? Analysis of Private Sector Agency in Navigating Complex Climate Risk Realities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity and severity of cross‐border climate risks characterised by non‐linear impact chains and deep uncertainty questions the capacity of environmental governance to tackle these problems effectively and in a just manner. To increase the efficiency of climate action, the private sector has been called upon to leverage market ...
