Pandemic Effects: COVID‐19 and the Crisis of Development in the Middle East
ABSTRACT This article explores the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on socio‐economic development and political mobilization in the Middle East. It argues that beyond its direct public health implications, the pandemic is serving to intensify the extreme differences in wealth and power that have characterized the region for many years.

Non‐linear loss of suitable wine regions over Europe in response to increasing global warming
By coupling climate projections with phenological models for grapevine, we found that the change in climatic suitability for wine production in Europe is strongly non‐linear, as it significantly depends on the level of future global warming. Below the limit of 2°C of global warming, the suitable area loss over the traditional wine regions is relatively

ABSTRACT This research note focuses on the experience of nonprofit organizations that relied on in‐person essential volunteers during the pandemic to conduct their core, mission‐related programs. We use unique case data from a survey of a single organization's volunteers before and during the pandemic.

Analysis of eruptive and seismic sequences to improve the short-and long-term eruption forecasting
Forecasting the time, location, nature, and scale of volcanic eruptions is one of the most urgent aspects of modern applied volcanology. The reliability of probabilistic forecasting procedures is strongly related to the reliability of the input information provided, implying objective criteria for interpreting the historical and monitoring data.

Prescribed burning effectively maintains threatened species in semi‐natural grasslands on lava flows
Prescribed burning shows promise for managing certain grassland types, but relying solely on it often reduces plant diversity, including threatened species. In Japanese dry grasslands established on volcanic ejecta, we explored conditions under which burning maintains high diversity.
