Investigating conservation performance payments alongside human–wildlife conflicts: The Swedish lynx and wolverine protection policies

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

Front tracking for a 2X2 system of conservation laws

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012
This article studies a front-tracking algorithm for $2imes2$ systems of conservation laws. After revisiting the classical results of DiPerna [12] and Bressan [8], we address the case of a $2imes2$ system arising in the study of granular flows [2 ...

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Multidimensional upwind methods for hyperbolic conservation laws [PDF]

Journal of Computational Physics, 1990
A class of conservative difference algorithms for hyperbolic conservation laws in several space variables which do not make use of operator splitting are presented. These methods are upwind and multidimensional, in that the numerical fluxes are obtained by solving the characteristic form of the full multidimensional equations at the zone edge and that ...

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

A hyperbolic conservation law and particle systems [PDF]

Journal of Difference Equations and Applications, 2011
In these notes we consider two particle systems: the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process and the totally asymmetric zero-range process. We introduce the notion of hydrodynamic limit and describe the partial differential equation that governs the evolution of the conserved quantity – the density of particles .

Towards Sustainable Consumption: The Influence of Contextual Factors on Consumers' Purchase Intentions for Biodegradable Plastic Products

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable plastic products offer a promising approach to mitigating the environmental impacts of conventional plastics. This study integrates trust, attitude, and stimulus‐organism‐response theory to elucidate the influence of contextual factors (infrastructure, economic incentives, biodegradable labels, and publicity and education) on ...

Concentration of Political Power and Adaptation to Climate Change in Developing Countries: Evidence Using the Quantile Regression Method

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of constitutional power concentration on adaptation to climate change in 113 countries observed between 1995 and 2023 using the quantile regression method. The results reveal that the concentration of constitutional power hinders countries' adaptation to climate change through inequalities ...

From Global Mapping to Local Action: Green Finance, Regulatory Frameworks, and Policy Transformation for Sustainable Energy Transition in Qatar and Türkiye

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2024, global annual issuance exceeded USD 1.1 trillion mostly through green bonds, credits, and sustainability‐linked instruments, yet significant regional disparities remain. This article examines how Qatar and Türkiye, two hydrocarbon‐dependent but rapidly transitioning economies, are integrating green finance into their sustainability ...
