Modeling Sub‐Grid Peatland Vegetation Dynamics in the ORCHIDEE‐PEAT Land Surface Model
Abstract Peatlands store about one‐third of total global soil carbon. Vegetation composition strongly regulates peatland carbon dynamics. Global warming and climate‐driven ecohydrological changes are expected to alter peatland vegetation composition, necessitating accurate simulation of vegetation dynamics to predict future fate of peatland carbon.

Abstract Recent scholarship has examined the informal activities of elites. While existing theories suggest that informality is a realm where the state guarantees unhindered access to land and property rights and, subsequently, citizenship entitlements for elites, they have yet to explain how affluent residents of informal colonies obtain citizenship ...

Weed Control Options for Residential Lawns in Utah
An important aspect of landscape maintenance includes suppressing lawn weeds, including broadleaf and grassy forms, which may disrupt the uniformity of turf. Weed prevention through proper turf establishment and maintenance is the best practical approach for long-term weed control, and is less expensive than controlling weeds later.

ABSTRACT Extreme weather events often require rapid shifts in public behaviour, such as conserving water during utility shortages. This study examined how three evidence‐based social influence strategies – cultural targeting, autonomy support, and descriptive social norms – shape public cooperation with water conservation advisories during such events.

Curbing multinational digital tax avoidance with the general anti‐avoidance rule
Abstract Large multinational companies (MNCs) are increasingly leveraging the enormous value embedded in the global digital economy. This has resulted in numerous innovations; however, it has likewise resulted in the loss of billions of dollars in tax revenue to governments due to outdated laws that generally assume a brick‐and‐mortar economy and ...

Urban greenery variation between residential typologies: Implications for recreation
The importance of greenery for human well-being and recreation in urban areas is well-known. While many studies have examined the recreational importance of large green spaces, parks, and forests, the greenery encountered in our everyday surroundings ...

ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Urban agriculture requires local water to replace ‘hydrologic externalities’ associated with food produced outside of the local area, with an accompanying shift of the water footprint (WF) for agricultural production from rural to urban areas.
