Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Evaluating the quality of riparian forest vegetation: the Riparian Forest Evaluation (RFV) index

Forest Systems, 2014
Aim of study: This paper presents a novel index, the Riparian Forest Evaluation (RFV) index, for assessing the ecological condition of riparian forests. The status of riparian ecosystems has global importance due to the ecological and social benefits and services they provide.

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Potential of Bee Pollen as a Nutraceutical And/Or Functional Ingredient for Metabolic Syndrome Management: In Vitro Antioxidant, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Digestive Enzyme Inhibitory Activities

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Bee pollen samples from China and Spain exhibited in vitro antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and digestive enzyme inhibitory activities due to their composition, suggesting their potential as a nutraceutical or functional ingredient to help counteract oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
