Coalition cascades: The politics of tipping points in clean energy transitions
Abstract Policy change often involves multiple policy subsystems, as in the case of clean energy transitions. We argue that trans‐subsystem policy feedback is a central dynamic in policy change across subsystems. Policy in one subsystem creates benefits/costs and/or learning effects that mobilize actors for policy change in another subsystem, resulting

Introducing carsharing schemes in low‐density areas: The case of the outskirts of Le Mans (France)
Abstract Nowadays, the issue of rural development has a central place on the agenda of policymakers, particularly in the field of transportation. In low‐density areas, there is a lack of alternatives to car use, but at the same time internal combustion vehicles are currently contested in Western societies for their impacts on global warming. As part of

Canopy openness modifies tree seedling distributions along a tropical forest elevation gradient
In theory, canopy openings can influence tree species establishment and resulting distributions over environmental gradients, but evidence concerning the magnitude and direction of such effects remain scarce. In this study we examine how canopy openings influence seedling persistence and growth and resulting elevation range limits. We transplanted 1360
