Social cohesion in restoration landscapes: The case of Rwanda
Abstract Ecosystem restoration is recognized as a strategy for addressing landscape degradation. In contexts where ecological degradation overlaps with the deterioration of social cohesion, restoration must also contribute to rebuilding social ties alongside restoring ecosystems.

Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations
This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and
