ABSTRACT This study offers causal evidence on how distinct forms of civic engagement affect government spending across 28 democracies between 2000 and 2024. Its main innovation lies in disentangling the fiscal effects of two channels of engagement—civil society participation and electoral turnout—through an original identification strategy that ...

Forecasting Climate Change Using a Multivariate Cointegrated System
ABSTRACT A cointegrated vector equilibrium correction model of key climate variables including sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, Arctic sea‐ice extent and sea‐level change is built, driven by radiative forcing in which a stochastic trend arises due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.

No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest
A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

Stratwarm Effects in the Ionospheric D Region Wind Field [PDF]
An analysis is made of the wind field structure in the strato-thermosphere over Eastern Siberia during the winter stratwarms of 1975-1977. It is found that coupling between dynamical processes in the stratosphere and lower thermosphere is effected ...

The Electronically Confined Space Analogy Elucidates How Second-Row Triatomic 18-Valence-Electron Molecules Shape Life and Light. [PDF]
The Electronically Confined Space Analogy explains ozone's unique UV absorption by linking bent 18‐valence‐electron structures to enhanced stability and photochemical activity, offering a molecular‐level rationale for its dominance as Earth's stratospheric UV filter.

Beyond the Biosphere: Decoding Bacterial Strategies at the Edge of Space
Microorganisms exhibit remarkable phenotypic plasticity in extreme environments, including the stratosphere. This domain poses significant challenges such as almost zero gravity and a pronounced deviation from the typical physical forces experienced by ...

Fluorination of Silver Phosphate in Nickel Reaction Vessels for Triple Oxygen Isotope Analysis
ABSTRACT Rationale Increasingly, more laboratories are measuring the triple oxygen isotope values of phosphate. Standardization is key to having good interlaboratory results. Here, we present the triple oxygen isotope values of a suite of standards using fluorination and compare them with previously reported triple oxygen isotope values. Methods Silver

Defining Scales of Field Studies and Experiments to Assess Marine Cloud Brightening
Abstract Solar radiation modification (SRM) is being discussed as a potential option for addressing climate risks while atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are reduced to lower levels. However, understanding of the potential efficacy, impacts, benefits and harms of different SRM approaches remains limited.
