Terraced landscapes in Slovakia

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2017
This study investigates the distribution of terraced landscapes in Slovakia and analyzes their structural characteristics and land use. We found that traditional farming and terrace building as a part of agricultural intensification resulted in two types

Environmental Management Accounting in Private Hospitals: Navigating Competing Strategic Priorities for Sustainable Decision‐Making

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental management accounting (EMA) is increasingly recognised as essential for carbon governance, accountability and net zero transitions, yet research has overlooked how sustainability is negotiated within mission‐driven but commercially exposed service organisations such as private hospitals in developing economies, a sector often ...

Cinque Terre: terraced landscape preservation and tourism sustainability

, 2018
Cinque Terre terraced landscape represents an extraordinary example of the peculiar relation between humankind and nature. For centuries its inhabitants shaped the territory, building a farmed terraced system that has characterized the image and identity

The influence of the geological–geomorphological setting on human settlements and historical urban development: the case study of Isernia (southern Italy)

Journal of Maps, 2021
The map is aimed at illustrating the relationships between landscape evolution and human occupation in the Isernia basin since the Middle Pleistocene. We carried out a detail scale geological–geomorphological investigation integrated with archaeological ...

A Review of Grain Boundaries: Formation Mechanism, Synthesis Strategy, and Application in Electrocatalysis

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
An overview of grain boundary engineering in the field of electrocatalysis. ABSTRACT Key electrocatalytic reactions such as HER, OER, ORR, CO2RR, and NRR offer promising routes for storing renewable energy as chemical fuels. However, their widespread application is constrained due to the lack of highly active and stable catalysts. Grain boundaries (GBs)

Recent Advances of Perovskite Oxides for Air Pollution Control Chemistry: The Closed Loop From Design to Application

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review summarizes a descriptor‐guided framework for linking theoretical calculations, in situ/operando characterization, synthesis regulation, and application screening in functional materials. Emphasis is placed on dynamic structure–property relationships that enable low‐cost material design with enhanced activity, stability, and environmental ...

Machine Learning Unveils Isolated‐Surrounded Pt Motifs in High‐Entropy Alloys for Superior Low‐Temperature Ammonia Oxidation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A physics‐informed machine learning approach successfully decodes the complex catalytic activity of high‐entropy alloys for ammonia oxidation. By revealing a synergistic mechanism involving lattice and electronic couplings, the study identifies a superior “isolated‐surrounded” platinum motif.

Relevance of carbon sink to ecological sensitivity in terraced agroforestry ecosystems under tourism interference

Ecological Indicators
Anthropogenic disturbances caused by tourism threaten the health of terraced agroforestry ecosystems. The carbon sink capacity of such systems is closely linked to ecological stability, driven by the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors.

Land-use changes in Slovenian terraced landscapes

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2019
This article presents the findings of a study on long-term land-use changes in eight areas of various Slovenian landscapes. The emphasis is on comparing changes on terraced and non-terraced land from the early nineteenth century to the present and on a ...
