Allocation of Decision-Making Power under the Habitats Directive [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Law, 2016
The provisions in the Habitats Directive relating to protection of sites establish a triumvirate of decision-makers: administrative authority, scientific advisor and judiciary. This article examines the relationship between these decision-makers as developed in recent case law, both at a European Union (EU) and national level.

A Statistical Mechanics Model to Decode Tissue Crosstalk During Graft Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a statistical mechanics framework to decode the genomic crosstalk governing plant grafting. By integrating evolutionary game theory with transcriptomics, we reconstruct idopNetworks (informative, dynamic, omnidirectional, and personalized networks) that map scion–rootstock interactions.

Effect Differences of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids From Plant Oil and Fish Oil on Human Health

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Omega‐3 fatty acids in plant oil is no less than fish oil on human health. ALA in plant oil takes directly healthy effects without conversion to DHA and EPA. Plant oil can be substitutes for fish oil to support partial ω‐3 fatty acids. For people who cannot afford fish oil, plant oil is also good for public health.

Climate and air pollution impacts on habitat suitability of Austrian forest ecosystems.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Climate change and excess deposition of airborne nitrogen (N) are among the main stressors to floristic biodiversity. One particular concern is the deterioration of valuable habitats such as those protected under the European Habitat Directive. In future,

Geobotanical assessment of forest habitat types of the Habitats Directive in northwestern Turkey [PDF]

, 2009
This contribution exemplifies the identification process of forest and scrub habitat types in northwestern Turkey, thereby following, and geographically extending, the vision of the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS) to achieve conservation and sustainable use of biological and landscape diversity for the whole of Europe.

Power, discourse and participation in nature conflicts: the case of turf cutters in the governance of Ireland's raised bog designations [PDF]

, 2014
This paper explores how participatory processes and the politics of contestation and resistance converge to influence changes in discourses and institutional structures underpinning the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive in Ireland.
