Standards as Authority: Self‐Legitimation in the European Union's Global Forest Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the EU's introduction of binding sustainability standards through the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) constitutes an authoritative claim and how this claim is legitimized. Using qualitative content analysis, the paper examines three interconnected self‐legitimation strategies: (1) framing standards as optimal ...

Hybridity of Accountability Logics in Voluntary Sustainability Governance: The Case of Commitment 2050

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance of sustainable development increasingly relies on voluntary standards and commitments, the credibility and effectiveness of which hinge on accountability—ensuring actors align with shared goals and follow through on them. However, voluntary initiatives operate outside traditional control structures and blend elements of state ...

The Vegetation Integrity and Cost‐Effectiveness of Different Management Options for Grassy Woodlands in Urban Green Space

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban green space is important for conserving biodiversity in urban landscapes, however, the dominant management regime in urban green space (regular mowing) has relatively low biodiversity value. We explored if direct‐seeding (scrape and sow), planting (and mulching) and passive restoration are viable alternatives to regular mowing for ...

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Cooperative and Non‐Cooperative Solutions in a Dynamic Model of Forest Management

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a deterministic finite‐horizon bioeconomic control model linking forest biomass, biodiversity, cumulative harvesting pressure, and disturbance‐motivated expected biodiversity losses. Biodiversity is modeled as a productive state variable that feeds back into biomass growth, while cumulative harvesting pressure records the ...
