The resilience of urban trees [PDF]

Trees incorporated into urban environments have both ecological and social values which help sustain public health and well being. What is not known is how resilient urban trees are to the challenges, including climate change, of the 21st century. If the species composition of trees in urban environments is likely to change over time then this raises ...

When Aviation CSR Efforts Are Not Enough: How Do We Inspire Airline Passengers to Offset Their Travel Footprints?

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon offsetting programs (VCOPs) are available for airline passengers who want to take action and offset their scope 3 emissions. Yet, their uptake is very limited. In this study, we propose an integrated theoretical model involving the norm activation theory and protection motivation theory to understand airline passengers ...

Classroom boundaries and teacher agency: Challenges of implementing Ireland's new primary curriculum

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reports on a doctoral study examining teacher agency in one Irish primary school at a timely moment ahead of the implementation of the new Primary Curriculum Framework in September 2025. The framework embeds teacher agency as a central professional principle, yet findings from this study reveal a more cautious and bounded reality.

The dual influence of top‐down and bottom‐up processes on a mesopredator and the consequences for prey

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecosystem dynamics are shaped by interacting top‐down and bottom‐up processes, yet their relative importance may vary through time following disturbances such as disease outbreaks and changes in apex predator communities. Using a 52‐year time series in south‐central Sweden, we examined how disease, apex predators, and prey availability jointly impact a

Street trees provide an opportunity to mitigate urban heat and reduce risk of high heat exposure

Scientific Reports
Climate change is exacerbating the need for urban greening and the associated environmental and human well-being benefits. Trees can help mitigate urban heat, but more detailed understanding of cooling effects of green infrastructure are needed to guide ...
