Coherence Between Climate and Land Use Policies of the European Union, Brazil, and Indonesia: A Primer to Analyze Potential GHG Leakage

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incoherence between national land use policies may weaken climate mitigation efforts by creating conditions under which agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions are displaced across borders (leakage). Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).

Orchestration of Climate Action in Municipalities: A Collective Capacity Approach

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Municipalities are increasingly positioned as key actors in enabling local climate action, yet their ability to mobilise societal actors remains insufficiently understood. This study examines how municipal officials in six Finnish municipalities from different local contexts understand and operationalise collective capacity for climate action,

Nested Institutions and Overlapping Mandates: A Policy Analysis of Mangrove Governance in Ghana, Tanzania Mainland, and Zanzibar

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mangroves are critical resources in sustaining coastal communities by providing essential ecosystem goods and services. Occurring within the interface of land and sea, they serve as critical ecological zones shaped by dynamic interactions between terrestrial and marine systems.

Radical Listening as a Governance Innovation: Integrating Planetary Health and Community‐Led Forest Conservation in Indonesia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While REDD+ prioritizes carbon sequestration, its narrow focus often overlooks forest‐health linkages critical to community well‐being. This paper examines the holistic model of Health in Harmony (HIH) and Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI), which integrates forest conservation with healthcare through radical listening—a decolonial community engagement

Unraveling the Interplay Between Collaborative Governance and Experimentation for Transformative Potential in Circular Water Systems: A Dutch Case Study

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater availability is a critical climate change challenge in coastal delta regions. This challenge requires a transformative change toward circular water management. While experimentation and collaborative governance are recognized as enablers of transformative change, their interaction remains complex and insufficiently understood ...

Changes in soil oxidase activity induced by microbial life history strategies mediate the soil heterotrophic respiration response to drought and nitrogen enrichment

Frontiers in Microbiology
Drought and nitrogen deposition are two major climate challenges, which can change the soil microbial community composition and ecological strategy and affect soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh).

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...

The Phytochrome-Interacting Factor OsPIL11 Coordinates Grain Weight and Grain Number Via Directly Regulating the Expression of OsMIR530 and OsCKX2 in Rice

Rice
Grain weight and panicle architecture are pivotal determinants of rice yield, yet the regulatory mechanisms coordinating these traits remain elusive. Here, we functionally characterized a phytochrome-interacting factor, OsPIL11, serving as a negative ...
