Lake Titicaca in South America is highly sensitive to climatic variability, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change and raising concerns about long-term drying. Fluctuations in lake-water-levels (LWLs) can trigger cascading impacts across the downstream Titicaca-Desaguadero-Poopó-Salares (TDPS). This study evaluates the dependence of Lake Titicaca’s water level on air temperature and p

Liquidity constraints are often seen as a barrier to entrepreneurship, with many relying on personal or informal capital to start a business. This paper examines whether increased access to equity ─ via rising value of owner-occupied housing ─ affects the likelihood of business entry. Using detailed Swedish tax return data and exploiting the 2008 property tax reform as a natural experiment, we ana

Ai Xiaoming: A Chinese Woman Intellectual examines the construction and transformation of intellectual identity in modern China through the life and work of Ai Xiaoming, foregrounding how women intellectuals negotiate public engagement under pervasive political, institutional, technological, and gendered constraints.Tracing shifts and overlaps among public intellectuals, academics, citizen intelli

In our study, we identified a general biogeographical pattern within bioregions. This pattern, called ‘core-to-transition’, largely reflects a covarying gradient in four biodiversity aspects from a single biogeographical core, not the geometrical centre, towards its permeable boundaries. Species richness and endemicity decline from the core, whereas biota overlap and species occupancy increase. Ad

Public authorities increasingly rely on consultants to navigate sustainability transitions, yet research typically treats consultants' influence as episodic and external to governance itself. This study asks how consultants instead become durable, structural participants in public-sector governance, shaping how energy-transition policies are designed, coordinated, and legitimized. Using Sweden's e

Fire is a global phenomenon and a key Earth system process. Extreme fire events have increased in recent years, and fire frequency and intensity are projected to rise across most regions and biomes, posing substantial challenges for ecosystems, the carbon cycle, and society. The Fire Model Intercomparison Project (FireMIP), launched in 2014, has advanced global fire modeling in Dynamic Global Vege

The competition, especially for light, is a fundamental determinant of the structure and composition of a forest. Large-scale forest models must balance real-world complexity with computational demand and poorly constrained parameters. The LPJ-GUESS dynamic global vegetation model has a strong track record of simulating forest composition and tree demography with a simple representation of forest

Climate change accelerates the global hydrological cycle, which has escalating impacts on human health and the socioeconomic development. However, many existing Earth system models neglect the more complex processes of topography-driven vegetation–surface–groundwater interactions, thereby failing to accurately capture climate-hydrological responses. To address this gap, we integrate the three-dime
