Yet questions remain about whether such efforts genuinely challenge the structural roots of unsustainability or inadvertently reinforce them in pursuit of proximate impacts. This paper responds to calls for more critical monitoring and evaluation by evaluat… Sustainability Science (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science Integrating evidence of the health benefits of nature-based solutions into urban climate policies: the case of Kawasaki, Japan Over the past decade, researchers have generated increasingly robust evidence of the health and environmental benefits of nature-based solutions (NBS). However, few studies have rigorously examined which factors have facilitated the integration of that evidence into policies in cities. Shedding light on those factors is particularly critical since a tension exists between the growing evidence o… Sustainability Science (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science Unpacking knowledge systems for collective action towards sustainability: a social network perspective Achieving sustainability requires collective action by diverse stakeholders, facilitated by knowledge systems that integrate scientific, policy, and locally tested, place-based practical insights. As collective action and knowledge systems are usually analyzed separately, this paper explicitly examines this relationship, assessing the role of knowledge in shaping collective action within a netw… Sustainability Science (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science Perceiving Change: Local Perspectives on Ecological Transformation and Sustainability Dynamics in the Alpine Lake Idro Ecosystem Freshwater lakes are increasingly affected by interacting ecological, infrastructural and socio-economic pressures, yet research on regulated deep lake systems has mainly focused on biophysical processes, with comparatively limited attention to how local stakeholders perceive ecological change and sustainability transitions. This study addresses this gap by examining how stakeholders interpret … Environmental Management (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science How landscape factors relate to biodiversity-economic performance in an Estonian grassland-rich region Halting biodiversity loss on semi-natural grassland has become a key priority of agri-environmental policies in Estonia. However, to what extent current schemes are sufficient to achieve biodiversity targets and the role of landscape factors is still insufficiently understood in this context. This study explored trade-offs between profitability and biodiversity conservation across heterogeneous… Environmental Management (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science The Ecological Role Of Traditional Home Gardens In Facilitating Bird Movement In Human-Modified Tropical Landscapes Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to biodiversity, particularly in tropical agricultural landscapes, where natural forests persist as small and isolated patches. Identifying how human-managed habitats contribute to functional connectivity is essential to understanding species persistence in these landscapes. Agroforestry systems, particularly traditional home gardens (THG), suppo… Environmental Management (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science Disentangling Environmental Variability and Mining Disturbance: A Five-year Assessment of Mammal Community Responses to Open-pit Expansion in a Semi-arid Landscape Open-pit mining is a major driver of habitat transformation, yet separating mining impacts from natural environmental variability remains challenging in semi-arid ecosystems. We evaluated mammal detection patterns over five years (2020–2024) in relation to mining expansion, rainfall, vegetation productivity, water availability, and habitat type in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa.

Because reproducibility constitutes a core scientific criterion, irreproducible results fail a foundational requirement of the scientific method and should be considered as unsubstantiated claims. An investigation of the drivers of this challenge has to be conduc… The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026 Research & science Guidance on integrating marine environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement into life cycle assessment Purpose Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is considered a promising marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) option and may contribute to climate change mitigation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to assess OAE environmentally but faces limitations in capturing marine impacts. Improving the assessment of OAE in LCA requires a detailed understanding of its marine environment impact pathways to … The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (Springer) · 7 Jul 2026
