Epirus
This entry describes the region of Epirus (present‐day northwest Greece and southern Albania), which was part of the Hellenistic world and is known as the home of King Pyrrhos. The region was ravaged by the Romans under Aemilius Paullus in 167 bce , then became part of the Roman province of Macedonia.
We cannot shrug off the shoulder seasons
As environmental change in the Arctic accelerates, there is a growing need to accurately quantify the response of Arctic ecosystems throughout the year. To assess the temporal coverage of observations of carbon and nutrient fluxes, we used literature synthesis, quantitative meta-analysis, and exploration of a novel biogeochemical dataset from one of the best-documented Arctic ecosystems: the headwaters of the Kuparuk River in Northern Alaska. The…
Evaluating water quality regulation as a driver of farmer behavior

Longer thaw seasons increase nitrogen availability for leaching during fall in tundra soils
Climate change has resulted in warmer soil temperatures, earlier spring thaw and later fall freeze-up, resulting in warmer soil temperatures and thawing of permafrost in tundra regions. While these changes in temperature metrics tend to lengthen the growing season for plants, light levels, especially in the fall, will continue to limit plant growth and nutrient uptake. We conducted a laboratory experiment using intact soil cores with and without …
Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire
As the permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon pool will be increasingly vulnerable to decomposition, combustion, and hydrologic export. Models predict that some portion of this release will be offset by increased production of Arctic and boreal biomass; however, the lack of robust estimates of net carbon balance increases the risk of further overshooting international emissions targets. Precise empirical or model-based assessments of t…
An Institutional Analysis of the Kaipara Harbour Governance Network in New Zealand
Common pool resources are increasingly examined through social–ecological systems (SES) lenses to understand multifaceted natural resource issues through interdisciplinary approaches. Using frameworks grounded in environmental governance and SES, we examine the multijurisdictional institutional network of Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand. We find that while the conventional form of regulatory management has persisted until recently, the network has…
Epirus
The Epirus of antiquity was a region that lay at the heart of the Mediterranean, between the Greek and Roman worlds. It covered an area now divided between the modern states of Greece and Albania, stretching from the Akrokeraunian mountains in the north to the Ambrakian Gulf in the south, and bounded to the west by the Ionian Sea and to the east by the Pindos and Grammos mountain ranges. The region is dominated by mountain ranges that traverse th…
Effects of Changes in Arctic Lake and River Ice
Climate Change in the Arctic - Permafrost, Thermokarst, and Why They Matter to the Non-Arctic World
Thermokarst terrain develops when some forms of permafrost - or so-called frozen ground - thaw and the soil subsides under its own mass. The processes that create thermokarst terrain alter the Arctic landscape substantially. The formation of thermokarst terrain is a natural phenomenon that increases or decreases as the climate warms or cools. There is now strong evidence that permafrost has been warming for several decades and that the rate of th…
