Soil and vegetation responses to biochar application in terms of its feedback on carbon sequestration under different environmental conditions—LiDels model overview
Biochar application to soil shows promise for enhancing soil properties, increasing crop yields, improving water retention, and promoting carbon sequestration. While the direct effects of biochar on soil properties have been studied to some extent, the overall impact on ecosystem carbon balance remains uncertain, as field and lab studies typically do not account for interactions with vegetation. The LiDELS (LiBry-DETECT Layer Scheme) model offers…
An assessment of carbon taxation policies
Paying attention to tension
Collaborations between public institutions and civil society organisations are popular. One such context for public-civil collaboration is rehabilitation, where health care institutions and sports clubs collaborate in supporting physical activity for people with non-communicable diseases. More specifically, our study involves health care workers, sports club volunteers, and people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), whose perspectives on physic…
Doing physical activity or not
According to biomedical notions, physical activity (PA) is an integral part of treatment for several non-communicable diseases, Type 2 diabetes (T2D) among them. Adapting one’s life in accordance with such notions, however, involves considerations that reach beyond what can be confined to treatment decisions. Thus, we aim to explore the various reasons for doing PA or not among healthcare workers and people with T2D taking part in programs that p…
Macroeconomic Aspects of Unemployment Benefits
This article provides an assessment of the Danish public policy of lowering unemployment benefits, adopted by the Danish government in the tax reform of 2012. To do so, we employ a stock-flow consistent model in which we incorporate the central features of the Danish labour market and the unemployment insurance system. We estimate the model using quarterly data over the period 2005Q4–2020Q1. To evaluate the effects of an unemployment insurance po…
Tourists’ valuation of nature in protected areas
In the face of biodiversity loss, it is crucial to broaden the arguments for conservation of protected areas by acknowledging diverse values of nature. We systematically reviewed empirical studies to investigate tourists’ values of nature in protected areas over time and across regions. To do so, we explored (1) the main ecological and social characteristics of the case studies; (2) methodological approaches; and (3) value types. Based on the rev…
Is It Possible to Distinguish Global and Regional Climate Change from Urban Land Cover Induced Signals? A Mid-Latitude City Example
The local climate in cities differs from the one in rural areas, most prominently characterized by increased surface and air temperatures, known as the “(surface) urban heat island”. As climate has changed and continues to change in all areas of the world, the question arises whether the effects that are noticeable in urban areas are “homemade”, or whether some of them originate from global and regional scale climate changes. Identifying the loca…
