Soils provide the foundation for human well-being but are increasingly degrading from land use change or types of intensive land use like agriculture. In Europe, soil natural capital is degrading over time and space because of compaction, erosion, and the loss of organic matter. This trend diminishes the soil’s ability to sustain a flow of ecosystem services, which are valuable to human well-being

Under 1980-talet var Sri Lanka ett av de länder som flest barn adopterades internationellt ifrån, med 6815 registrerade adoptioner. Antalet adoptioner har sen dess fallit kraftigt. Under 2010-talet registrerades bara 259 stycken – detta trots den stora mängd barn som fortsatt växer upp på institutioner i landet.

The case company under study has conducted a continuous process of business model innovation for sustainability since 2007, but is suffering from barriers present in the process.

While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric communities must have responded in more diverse ways. This paper investigates the site-based socio-ecological a

Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var
