Evidence for health effects of early life exposure to indoor air pollutants: what we know and what can be done

Negative emissions technologies and practices could challenge global resource supply and environmental limits

Abstract Meeting climate goals will most likely require large-scale carbon dioxide removal, yet its sustainability implications remain poorly understood. Here, we conduct a prospective life cycle assessment of multiple negative emissions te...

Assessing the impact of forest structure disturbances on the arboreal movement and energetics of orangutans—An agent-based modeling approach

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on th...
