Summary: Income shock manipulations can influence decision-making, particularly in delay discounting and alcohol demand. Negative income shock leads to an increase in preference for smaller immediate rewards and a decrease in the price at which alcohol consumption is suppressed. This study is the first to examine income shock effects on alcohol demand.

Summary: The study revealed that the abundance of farmland bird species is closely related to land cover types and landscape patterns, with factors such as proportion of arable land, shape complexity, and size of grassland patches playing a significant role. By establishing a statistical model, the density of skylarks could be estimated and their population within a specific protected area could be predicted.

Summary: This study utilizes crowd-sourced data and remote sensing data to investigate the morphological evolution and hazard assessment of the Oldoinyo Lengai volcano in Tanzania. The research reveals that the location of lava emission within the crater has shifted multiple times, and the volcano cone has experienced subsidence over time. It predicts that the crater could be filled with lava within the next decade.

Summary: The spatial and temporal aspects of the habitat suitability of the European souslik in Sredna Gora Mountain, Bulgaria were studied using Landsat satellite imagery data from 1985 to 2018. The results showed an increase in habitat suitability, attributed to raised temperatures, drought, and human-caused modifications in pasture livestock breeding. Statistical modeling was used to assess the long-term impact of land cover change due to climate change and human activity on the habitat suitability of the European souslik. This approach can be valuable for conservation planning.

Summary: This study explored the use of genetic graphs in landscape genetic analyses, comparing different pruning methods and genetic distances to weight graph links. Results showed that methods based on geographical distance thresholds were more effective in identifying dispersal networks, and counter-intuitively, sub-selection of pairwise distances through graph pruning could lead to improved inferences of landscape effects on dispersal. Additionally, genetic distances such as D-PS or Euclidean genetic distances were found to respond faster to landscape changes, making them preferable for landscape effect inference.

Summary: This study examined the influence of habitat quantity and spatial configuration on genetic structure, showing that measuring the amount of reachable habitat (ARH) can effectively describe habitat patterns and predict genetic structure. ARH metrics were found to be relevant predictors of genetic structure components, demonstrating significant impact on allelic richness and genetic differentiation.

Summary: Least-cost path modeling is crucial for biodiversity conservation and landscape planning, but it is also influenced by cost scenarios. The study found that the spatial overlap of LCPs is more sensitive to cost scenarios, and highly correlated CD matrices can be derived from different cost scenarios. Therefore, when using LCP modeling, factors such as the range of cost values, landscape composition, and configuration variables should be considered.

Summary: In this study, the reliability of cost value inference in connectivity models was assessed under different migration rates, population spatial patterns, and degrees of population size heterogeneity. The study also examined whether considering intra-population variables improved the inference when drift was spatially heterogeneous. The results showed that considering intra-population variables can improve the reliability of cost value inference and better identify the true cost scenarios in certain situations.

Summary: Climate change has caused longer fire seasons and more intense wildfires worldwide, leading to significant economic and environmental impacts. A study conducted in Southwest China evaluated the effectiveness of different fuel treatment designs in mitigating wildfire risk under varying fire severity conditions. The results showed that fuel treatments were effective in reducing risk under low and normal fire severity scenarios, but their effectiveness was limited under high fire severity conditions.

Summary: In cities, green areas play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, and the heterogeneity of land cover is an important factor. The relationship between area and heterogeneity affects the richness of bird species in urban green areas, with urban avoider species benefiting from large and heterogeneous patches.

Summary: Appleton's prospect-refuge theory suggests that the presence of dense vegetation, topography, and people in a park can influence the safety and privacy felt by visitors in different ways. This study aimed to understand the relationship between observation point height, vegetation location, presence of other people, and perceived privacy and safety. The results showed that flat or lower ground without the presence of others was considered the safest, while landscapes higher up with dense vegetation and no other people were rated highest in terms of privacy. The findings have practical implications in terms of providing privacy without compromising safety.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of urban greenspace spatial morphology on non-communicable diseases and found that neighborhoods with more connected, aggregated, coherent, and complex-shaped greenspace had a lower prevalence of these diseases. Such associations were mediated by air pollution and physical inactivity. The results suggest that the spatial morphology of designed urban greenspace plays a significant role in neighborhood health.

Summary: Developing a green infrastructure is an important environmental policy goal in many countries around the world. Different countries have different requirements on the spatial allocation of conservation sites for green infrastructure. Price-type and procedural instruments are commonly used, but the utilization of incentive mechanisms that internalize the benefit of clustering is relatively low. There is a need for more studies on incentive mechanisms and green infrastructure policies in the global South.

Summary: Observational and experimental studies have shown that exposure to greenness is beneficial for long-term health and well-being. However, more evidence is needed regarding the short-term health impacts of nearby nature in urban areas. This study used immersive virtual reality technology to investigate how transitions between built and natural environments affect urban residents. Results showed that transitioning from built to natural environments led to reductions in negative mood and transient anxiety, while transitions from natural to built environments had the opposite effect. Additionally, participants showed more emotional responses to nature through physiological measures. The study also highlighted the influence of contextual factors, such as physical health conditions, stress levels, experience with nature, and growth environments, on stress recovery. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence supporting the promotion of nearby nature in urban built environments.

Summary: This study examines climate justice in the Ecuadorian Amazon Region (EAR), highlighting the multiple injustices caused by oil extraction activities. Using spatial analysis, the study shows that the EAR has been a major producer of oil since 1972, leading to environmental impacts such as oil spills and pollution. The results emphasize the need to include these territories in climate justice discussions and promote the rights to a non-toxic environment.

Summary: Vegetation barriers are an effective strategy in urban planning to mitigate traffic-induced air pollution and reduce exposure. This study uses field measurements and numerical modeling to show that constructing vegetation barriers with short bushes can effectively reduce PM2.5 pollution in open-road environments, while higher coverage of tall bushes may worsen the pollution.
