The Chinese government is acutely aware of the problem of climate change. In the crucial crossroads, carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS), a kind of market-based instruments based on cap-and-trade, has become the new hope of carbon governance and the most important measure adopted to mitigate climate change. Based on the description and analysis on the ongoing process of pilot ETS in China and it
PurposeTo analyse structural characteristics of malformations of cortical development (MCD) at 7T and 3T MRI.MethodsTwenty-five patients were examined with a 7T MRI-scanner in addition to 3T examinations performed for epilepsy evaluation. 7T sequences included a 3D-T1-weighted (T1w) MPRAGE, 3D-T2w FLAIR, and heavily T2w axial and coronal high-resolution (0.5×0.5×0.75-1.0 mm3) 2D-TSE sequences.

Climate change and its associated challenges may have an impact on people and communities. Studies provide conceptual and empirical insight of the relationship between social capital and resilience. However, the social dimensions of resilience have received little attention in climate change research. This short article provides a rapid review of published studies that investigate the social dimen
Urbanization is a major contributor to biodiversity declines. However, studies assessing effects of urban landscapes per se (i.e., disentangled from focal habitat effects) on biodiversity across spatial scales are lacking. Understanding such scale-dependent effects is fundamental to preserve habitats along an urbanization gradient in a way that maximizes overall biodiversity. We investigated the i
Land sharing versus land sparing describes contrasting strategies to conserve biodiversity while maintaining agricultural production. We comprehensively reviewed empirical studies comparing land-sharing and land-sparing strategies to assess how these were conceptualized and how consequences for biodiver- sity, commodity production, and additional ecosystem services have been quantified.
