The objective of this work is to explore popular discourse about the COVID-19 pandemic and policies implemented manage it. Using Natural Language Processing, Text Mining, Network Analysis analyze corpus tweets that relate pandemic, we identify common responses how these differ across time. Moreover, insights as information misinformation were transmitted via Twitter, starting at early stages are presented. Finally, introduces a dataset collected from all over world, in multiple languages,...

This article is about the logic and dynamics of environmental politics when environment at stake profoundly socioecological. We investigate socioecological forests coalfields Appalachian Ohio, where once decimated are again widespread. Conceptualizing as power-laden relationships among various people, trees, other nonhumans, we identify multiple distinct forest types that currently exist both material reality future vision. Each characterized by antagonistic ideas ideal species composition,...

Optimists contend that crowdfunding, in which project backers use online campaigns to assemble numerous small donations, can democratize access finance, but there are legitimate concerns this funding approach remains discriminatory. Drawing on recent readings emphasizing the geographic components of Bourdieu’s field theory, we argue relationship between crowdfunding teams’ resources and success is mediated by spatial capital—the ability draw capital from other social spaces due context. We...

This paper investigates the adoption of discourses on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) across different national contexts. It draws institutional theories to develop test a number hypotheses role shared beliefs politico-economic institutions in determining discursive choices policy actors. The results show that win–win ecological modernization discourse, embraced by powerful government agencies international actors, dominates REDD+ arenas. discourse is...

Artificial nighttime lights have important behavioral and ecological effects on wildlife. Combining laboratory field techniques, we identified behaviorally relevant levels of light mapped the extent these across city Chicago. We began by applying a Gaussian finite mixture model to 998 sampled illumination around Chicago identify clusters levels. A simplified sample was replicated in at which C57BL/6J mice exhibited altered circadian activity patterns. then used camera trap high-altitude...

Private environmental standards attempt, in part, to internalize externalities. Offsetting firms’ externalities by buying credits is one option. Another insetting, which firms attempt address and provide positive benefits within their own supply chain. These two approaches internalizing can be tension, leading toward different types of sustainable markets. Firms adopting private as way avoiding reputational risks may more likely support insetting than offsetting strategies if primary goal...

Local-scale analysis and understanding of long-term spatio-temporal climatic patterns are crucial for designing site-specific climate change adaptation strategies in the Ethiopian Arabica coffee context. We conducted a comprehensive examination trends variability rainfall temperature during different phenological stages growth across elevation zones five major coffee-growing districts southwestern Ethiopia. Employing Mann–Kendall tests, Sen's slopes, coefficients variation, anomalies, we...

Research on community-based forest management indicates its conservation outcomes depend local rule enforcement, extraction pressures, and community support. However, many projects, particularly in the Global South, also involve collaborative networks of non-state actors such as NGOs private corporations. Many these promote sustainability certification under programs like Forest Stewardship Council. We report analyses longitudinal cover data constructed using satellite observations alongside...

Abstract New digital tools for monitoring forest‐ and land‐cover change have made it easier civil society actors to call firms account deforestation. In response, companies in deforestation‐linked global value chains (GVCs) turned these technologies themselves. contrast many case analyses of technology GVCs, which focus on how changes production processes, forcing governance adapt, forest‐monitoring directly. Synthesising work transaction characteristics power relations GVCs address this...

Abstract We present an openly available dataset to facilitate researchers’ exploration of popular discourse about the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset, whose collection is ongoing, currently consists over 780 million tweets, from all world, in multiple languages. Tweets start 22 January 2020, when total cases reported were below 600 worldwide. was collected using Twitter API and by rehydrating tweets another database. To access for other researchers, English-language tweet data has been...
