Water-table-driven greenhouse gas emission estimates guide peatland restoration at national scale
The substantial climate change mitigation potential of restoring peatlands through rewetting and intensifying agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is largely recognized.The green deal in Denmark aims at restoring 100 000 ha of peatlands by 2030.This area corresponds to more than half of the Danish peatland, with an expected reductio
Hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions as an indicator of access to primary care and excess of bed supply
Abstract Background Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) hospitalization is a widely accepted measure of the access to primary care.However, given its discretionary characteristics, the ACSC hospitalization can be a measure reflecting the influence of hospital bed supply.In Korea, where the quality of primary care and oversupply of hospital
