Supporting evidence — 8 representative gaps

• From helicopter to satellite science: shifting climate research practices in Khumbu, Nepal Himalaya (2026) · Frontiers in Earth Science · doi

  Future studies could incorporate additional databases and grey literature to address the limitations of the current study. Future research could focus on supporting local researchers and community-led initiatives. Future studies could explore the impacts of climate change on local communities and ecosystems in the region.

• Boundary Conditions for Organizations in the Anthropocene: A Review of the Planetary Boundaries Framework 10 Years On (2024) · Journal of Management Studies · cited 40× · doi

  Theoretical development remains fragmented and of greater concern, a systems perspective is lacking in empirical studies: Most articles focus solely on one issue – climate change – and there is almost no cross‐analysis between boundaries.

• Historical climate variability extremes and socio-environmental impacts in Ethiopia (2026) · Discover Environment · doi

  Further research is needed to understand the impacts of climate variability and extremes on specific sectors, such as agriculture and health. Studies should focus on developing region-specific adaptation strategies and improving climate services. Research should prioritize the integration of climate science into national development planning.

• Climate heterogeneity enhances macroclimate data-driven vegetation modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  Further study is needed to examine the applicability of the study's findings to other regions. Additional research is needed to explore the effects of other factors on vegetation distribution, such as land use and disturbance. Future studies should aim to incorporate climate heterogeneity into species distribution models.
