Editorial on the Research Topic Health, wellbeing, performance and learning in extreme contexts and natural environments.
Human life is increasingly organized around built, controlled, and technologically mediated environments. Yet formative experiences often arise in nature and contexts that can be extreme, uncertain, or challenging. This Research Topic examines how such environments shape human health, wellbeing, performance, and learning. The seven contributions to Research Topic highlight mechanisms of effect, reconceptualization of adventure and risk, the role of place and relationality, and calls to reintegrate nature into personal and societal life.
