Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification
(Nature Sustainability, 2018)Land-use intensification in agrarian landscapes is seen as a key strategy to simultaneously feed humanity and use ecosystems sustainably, but the conditions that support positive social-ecological outcomes remain poorly ... -
Socio-economic projections in urban climate change adaptation planning: Practices and prospects for just adaptation
(Habitat International, 2023)Urban climate change adaptation efforts have often been criticized for exacerbating the inequitable impacts of climate change by failing to address the social, economic, and environmental impacts of adaptation. There is ... -
Solidaric solarities: Governance principles for transforming solar power relations
(Progress in Environmental Geography, 2023-07-31)Solar energy has become the world's cheapest and fastest scaling electricity source. Multiple societal sectors are electrifying, and the scale and pace of change give some hope of near-future rapid climate mitigation through ... -
Southward re-distribution of tropical tuna fisheries activity can be explained by technological and management change
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)There is broad evidence of climate change causing shifts in fish distribution worldwide, but less is known about the response of fisheries to these changes. Responses to climate-driven shifts in a fishery may be constrained ... -
Spatial biases reduce the ability of Earth system models to simulate soil heterotrophic respiration fluxes
(Biogeosciences, 2024-02-02)Heterotrophic respiration (Rh) is, at a global scale, one of the largest CO2 fluxes between the Earth's surface and atmosphere and may increase in the future. The previous generation of Earth system models (ESMs) was able ... -
Spatial variability of soil respiration (R<inf>s</inf>) and its controls are subjected to strong seasonality in an even-aged European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stand
(European Journal of Soil Science, 2021-09-01)Uncertainties arising from the so-far poorly explained spatial variability of soil respiration (Rs) remain large. This is partly due to the limited understanding about how spatially variable Rs actually is, but also on how ... -
Spatially explicit species distribution models: A missed opportunity in conservation planning?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)Aim: Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. Due to incomplete species inventories, species distribution models ... -
Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ... -
Stakeholders perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies
(Elsevier, 2018)The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners perspectives on the practical implementation ... -
Stochastic diffusion models to describe the evolution of annual heatwave statistics: A three-factor model with risk calculations
(Elsevier, 2019)In view of risk assessments this paper proposes a stochastic diffusion model to characterise statistics of extreme events when climate- or environmental variables surpass critical thresholds. The proposed three-factor model ... -
Storage and demand response contribution to firm capacity: Analysis of the Spanish electricity system
(Energy Reports, 2022)Provision of firm capacity will become a challenge in power systems dominated by renewable generation. This paper analyzes the competitiveness and role of battery storage, six types of pumped-hydro storage, open cycle gas ... -
Storylines for practice: a visual storytelling approach to strengthen the science-practice interface
(Sustainability Science, 2020-07-01)A growing number of scientific publications is available to promote sustainable river management. However, these publications target researchers rather than water management professionals who are responsible for the ... -
Subaltern forms of knowledge are required to boost local adaptation
(One Earth, 2021-06-18)Evidence shows that current adaptation planning approaches are not always successful in generating actionable knowledge to guide implementation on the ground. There remains a persistent disconnect between the production ... -
Summer drought and spring frost, but not their interaction, constrain European beech and Silver fir growth in their southern distribution limits
(Elsevier, 2019)Climate warming has lengthened the growing season by advancing leaf unfolding in many temperate tree species. However, an earlier leaf unfolding increases also the risk of frost damage in spring which may reduce tree radial ... -
Sustainability Assessment of Pasture-Based Dairy Sheep Systems: A Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Approach
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)This article describes a novel methodological approach for the integrated sustainability assessment of pasture-based dairy sheep systems. Most studies on livestock system sustainability focus on animal production, farm ... -
Taxing air pollutants and carbon individually or jointly: results from a CGE model enriched by an emission abatement sector
(The International Input Output Association, 2019)We analyse the separate and collective impacts of emissions taxation to understand the internalisation effects of externalities. The analysis is carried out using a static computable general equilibrium model, with ... -
Ten facts about land systems for sustainability
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-02-15)... -
Ten lessons for good practice for the INHERIT triple win: Health, equity, and environmental sustainability
(MDPI, 2019)The world s challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. ... -

Testing the SDG targets on water and sanitation using the world trade model with a waste, wastewater, and recycling framework
(Elsevier, 2019)In this article, we employ an extended world trade model and rectangular choice of technology (WTM/RCOT) framework, which minimizes global factor costs subject to satisfying final demand and respecting region-specific ...
