Short communication: Application of site‐level assessment of governance and equity (sage) methodology to a candidate oecm: AndakÍ municipal natural park, caquetÁ, colombia.
(Parks, 2021-05-01)Governance is a fundamental aspect and precondition for conservation strategies, such as protected areas or OECMs. A methodology for Site-level Assessment of Governance and Equity (SAGE) has been proposed by IUCN to explore ... -
Short- and long-term warming effects of methane may affect the cost-effectiveness of mitigation policies and benefits of low-meat diets
(Nature Food, 2021)© 2021, The Author(s).Methane’s short atmospheric life has important implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. Three different agricultural economic models are used to explore ... -
Significant implications of permafrost thawing for climate change control
(Climatic Change, 2016-04-11)Large amounts of carbon are stored as permafrost within the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate warming, carbon dioxide and methane are released. Recent studies indicate that the pool of carbon ... -
Simplistic understandings of farmer motivations could undermine the environmental potential of the common agricultural policy
(LAND USE POLICY, 2021)The European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has failed to achieve its aim of preserving European farmland biodiversity, despite massive investment in subsidies to incentivise environmentally-beneficial farming ... -
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by ... -
Skippers' preferred adaptation and transformation responses to catch declines in a large-scale tuna fishery
(ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2022)At first glance, large-scale fisheries may seem adaptable to climate change. Adaptation takes place from the governance to the individual level of fishers. At the individual level, skippers make day-to-day decisions on ... -
Slip-band distributions and microstructural fading memory beneath the firn ice transition of polar ice sheets
(Elsevier, 2018)The Antarctic Ice Sheet is a continental ice mass with circa 23 million gigatons of ice, which represent roughly 67 % of world's freshwater supply. This colossal mass of ice is by no means static, as the old ice slowly ... -
Social connectivity and adaptive capacity strategies in large-scale fisheries
(Ecology and Society, 2021-01-01)Large-scale fisheries are important social-ecological systems that are increasingly being threatened by global climate change. Adaptive capacity is key for moving fisheries onto climate resilient pathways, however, ... -
Social equity shapes zone-selection: Balancing aquatic biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services delivery in the transboundaryDanube River Basin
(Elsevier, 2019)Freshwater biodiversity is declining, despite national and international efforts to manage and protect freshwater ecosystems. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has been proposed as an approach that could more efficiently ... -
Social networks influence farming practices and agrarian sustainability
(PLoS ONE, 2021-01-07)The social-ecological effects of agricultural intensification are complex. We explore farmers perceptions about the impacts of their land management and the impact of social information flows on their management through ... -
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 ...
