The road to integrate climate change projections with regional land‐use–biodive...
Cabral, Juliano Sarmento; Mendoza‐Ponce, Alma; P. Silva, André; Oberpriller, Johannes; Mimet, Anne; Kieslinger, Julia; Berger, ThomasCurrent approaches to project spatial biodiversity responses to climate change mainly focus on the direct effects of climate on species while regarding land use and land cover as constant or prescribed by global land-use scenarios. However, local land-use decisions are often affected by climate change and biodiversity on top of socioeconomic and policy drivers. To realistically understand and predict climate im...
Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via exper...
Chrysafi, Anna; Virkki, Vili; Jalava, Mika; Sandström, Vilma; Piipponen, Johannes; Porkka, Miina; Lade, Steven J.; La Mere, Kelsey; Wang-Erlandsson, LanSeveral safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food production, identifying many interactions little explored in Earth sy...
Linking biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being: three challenge...
Bennett, Elena M.; Cramer, Wolfgang; Begossi, Alpina; Cundill, Georgina; Díaz, Sandra; Egoh, Benis N.; Geijzendorffer, Ilse R.; Krug, Cornelia B.Ecosystem services have become a mainstream concept for the expression of values assigned by people to various functions of ecosystems. Even though the introduction of the concept has initiated a vast amount of research, progress in using this knowledge for sustainable resource use remains insufficient. We see a need to broaden the scope of research to answer three key questions that we believe will improve inc...
