Indirect interactions between pollinators drive interaction rewiring through space
(Ecosphere, 2023-06-01)
In recent years, an extended body of literature has focused on the importance of either temporal or spatial dynamics in shaping the structure of interacting plant and pollinator communities. This improvement from a previously ...
Disentangling the Role of Forest Structure and Functional Traits in the Thermal Balance of the Mediterranean–Temperate Ecotone
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2023-06-01)
The thermal balance of forests is the result of complex land–atmosphere interactions. Different climate regimes and plant functional types can have contrasting energy budgets, but little is known about the influence of ...
Measuring the long-term recovery of forest ecosystems after anthropogenic disturbances to improve restoration strategies and outcomes.
(2021-06-11)
Ecological restoration is today globally implemented to mitigate forest degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restored forests do not commonly recover pre-disturbance levels of structure, functions or services. One ...
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
(Nature, 2023-07-06)
The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked1–3, yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently4,5. Here, we ...
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 ...
Pluralizing environmental values for urban planning: How to uncover the diversity of imaginaries about socio-natures from Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain)
(People and Nature, 2023-08-01)
Cities have pushed forward re-naturing initiatives in local planning agendas. Discourses and rationales for such interventions tend to follow instrumental framings often narrowed down to the economic, health and ecological ...
Advancing protected area effectiveness assessments by disentangling social-ecological interactions: A case study from the Luangwa Valley, Zambia
(Conservation Science and Practice, 2023-08-01)
Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) target at biodiversity conservation and human well-being, but often reflect low levels of effectiveness. Understanding PCAs social-ecological systems in which people and nature interact ...
Five levels of internalizing environmental externalities: decision-making based on instrumental and relational values of nature
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023-08-01)
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
(Nature, 2023-08-24)
Twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being1,2, addressing the global biodiversity crisis3 still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values ...
Adaptation to climate change in cities of Mediterranean Europe
(Cities, 2023-09-01)
Cities across Mediterranean Europe face common climatic threats. They are highly vulnerable and very likely to suffer losses and damages due to heat waves, droughts, wildfires, landslides, and extreme coastal events. To ...
