The Role and Need for Space-Based Forest Biomass-Related Measurements in Environmental Management and Policy
(Springer, 2019)
The achievement of international goals and national commitments related to forest conservation and management, climate change, and sustainable development requires credible, accurate, and reliable monitoring of stocks and ...
A conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of dry riverbeds through the lens of soil science
(Elsevier, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) encompass fluvial ecosystems that eventually stop flowing and run dry at some point in space and time. During the dry phase, channels of IRES consist mainly of dry riverbeds ...
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 ...
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)
The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ...
Global principles in local traditional knowledge: A review of forage plant-livestock-herder interactions

As countries consider new area-based conservation targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity, protected areas (PAs) and their impacts on people and nature are coming under increasing scrutiny. We review the ...
Impact of environmental factors on the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in lupins: a review
(Food Additives and Contaminants - Part A, 2023)
Lupin seeds have a high potential as an alternative for animal proteins in feed and food. However, the possible presence of alkaloids hinders the usage of lupins in human diets. This review aims to identify the main factors ...
Triple exposure: Reducing negative impacts of climate change, blue growth, and conservation on coastal communities
(One Earth, 2023-02-17)
Coastal communities are on the frontlines of three accelerating global change drivers, climate change, blue growth, and the expansion of area-based conservation, leading to a “triple exposure” scenario. Despite efforts to ...
Five levels of internalizing environmental externalities: decision-making based on instrumental and relational values of nature
