  • Ten facts about land systems for sustainability

    Open AccessPatrick Meyfroidt, Ariane De Bremond et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2022

    Land use is central to addressing sustainability issues, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable energy. In this paper, we synthesize knowledge accumulated in land system science, the integrated study of terrestrial social-ecological systems, into 10 hard truths that have strong, general, empirical support. These facts help to explain the challenges of achieving sustainability in la…

  • Toward a normative land systems science

    Open AccessJonas Østergaard Nielsen, Ariane De Bremond et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2019Citada por: 10Referencias: 10

    Science should provide solutions for societal transformations towards sustainability in the face of global environmental change. Land system science, as a systemic science focused on complex socioecological interactions around land use and associated trade-offs and synergies, is well placed to contribute to this agenda. This goal requires a stronger engagement with the normative implications of scientific practice, research topics, questions and …

  • Climate change impacts on US agriculture and forestry

    Open AccessRobert H Beach, Yongxia Cai et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, higher temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and other climate change impacts have already begun to affect US agriculture and forestry, with impacts expected to become more substantial in the future. There have been numerous studies of climate change impacts on agriculture or forestry, but relatively little research examining the long-term net impacts of a stabilization scenario relative to a …

  • A global map of urban extent from nightlights

    Open AccessYuyu Zhou, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Urbanization, a major driver of global change, profoundly impacts our physical and social world, for example, altering not just water and carbon cycling, biodiversity, and climate, but also demography, public health, and economy. Understanding these consequences for better scientific insights and effective decision-making unarguably requires accurate information on urban extent and its spatial distributions. We developed a method to map the urban…

  • Downscaling global land cover projections from an integrated assessment model for use in regional analyses

    Open AccessTristram O West, Yannick Le Page et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Projections of land cover change generated from integrated assessment models (IAM) and other economic-based models can be applied for analyses of environmental impacts at sub-regional and landscape scales. For those IAM and economic models that project land cover change at the continental or regional scale, these projections must be downscaled and spatially distributed prior to use in climate or ecosystem models. Downscaling efforts to date have …

  • Sensitivity of climate mitigation strategies to natural disturbances

    Open AccessYannick Le Page, G C Hurtt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    The present and future concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide depends on both anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of carbon. Most proposed climate mitigation strategies rely on a progressive transition to carbon-efficient technologies to reduce industrial emissions, substantially supported by policies to maintain or enhance the terrestrial carbon stock in forests and other ecosystems. This strategy may be challenged if terrestrial se…

  • The RCP greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions from 1765 to 2300

    Open AccessMalte Meinshausen, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2011

    We present the greenhouse gas concentrations for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and their extensions beyond 2100, the Extended Concentration Pathways (ECPs). These projections include all major anthropogenic greenhouse gases and are a result of a multi-year effort to produce new scenarios for climate change research. We combine a suite of atmospheric concentration observations and emissions estimates for greenhouse gases (GHGs) …

  • Harmonization of land-use scenarios for the period 1500–2100

    Open AccessG C Hurtt, Louise Chini et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2011

    In preparation for the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the international community is developing new advanced Earth System Models (ESMs) to assess the combined effects of human activities (e.g. land use and fossil fuel emissions) on the carbon-climate system. In addition, four Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of the future (2005–2100) are being provided by four Integrated …

  • The representative concentration pathways

    Open AccessDetlef P Van Vuuren, Jae Edmonds et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2011

    This paper summarizes the development process and main characteristics of the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), a set of four new pathways developed for the climate modeling community as a basis for long-term and near-term modeling experiments. The four RCPs together span the range of year 2100 radiative forcing values found in the open literature, i.e. from 2.6 to 8.5 W/m 2 . The RCPs are the product of an innovative collaboration be…

  • Rcp4.5

    Open AccessAllison M Thomson, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2011

    Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 is a scenario that stabilizes radiative forcing at 4.5 W m −2 in the year 2100 without ever exceeding that value. Simulated with the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), RCP4.5 includes long-term, global emissions of greenhouse gases, short-lived species, and land-use-land-cover in a global economic framework. RCP4.5 was updated from earlier GCAM scenarios to incorporate historical emissions and la…

  • Implications of Limiting CO 2 Concentrations for Land Use and Energy

    Open AccessMarshall Wise, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEScience2009

    The Power of Green Carbon dioxide is produced both by fossil fuel burning and by deforestation and other land-use changes. Limiting both sources of CO 2 is necessary if we are to curb global warming. Wise et al. (p. 1183 ) use an integrated assessment model to explore the consequences of limiting atmospheric CO 2 concentrations at levels between 450 and 550 parts per million through a combination of fossil-fuel emissions reductions and land-use m…
