Perception of interconnectedness
Increased awareness of human-nature interconnectedness could, according to recent global syntheses, transform the dominant unsustainable systems that threaten our shared future on this planet. We collected and synthesized evidence from the interdisciplinary body of literature on how humans perceive their interconnectedness using a systematic search and thematic coding. Our findings provide three practical additions to the literature and the scien…

Vermont Environmental Disparity Index and Risks
Mapping tools that characterize environmental inequities and health disparities have shown to be an effective approach to facilitate environmental decision making at the state level. We developed the Vermont Environmental Disparity Index (VTEDI) to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental risk, social vulnerability, and health risk in the Vermont communities. In addition to exploring regions with high cumulative impacts, we conducted a Bay…
Flocking to fire
As global climate change progresses, the United States (US) is expected to experience warmer temperatures as well as more frequent and severe extreme weather events, including heat waves, hurricanes, and wildfires. Each year, these events cost dozens of lives and do billions of dollars' worth of damage, but there has been limited research on how they influence human decisions about migration. Are people moving toward or away from areas most at ri…
The Food-Energy-Water Nexus, Regional Sustainability, and Hydraulic Fracturing
Intersections of food, energy, and water systems (also termed as the FEW nexus) pose many sustainability and governance challenges for urban areas, including risks to ecosystems, inequitable distribution of benefits and harms across populations, and reliance on distant sources for food, energy, and water. This case study provides an integrated assessment of the FEW nexus at the city and regional scale in ten contiguous counties encompassing the r…
Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment
Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice. Aligned methods are needed to support Sustainable Development Goal advances and similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles and recommendations that help harmonize methods for evidence generat…
Analyzing the greenhouse gas impact potential of smallholder development actions across a global food security program
This article analyses the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact potential of improved management practices \nand technologies for smallholder agriculture promoted under a global food security development \nprogram. Under ‘business-as-usual’ development, global studies on the future of agriculture to 2050 \nproject considerable increases in total food production and cultivated area. Conventional cropland \nintensification and conversion of natural vegetatio…
Mining drives extensive deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
Mining poses significant and potentially underestimated risks to tropical forests worldwide. In Brazil’s Amazon, mining drives deforestation far beyond operational lease boundaries, yet the full extent of these impacts is unknown and thus neglected in environmental licensing. Here we quantify mining-induced deforestation and investigate the aspects of mining operations, which most likely contribute. We find mining significantly increased Amazon f…
Coupled impacts of climate and land use change across a river–lake continuum
Global climate change (GCC) is projected to bring higher-intensity precipitation and higher-variability temperature regimes to the Northeastern United States. The interactive effects of GCC with anthropogenic land use and land cover changes (LULCCs) are unknown for watershed level hydrological dynamics and nutrient fluxes to freshwater lakes. Increased nutrient fluxes can promote harmful algal blooms, also exacerbated by warmer water temperatures…

Environmental footprints show China and Europe’s evolving resource appropriation for soybean production in Mato Grosso, Brazil
Mato Grosso has become the center of Brazil's soybean industry, with production located across an agricultural frontier expanding into savanna and rainforest biomes. We present environmental footprints of soybean production in Mato Grosso and resource flows accompanying exports to China and Europe for the 2000s using five indicators: deforestation, land footprint (LF), carbon footprint (CF), water footprint (WF), and nutrient footprints. Soybean …
Decoupling of deforestation and soy production in the southern Amazon during the late 2000s
From 2006 to 2010, deforestation in the Amazon frontier state of Mato Grosso decreased to 30% of its historical average (1996–2005) whereas agricultural production reached an all-time high. This study combines satellite data with government deforestation and production statistics to assess land-use transitions and potential market and policy drivers associated with these trends. In the forested region of the state, increased soy production from 2…
