  • Pathway narratives towards a nature-positive European Union land system: Operationalising the Nature Futures Framework for policy objectives

    Open AccessJoanna Raymond, Thomas M Schmitt et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2025References: 7

    The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) aims to open up space for plural perspectives on human–nature relationships and to identify visions for people to navigate towards desirable nature-positive futures. Operationalising the NFF offers a way to explore alternative pathways to reach these futures, but such applications are currently underdeveloped. Normative narratives can describe pathways towards nature-positive futures based on environmental polic…

  • European scenarios for future biological invasions

    Open AccessCristian Pérez‐Granado, Bernd Lenzner et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Invasive alien species are one of the major threats to global biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, nature's contributions to people and human health. While scenarios about potential future developments have been available for other global change drivers for quite some time, we largely lack an understanding of how biological invasions might unfold in the future across spatial scales. Based on previous work on global invasion scenarios, we developed …

  • Slow-lived birds and bats carry higher pathogen loads

    Open AccessYanjie Xu, Veronika N Laine et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Wildlife and zoonotic diseases are increasingly impacting human society, the food chain, and wildlife; therefore, proactive mitigation tools for predicting large-scale risk of the relevant pathogens are urgently needed. Birds and bats are large-scale disease reservoirs and transmitters. However, holistic understanding for which bird and bat species act as reservoirs for pathogens remains understudied. Here, we test the extent to which the feature…

  • Addressing the challenge of photovoltaic growth: Integrating multiple objectives towards sustainable green energy development

    Open AccessVirgilio Hermoso, Gerard Bota et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023Cited by: 3References: 25

    Photovoltaic production is growing globally thanks to climate change mitigation efforts. However, this growth is seldom planned which can lead to conflicts with other land uses, mostly agriculture and biodiversity conservation. There is, therefore, urgent need for adequate planning to minimise potential conflicts. We demonstrate how to identify priority areas for photovoltaic development to meet projected targets for 2050, as well as critical are…

  • Stakeholder perceptions of wildfire management strategies as nature-based solutions in two Iberian biosphere reserves

    Open AccessJudit Lecina-Diaz, João Campos et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2023Cited by: 1

    Increased large and high-intensity wildfires cause large socioeconomic and ecological impacts, which demand improved landscape management approaches in which both ecological and societal dimensions are integrated. Engaging society in fire management requires a better understanding of stakeholder perceptions of wildfires and landscape management. We analyze stakeholder perceptions about wildfire-landscape interactions in abandoned rural landscapes…

  • The future distribution of wetland birds breeding in Europe validated against observed changes in distribution

    Open AccessAlaaeldin Soultan, Diego Pavón‐Jordán et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Wetland bird species have been declining in population size worldwide as climate warming and land-use change affect their suitable habitats. We used species distribution models (SDMs) to predict changes in range dynamics for 64 non-passerine wetland birds breeding in Europe, including range size, position of centroid, and margins. We fitted the SDMs with data collected for the first European Breeding Bird Atlas and climate and land-use data to pr…

  • Biodiversity policy beyond economic growth

    Open AccessIago Otero, Katharine N Farrell et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2020

    Increasing evidence—synthesized in this paper—shows that economic growth contributes to biodiversity loss via greater resource consumption and higher emissions. Nonetheless, a review of international biodiversity and sustainability policies shows that the majority advocate economic growth. Since improvements in resource use efficiency have so far not allowed for absolute global reductions in resource use and pollution, we question the support for…

  • Future impact of climate extremes in the Mediterranean: Soil erosion projections when fire and extreme rainfall meet

    Open AccessAlejandra Morán‐Ordóñez, Andrea Duane et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2020

    Climate change projections over the Mediterranean basin point toward an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme events that will directly impact ecosystems resilience. In this study, we evaluated future trends of soil loss in forestland in Catalonia (NE Spain) due to fires and vegetation dynamics, considering the potential future impacts of co‐occurring extreme fire and rainfall events, and assessing how fire suppression can contribute to …

  • Four ideas to boost EU conservation policy as 2020 nears

    Open AccessVirgilio Hermoso, Alejandra Morán-Ordóñez et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The European Union (EU) committed to halt the loss of biodiversity in its 2020 Biodiversity Strategy. However, all reports show conservation efforts are falling short of their objectives and the status of biodiversity in the EU continues to decline. Here, we propose four key avenues for the next Strategy, currently under discussion, to make EU conservation efforts more effective. First, we suggest the next Biodiversity Strategy should ensure lega…

  • Functional landscape heterogeneity and animal biodiversity in agricultural landscapes

    Open AccessLenore Fahrig, Jacques Baudry et al.ARTICLEEcology Letters2011

    Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes can be increased with conversion of some production lands into 'more-natural'- unmanaged or extensively managed - lands. However, it remains unknown to what extent biodiversity can be enhanced by altering landscape pattern without reducing agricultural production. We propose a framework for this problem, considering separately compositional heterogeneity (the number and proportions of different cover types)…
