How to promote the integrative ability of transdisciplinary graduate students
By integrating the insights of academic researchers and stakeholders from outside the academy, transdisciplinary research promises to help address complex challenges that threaten the safety and well-being of people the world over. This promise has led to the development of systematic efforts to train graduate students to conduct transdisciplinary research, and there is increasing interest in transdisciplinary education in the graduate training l…
Addressing communication challenges in transdisciplinary sustainability science
To address sustainable development challenges, transdisciplinary sustainability science (TDSS) requires understanding and managing ecological processes that transcend scientific, geopolitical, and cultural divides. Communication that can bridge these divides is critical for the success of TDSS projects. We describe a communication strategy developed as part of a large, transdisciplinary, multiyear project that aimed to understand the impact of in…
Stakeholders' views on the global guidelines for the sustainable use of non‐native trees
A large number of non‐native trees (NNTs) have been introduced globally and widely planted, contributing significantly to the world's economy. Although some of these species present a limited risk of spreading beyond their planting sites, a growing number of NNTs are spreading and becoming invasive leading to diverse negative impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and human well‐being. To help minimize the negative impacts and maximize the …
Promising practices for dealing with complexity in research for development
Are there aspects of complexity that are characteristic for research for development projects? Our study shows what are these aspects, how they affect research and what practices seem to be promising for dealing with the increasing levels of complexity.The need to deal with complexity is getting increasingly attention in research for development projects implemented through transboundary research partnerships between organisations from the Global…
Combatting global grassland degradation
Stakeholder priorities determine the impact of an alien tree invasion on ecosystem multifunctionality
While the ecological impact of environmental change drivers, such as alien plant invasions, is relatively well described, quantitative social‐ecological studies detailing how these changes impact multiple ecosystem services, and subsequently stakeholders, are lacking. We used a social‐ecological approach to assess how Prosopis juliflora (Prosopis henceforth), an invasive tree, affects the provision of multiple ecosystem services to different stak…
