Hiring a team
In the inter- and transdisciplinary (ITD) research project WildlifeNL, we hired six PhD candidates through a selection process that explicitly valued ITD competencies and aligned the process to hire a balanced team of PhD candidates. The approach included (1) a rubric with individual and team assessment criteria that we used across positions; (2) selection procedures that were aligned in their timing; (3) alignment meetings to discuss candidates …
Transformative potential of digital systems for promoting human-wildlife coexistence
Digital technology plays an increasingly important role in wildlife management and conservation, by enhancing monitoring capabilities and reshaping human-wildlife interactions. However, the transformative potential of these digital solutions for coexistence remains unclear. This paper presents a novel framework to assess the transformative potential of digital systems in wildlife management and conservation, focusing on two key factors: Digital M…
Megagrazer loss drives complex landscape-scale biophysical cascades
Wild animals can modulate ecosystem-climate feedbacks, e.g. through impacts on vegetation and associated carbon dynamics. However, vegetation cover and composition also affect land surface albedo, which is an important component of the global energy budget. We currently know very little about the influence of wild animals on land surface albedo and the resulting climate forcing of these albedo changes. Leveraging a unique, ecosystem-scale, semi-e…
Grassland albedo as a nature-based climate prospect
Nature-based solutions for mitigating climate change focus largely on land management to reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. Tree planting, commonly advocated for carbon offset, threatens grassland biodiversity and may induce positive radiative forcing (warming) by lowering albedo. Before making decisions about land-use changes in grasslands, an understanding of the fine-scale albedo of grassy versus woody vegetation is need…
Wilder rangelands as a natural climate opportunity
Rangelands face threats from climate and land-use change, including inappropriate climate change mitigation initiatives such as tree planting in grassy ecosystems. The marginalization and impoverishment of rangeland communities and their indigenous knowledge systems, and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, are additional major challenges. To address these issues, we propose the wilder rangelands integrated framework, co-developed by …
Tree cover and its heterogeneity in natural ecosystems is linked to large herbivore biomass globally
Addressing intertwined crises of climate change and biodiversity loss is a pressing global challenge, with trees playing pivotal roles in promoting carbon sequestration and habitat diversity. However, there is a distinct knowledge gap concerning the global drivers shaping tree cover and its heterogeneity, particularly the roles and relative importance of large herbivores and fire compared to climatic and topo-edaphic conditions. Here, we deploy s…
