Who joins voluntary conservation programs? Socioenvironmental predictors of participation in tropical working landscapes
Voluntary conservation programs are increasingly used to align rural development with ecosystem protection within working landscapes, yet their effectiveness depends on the willingness and capacity of landowners to participate. To explore factors that influence participation, we investigated socioenvironmental characteristics of rural properties in a conservation program in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Using Bayesian modeling across 18 717 prop…
The impact of livestock farming on global fire regimes
Fire is the largest source of global vegetation disturbance and livestock farming is amongst humanity’s most pervasive impacts on the biosphere. However, no quantification has been made of livestock farming’s global impact on fire regimes. Here, we quantify the impact of livestock farming on global burned area (BA), through a combination of a new parameterisation of grassland grazing intensity in the Wildfire Human Agency Model and generalised li…
Harvesting dilemmas
How policy interventions influence burning to meet cultural and small-scale livelihood objectives
Fire has cultural and economic significance for Indigenous and rural peoples worldwide, being used to manage landscapes for activities such as hunting, gathering, cropping, and forestry, and for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. Policy interventions by state and non-state organizations, such as regulations, economic incentives, and communication campaigns, can target fire use directly, or affect it indirectly, for example, by restricting land ac…
Toward quantification of the feasible potential of land-based carbon dioxide removal
Global climate-change overshoot scenarios, where warming exceeds Paris Agreement limits before being brought back down, are highly dependent on land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), such scenarios are supported by optimistic global assessments of the technical and economic potential for land-based CDR. However, a further type of potential-the ''feasible'' po…
Unequal ecosystems of global health authorial expertise
Messy maps
To include qualitative aspects of flood resilience, such as emotion, social connections and experience, into urban planning, we present a methodology incorporating innovative and experimental map visualisations of informal settlements. The concept of resilience in urban planning is often deployed in technocratic ways using quantitative tools such as geographic information systems (GIS). Yet in the urban Global South, where high proportions of the…

Modelling food security
Mapping (for) resilience across city scales
There are growing calls, across a continuum from international agreements to social movements, for strengthening urban resilience alongside reductions in inequality and poverty. Although there is broad agreement on what the term resilience means in general, different perspectives exist on how the concept should be implemented locally and controversies around its transformative potential continue. While differing social and institutional factors a…
Eco-certification protocols as mechanisms to foster sustainable environmental practices in telecoupled systems
Undergraduate student perceptions of assessment and feedback practice
Assessment and feedback practices sit at the heart of education and the student experience. This paper reports on undergraduate perceptions of assessment and feedback in the Department of Geography at King’s College London, UK. Twenty-eight first and second-year students across six focus groups provided comments on their understanding of feedback, their feedback experiences, and what they felt could be improved. It was clear that students desired…
Spillover systems in a telecoupled Anthropocene
Trade in the telecoupling framework
As a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary sustainability challenges, telecoupling emphasizes the importance of socioeconomic and environmental interactions over long distances. These long-distance interactions can occur through multiple human activities. We focus on international trade, a major channel of telecoupling flows, and in particular on the international trade of metals. We use the data of physical products and embedded gr…
Divergent Fire Regimes in Two Contrasting Mediterranean Chestnut Forest Landscapes
Humans have historically played a critical role in the management of Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs) through traditional fire use. Although chestnut forests are widespread across the Mediterranean Basin, little is known about their historical fire regimes. Our goal here is to generate testable hypotheses about the drivers of fire regime dynamics in chestnut dominated ecosystems. To examine anthropogenic fire management we selected two sites …
Mixed qualitative-simulation methods
Across geography there has been variable engagement with the use of simulation and agent-based modelling. We argue that agent-based simulation provides a complementary method to investigate geographical issues which need not be used in ways that are epistemologically different in kind from some other approaches in contemporary geography. We propose mixed qualitative-simulation methods that iterate back-and-forth between ‘thick’ (qualitative) and …
Forgetting fire
Aspiration, Attainment and Success
In recent years, UK governments have implemented policies that emphasise the ability of parents to choose which school they wish their child to attend. Inherently spatial school-place allocation rules in many areas have produced a geography of inequality between parents that succeed and fail to get their child into preferred schools based upon where they live. We present an agent-based simulation model developed to investigate the implications of…

Multi-Model Inference in Biogeography
Multi‐model inference (MMI) aims to contribute to the production of scientific knowledge by simultaneously comparing the evidence data provide for multiple hypotheses, each represented as a model. With roots in the method of ‘multiple working hypotheses’, MMI techniques have been advocated as an alternative to null‐hypothesis significance testing. In this paper, we review two complementary MMI techniques – model selection and model averaging – an…
