  • Agroecological transition in Madrid’s extensive livestock systems

    Open AccessBeatriz Vizuete, Marina García-Llorente et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2026

    In the Mediterranean region, the industrialization of livestock systems, driven by the replacement of extensive pasture-based systems with intensive input-dependent models, has triggered environmental degradation and socio-cultural changes. The transition of livestock systems toward agroecological practices can reduce external dependencies, enhance ecosystem contributions and strengthen socioecological resilience. This study analyzes experts’ per…

  • Biosphere Futures

    Open AccessJan J Kuiper, Jan Kuiper et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2024Cited by: 2

    Biosphere Futures (https://biospherefutures.net/) is a new online database to collect and discover scenario studies from across the world, with a specific focus on scenarios that explicitly incorporate interdependencies between humans and their supporting ecosystems. It provides access to a globally diverse collection of case studies that includes most ecosystems and regions, enabling exploration of the multifaceted ways in which the future might…

  • The programme on ecosystem change and society (Pecs) – a decade of deepening social-ecological research through a place-based focus

    Open AccessAlbert V Norström, Bina Agarwal et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2022

    The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) was established in 2011, and is now one of the major international social-ecological systems (SES) research networks. During this time, SES research has undergone a phase of rapid growth and has grown into an influential branch of sustainability science. In this Perspective, we argue that SES research has also deepened over the past decade, and helped to shed light on key dimensions of SES dyna…

  • Advancing research on ecosystem service bundles for comparative assessments and synthesis

    Open AccessMegan Meacham, Albert V Norström et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2022

    Social-ecological interactions have been shown to generate interrelated and reoccurring sets of ecosystem services, also known as ecosystem service bundles. Given the potential utility of the bundles concept, along with the recent surge in interest it is timely to reflect on the concept, its current use and potential for the future. Based on our ecosystem service bundle experience, expertise, and ecosystem service bundle analyses, we have found c…

  • Land-use intensity mediates ecosystem service tradeoffs across regional social-ecological systems

    Open AccessJiangxiao Qiu, Cibele Queiroz et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2021

    A key sustainability challenge in human-dominated landscapes is how to reconcile competing demands such as food production, water quality, climate regulation, and ecological amenities. Prior research has documented how efforts to prioritize desirable ecosystem services such as food and fiber have often led to tradeoffs with other services. However, the growing literature has revealed different and sometimes contradictory patterns in ecosystem ser…

  • The undisciplinary journey

    Open AccessL Jamila Haider, Jonas Hentati‐Sundberg et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2017Cited by: 14References: 16

    The establishment of interdisciplinary Master's and PhD programs in sustainability science is opening up an exciting arena filled with opportunities for early-career scholars to address pressing sustainability challenges. However, embarking upon an interdisciplinary endeavor as an early-career scholar poses a unique set of challenges: to develop an individual scientific identity and a strong and specific methodological skill-set, while at the sam…

  • Mapping bundles of ecosystem services reveals distinct types of multifunctionality within a Swedish landscape

    Open AccessCibele Queiroz, Megan Meacham et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2015Cited by: 22References: 29

    Ecosystem services (ES) is a valuable concept to be used in the planning and management of social-ecological landscapes. However, the understanding of the determinant factors affecting the interaction between services in the form of synergies or trade-offs is still limited. We assessed the production of 16 ES across 62 municipalities in the Norrström drainage basin in Sweden. We combined GIS data with publically available information for quantify…
