  • The role of nature's contributions to people in sustaining international trade of agricultural products

    Open Access•Alexandra Marques, Aletta Bonn et al.•ARTICLE•People and Nature•2024

    Nature's contributions to people (NCP) are essential for the production and trade of agricultural, forestry and fishery commodities. Often, there is a spatial disconnect between consumers and the natural systems where the commodities are produced. Traded agricultural products are therefore dependent on nature and NCP in their region of origin. The dependencies of agricultural products on NCP are, however, insufficiently recognised by consumers an…

  • Human-carnivore relations: Conflicts, tolerance and coexistence in the American West

    Open Access•Mónica Expósito-Granados, Mónica Expósito‐Granados et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2019

    Carnivore and humans live in proximity due to carnivore recovery efforts and ongoing human encroachment into carnivore habitats globally. The American West is a region that uniquely exemplifies these human-carnivore dynamics, however, it is unclear how the research community here integrates social and ecological factors to examine human-carnivore relations. Therefore, strategies promoting human-carnivore coexistence are urgently needed. We conduc…

  • The American West as a social-ecological region: Drivers, dynamics and implications for nested social-ecological systems

    Open Access•Kristal Jones, J Abrams et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2019

    The American West exists in the popular imagination as a distinct region, and policies and politics often suggest that both the challenges and the opportunities for land management and human well-being across the region are relatively homogeneous. In this paper, we argue that there are key characteristics that define the West as a social-ecological region, and also that there are myriad social-ecological systems (SESs) within the region that requ…

  • Six Collective Challenges for Sustainability of Almería Greenhouse Horticulture

    Open Access•Antonio Arjona Castro, María D López‐Rodríguez et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2019

    Globally, current food consumption and trade are placing unprecedented demand on agricultural systems and increasing pressure on natural resources, requiring tradeoffs between food security and environmental impacts especially given the tension between market-driven agriculture and agro-ecological goals. In order to illustrate the wicked social, economic and environmental challenges and processes to find transformative solutions, we focus on the …

  • Ecosystem services of temporary streams differ between wet and dry phases in regions with contrasting climates and economies

    Open Access•Rachel Stubbington, Mike Acreman et al.•ARTICLE•People and Nature•2020

    Temporary streams are dynamic ecosystems in which mosaics of flowing, ponded and dry habitats support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. Species interact within habitats to perform or facilitate processes that vary in response to changing habitat availability. A natural capital approach recognizes that, through such processes, the ‘natural assets’ of all ecosystems deliver services that benefit people. The ecosystem servic…

  • Participatory collective farming as a leverage point for fostering human-nature connectedness

    Open Access•Irene Pérez-Ramírez, Irene Pérez‐Ramírez et al.•ARTICLE•Ecosystems and People•2021

    Human-nature connectedness is key to foster environmental and socio-cultural sustainability in agricultural landscapes since it promotes the establishment of belonging, stewardship, and connections to nature. Cooperation, collective action, and the role of women at sustainable agroecological practices could be leverage points in which small interventions may hold great potential for system transformation. We analyse the different types of human-n…

  • Conservation planning in an uncertain climate: Identifying projects that remain valuable and feasible across future scenarios

    Open Access•Sean C Emmons, Sean M Wineland et al.•ARTICLE•People and Nature•2021

    Conservation actors face the challenge of allocating limited resources despite uncertainty about future climate conditions. In many cases, the potential value and feasibility of proposed projects vary across climate scenarios. A key goal is to identify areas where conservation outcomes can balance both environmental and human needs. We developed a conservation prioritization framework that jointly considers the value and feasibility of candidate …

  • A framework for assessing coupling and de-coupling trajectories in river social-ecological systems

    Open Access•Cristina Quintas‐soriano, Joan Brandt et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainability Science•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 7

    The degree of coupling between the social and ecological components of social-ecological systems is seen as fundamental to understanding their functioning, interactions and trajectories. Yet, there is limited work about how to empirically understand the degree of coupling between social and ecological systems, nor the processes by which the degree of coupling could change over time. Here, we introduce a conceptual framework for characterizing tra…
