  • Using the Secland model to project future land-use until 2050 under climate and socioeconomic change in the LTSER region Eisenwurzen (Austria)

    Open AccessClaudine Egger, Christoph Plutzar et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2022Cited by: 1References: 2

    Farmers in Europe act within guidelines set by agricultural programs, market demands and biophysical constraints. At the same time, they are social actors embedded in their respective family structures and individual lifestyles and preferences. We here present the socio-ecological land-use model SECLAND that provides an improved representation of the versatility in farmer's characteristics and subsequently its impact on land-use decision making. …

  • Biodiversity policy beyond economic growth

    Open AccessIago Otero, Katharine N Farrell et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2020

    Increasing evidence—synthesized in this paper—shows that economic growth contributes to biodiversity loss via greater resource consumption and higher emissions. Nonetheless, a review of international biodiversity and sustainability policies shows that the majority advocate economic growth. Since improvements in resource use efficiency have so far not allowed for absolute global reductions in resource use and pollution, we question the support for…

  • Global priority areas for ecosystem restoration

    Open AccessBernardo B N Strassburg, Steven L Slattery et al.ARTICLENature2020

    Extensive ecosystem restoration is increasingly seen as being central to conserving biodiversity 1 and stabilizing the climate of the Earth 2 . Although ambitious national and global targets have been set, global priority areas that account for spatial variation in benefits and costs have yet to be identified. Here we develop and apply a multicriteria optimization approach that identifies priority areas for restoration across all terrestrial biom…

  • Increasing impacts of land use on biodiversity and carbon sequestration driven by population and economic growth

  • Environmental inequality in Austria

    Open AccessHelene Glatter-Götz, Paul Mohai et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    This is the first study to examine the existence of environmental inequality related to industrial facilities in Austria. Using distance-based methods, socioeconomic characteristics of inhabitants living in 1.0 km buffer zones around the 247 polluters registered in the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Registry are compared with those of inhabitants living elsewhere in Austria. While in Vienna no clear signs of environmental inequality can …

  • Exiobase 3

    Open AccessKonstantin Stadler, Richard Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2018

    Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…

  • Hotspots of land use change in Europe

    Open AccessTobias Kuemmerle, Christian Levers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Assessing changes in the extent and management intensity of land use is crucial to understanding\nland-system dynamics and their environmental and social outcomes. Yet, changes in the spatial\npatterns of land management intensity, and thus how they might relate to changes in the extent of land\nuses, remains unclear for many world regions.Wecompiled and analyzed high-resolution, spatiallyexplicit\nland-use change indicators capturing changes in …

  • Mapping and analysing cropland use intensity from a NPP perspective

    Open AccessMaria Niedertscheider, Thomas Kastner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Meeting expected surges in global biomass demand while protecting pristine ecosystems likely requires intensification of current croplands. Yet many uncertainties relate to the potentials for cropland intensification, mainly because conceptualizing and measuring land use intensity is intricate, particularly at the global scale. We present a spatially explicit analysis of global cropland use intensity, following an ecological energy flow perspecti…

  • Global human appropriation of net primary production doubled in the 20th century

    Open AccessFridolin Krausmann, Karlheinz Erb et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013

    Global increases in population, consumption, and gross domestic product raise concerns about the sustainability of the current and future use of natural resources. The human appropriation of net primary production (HANPP) provides a useful measure of human intervention into the biosphere. The productive capacity of land is appropriated by harvesting or burning biomass and by converting natural ecosystems to managed lands with lower productivity. …

  • Challenges and opportunities in mapping land use intensity globally

    Open AccessTobias Kuemmerle, Karlheinz Erb et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2013

    Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly because we lack appropriate datasets to assess land use intensity across broad geographic extents. Here, we review the state of the art regarding approaches f…

  • Quantifying and mapping the human appropriation of net primary production in earth's terrestrial ecosystems

    Open AccessH Haberl, Karlheinz Erb et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2007

    Human appropriation of net primary production (HANPP), the aggregate impact of land use on biomass available each year in ecosystems, is a prominent measure of the human domination of the biosphere. We present a comprehensive assessment of global HANPP based on vegetation modeling, agricultural and forestry statistics, and geographical information systems data on land use, land cover, and soil degradation that localizes human impact on ecosystems…
