Incorporating landscape patterns can improve global-scale models of land use and land cover change
Environmental and socioeconomic variables that are used to predict land use and land cover (LULC) change in most global-scale land use models miss some LULC change processes, including cropland expansion in frontier areas. We tested whether incorporating landscape metrics, which measure the spatial arrangement of landscapes and vary according to complex anthropogenic and environmental factors, in global- and continental-scale machine learning mod…
Greenspace quality and proximity are stronger predictors of mental health than quantity or access
Compared models of poor mental health with distinct urban greenspace characteristics. • Proxies for greenspace quality and proximity emerged as the strongest predictors. • Greenspace quantity and access were weaker in explaining variation in mental health. • Findings highlight the need to prioritise urban greenspace quality and proximity. As evidence grows for the mental health benefits of urban greenspaces, understanding which specific character…
A global analysis of the bidirectional relationship between biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction
Biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction are globally interlinked and increasingly addressed together to achieve sustainable development. Amid diverse interventions and scarce funding, it is imperative to examine their bidirectional relationship to guide resource allocation. We conduct a global analysis by disaggregating the interaction between 29 kinds of conservation actions and 6 dimensions of poverty (livelihood capitals), using data f…
Socio-economic, structural, and policy drivers of agroforestry in Great Britain
Agroforestry (AF) is a critical solution for climate, biodiversity, and food security, yet its adoption is hindered by a lack of practice-specific evidence. This paper examines the factors influencing farmer adoption of eight AF practices in Great Britain. Survey data from 315 farmers, including a Best-Worst Scaling experiment, is analysed using a spatial multivariate ordered probit model. The analysis shows that farmer adoption intention is stro…
Broad support for lethal control of wild deer among subscribers of nature organisations in England and Wales
Wild deer populations are increasing across the northern hemisphere, posing challenges to the environment and people. Deer impacts can be managed using lethal and non‐lethal practices, but research suggests lethal control receives mixed support. Differences in perspectives towards management practices may hinder collaborative, landscape‐scale strategies required to achieve resilient ecosystems and tree cover targets. Thus, understanding human‐dee…
High-resolution land-use maps from 1960 to 2100
Anthropogenic land-use and land-cover change is a major driver of climate change and biodiversity loss. Land-use and land-cover change also leads to changes in the spatial pattern of Earth’s landscapes, which have further negative impacts on environmental processes. For example, deforestation can increase the distance between forest patches, making it harder for species to move between them. Harmonized land-use and land-cover datasets contain sta…
Anticipating futures
Businesses, planners and policy makers must make decisions that influence a future about which they have incomplete knowledge. Whilst knowing the future may be illusive, the capacity to adapt as required, is desirable for both organisations and society. We examine what different perspectives can offer, considering how empirical-analytical (e.g., modelling, data), narrative-experiential (e.g., fiction, history, gaming), and socio-technological (e.…
Biodiversity offsets perform poorly for both people and nature, but better approaches are available
Sustainability requires that we restore biodiversity and wider ecosystem services, yet developments such as new housing inevitably cause environmental impacts. Accordingly, developers are increasingly required to resource offset projects, delivering biodiversity or wider environmental net gains. However, analyses of offsets in England show that the large majority are conducted within development sites rather than targeted toward better opportunit…
Identifying counter-urbanisation using Facebook's user count data
Identifying the growing widespread phenomenon of counter-urbanisation, where people relocate from urban centres to rural areas, is essential for understanding the social and ecological consequences of the associated changes. However, its nuanced dynamics and complex characteristics pose challenges for quantitative analysis. Here, we used near real-time Facebook user count data for Belgium and Thailand, with missing data imputed, and applied the S…
The relative effects of access to public greenspace and private gardens on mental health
Although the beneficial effects of urban greenspace on mental health are widely accepted, the comparative effects of public greenspace and private (domestic) gardens on mental health are poorly understood. Here, an assessment is provided of the effect of local public greenspace on a person’s mental health for those with and without a private garden in Britain. Individual level data on private garden ownership and mental health status are obtained…
Ecosystem service coproduction across the zones of biosphere reserves in Europe
Biosphere reserves (BR) balance biodiversity protection and sustainable use through different management restrictions in three zones: core areas, buffer zones, and transition areas. Information about the links between zoning and ecosystem services (ES) is lacking, particularly in terms of the relative roles of natural contributions (ecosystem properties and functions) and anthropogenic contributions (human inputs such as technology and infrastruc…
Connecting governance interventions to ecosystem services provision
The fulfilment of the benefits resulting from services provided by nature requires an integrated framework that combines appropriate ecosystem service governance with spatially explicit models of service provision. Here, we propose using a social‐ecological network approach to develop a ‘landscape governance framework’ that identifies how different types of governance can act on supply, demand and flow of ecosystem services through changes in lan…
Land-use change from food to energy
Bioenergy has been identified as a key contributor to future energy scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement targets, and is relied upon in scenarios both with and without bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, owing to the multiple ways in which bioenergy can substitute fossil fuels. Understanding the environmental and societal impacts of land-use change (LUC) to bioenergy crops is important in determining where and how they could be de…
Trade-off decisions in ecosystem management for poverty alleviation
The academic literature on trade-offs in ecosystem management has paid relatively little attention to justice and poverty reduction objectives. The aim of this paper is to highlight the multiple dimensions of trade-offs in ecosystem services management for poverty alleviation, and to support decision-makers in planning for the almost inevitable trade-offs arising from environmental interventions. The paper brings together different dimensions or …
A systematic map of research exploring the effect of greenspace on mental health
The past 35 years has seen an accumulation of empirical evidence suggesting a positive association between greenspace and mental health. Existing reviews of evidence are narrow in scope, and do not adequately represent the broad range of disciplines working in this field. This study is the first systematic map of studies investigating greenspace effects on mental health. A total of 6059 papers were screened for their relevance, 276 of which met i…
Incorporating geodiversity in ecosystem service decisions
Holistic conservation of ecosystem services (ES) requires a greater understanding of how the interactions of biotic and abiotic aspects of nature provide them. Currently, geodiversity, the diversity of geology, geomorphology, sediments and soils and hydrology, as well as the services that they provide in isolation of interactions with biotic nature – geosystem services (GS) – are overlooked in ES literature and frameworks. Here, we provide a seri…
Identifying Agricultural Frontiers for Modeling Global Cropland Expansion
The increasing expansion of cropland is major driver of global carbon emissions and biodiversity loss. However, predicting plausible future global distributions of croplands remains challenging. Here, we show that, in general, existing global data aligned with classical economic theories of expansion explain the current (1992) global extent of cropland reasonably well, but not recent expansion (1992-2015). Deviations from models of cropland exten…
Scale dependency in drivers of outdoor recreation in England
Managing landscapes for multiple, sometimes conflicting, objectives requires an understanding of the trade‐offs and synergies between ecosystem services (ES). These trade‐offs and synergies are often the result of drivers acting at different scales. Therefore, in order to understand trade‐offs and synergies it is important that we understand the scale dependency in drivers of ES. Here, we examine scale dependencies in the drivers of outdoor recre…

Unravelling the interrelationships between ecosystem services and human wellbeing in the Bangladesh delta
Coupled social and ecological systems need to be understood from a dynamic perspective in order to operationalise complexity concepts, such as tipping points, for sustainable ecosystem management. In this study, we strive to achieve this type of conceptual understanding through the analysis of the relationships (e.g. strength, nonlinearity) between the trends of ecosystem services (ES) and human wellbeing (HWB) between 1960 and 2010 in the south-…

Safe and just operating spaces for regional social-ecological systems
Humanity faces a major global challenge in achieving wellbeing for all, while simultaneously ensuring that the biophysical processes and ecosystem services that underpin wellbeing are exploited within scientifically informed boundaries of sustainability. We propose a framework for defining the safe and just operating space for humanity that integrates social wellbeing into the original planetary boundaries concept (Rockström et al., 2009a,b) for …
