Crona, B., Gelcich, S., Bodin, Ö. 2016. The Importance of Interplay Between Leadership and Social Capital in Shaping Outcomes of Rights-Based Fisheries Governance. World Development Volume 91: 70 – 83
This paper aims to move the theoretical and empirical work on the role of social capital and leadership in natural resource governance (particularly fisheries) forward by deepening the discussion around the conceptualization and operationalization of social capital. We also extend empirical work on TURF performance by examining multiple social and ecological outcomes. We put forth four theoretically informed propositions about...
Daume, S., V. Galaz. 2016. “Anyone know what species this is?”: Twitter conversations as embryonic citizen science communities. PLoS ONE 11(3): e0151387.
Social media like blogs, micro-blogs or social networks are increasingly being investigated and employed to detect and predict trends for not only social and physical phenomena, but also to capture environmental information. Here we argue that opportunistic biodiversity observations published through Twitter represent one promising and until now unexplored example of such data mining. As we elaborate, it can contribute to real...
de Loë, R.C., D. Murray, S. Michaels, R. Plummer. 2016. Policy transfer among regional-level organizations: Insights from source water protection in Ontario. Environmental Management 58: 31 – 47
Organizations at the local and regional scales often face the challenge of developing policy mechanisms rapidly and concurrently, whether in response to expanding mandates, newly identified threats, or changes in the political environment. In the Canadian Province of Ontario, rapid, concurrent policy development was considered desirable by 19 regional organizations tasked with developing policies for protection of drinking wat...
Dile, Y.T., L. Karlberg, R. Srinivasan, J. Rockström. 2016. Investigation of the curve number method for surface runoff estimation in tropical regions. Journal of the American Water Resources Association 52: 1155 – 1169
This study tests the applicability of the curve number (CN) method within the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to estimate surface runoff at the watershed scale in tropical regions. To do this, surface runoff simulated using the CN method was compared with observed runoff in numerous rainfall-runoff events in three small tropical watersheds located in the Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia. The CN method generally performed ...
Ditzel Faraco, L.F., J.M. Andriguetto, T. Daw, P.D. Lana, C.F. Teixeira. 2016. Vulnerability among fishers in Southern Brazil and its relation to marine protected areas in a scenario of declining fisheries. Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente 38: 51 – 76
Vulnerability of small-scale fishers in the north coast of Paraná State, Southern Brazil, has been increasing due to a decline in catches and general problems of access to and management of natural resources, associated with biodiversity conservation policies. The predicted effects of climate change will represent an additional source of disturbance on local livelihoods. This study aimed to describe vulnerability of fishers an...
Eqani, S.A.M.A.S., A.K. Bhowmik, S. Qamar, S.T.A. Shah, M. Sohail, S.I. Mulla, M. Fasola, H. Shen. 2016. Mercury contamination in deposited dust and its bioaccumulation patterns throughout Pakistan. Science of the Total Environment 569: 585 – 593.
Mercury (Hg) contamination of environment is a major threat to human health in developing countries like Pakistan. Human populations, particularly children, are continuously exposed to Hg contamination via dust particles due to the arid and semi-arid climate. However, a country wide Hg contamination data for dust particles is lacking for Pakistan and hence, human populations potentially at risk is largely unknown. We provide t...
Galaz, V., A de Zeeuw, H. Shiroyama, D. Tripley. 2016. Planetary Boundaries: Governing emerging risks and opportunities. Solutions 7(3): 46 – 54.
The climate, ecosystems and species, ozone layer, acidity of the oceans, the flow of energy and elements through nature, landscape change, freshwater systems, aerosols, and toxins—these constitute the planetary boundaries within which humanity must find a safe way to live and prosper. These are thresholds that, if we cross them, we run the risk of rapid, non-linear, and irreversible changes to the environment, with severe cons...
Garavito-Bermúdez, D., C. Lundholm, B. Crona. 2016. Linking a conceptual framework on systems thinking with experiential knowledge. Environmental Education Research 22: 89 – 110
This paper addresses a systemic approach for the study of fishers’ ecological knowledge in order to describe fishers’ ways of knowing and dealing with complexity in ecosystems, and discusses how knowledge is generated through, e.g. apprenticeship, experiential knowledge, and testing of hypotheses. The description and analysis of fishers’ ecological knowledge has been done using the Structure – Dynamics–Functions conceptual...
Gasparatos, A., K. Takeuchi, T. Elmqvist, K. Fukushi, M. Nagao, F. Swanepoel, M. Swilling, D. Trotter, H. von Blottnitz. 2016. Sustainability science for meeting Africa’s challenges. Sustainability Science 11: 371 – 372
Goodness, J., E. Andersson, P. Anderson, T. Elmqvist. 2016. Exploring the links between functional traits and cultural ecosystem services to enhance urban ecosystem management. Ecological Indicators 70: 597 – 605.
Functional traits have been proposed as a more mechanistic way than species data alone to connect biodiversity to ecosystem processes and function in ecological research. Recently, this framework has also been broadened to include connections of traits to ecosystem services. While many links between traits and ecosystem processes/functions are easily and logically extended to regulating, supporting, and provisioning services, ...
