Morel, C.M., Alm, R.A., Årdal, C. et al. 2020. A one health framework to estimate the cost of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 9, 187 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13756-020-00822-6
The costs attributable to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remain theoretical and largely unspecified. Current figures fail to capture the full health and economic burden caused by AMR across human, animal, and environmental health; historically many studies have considered only direct costs associated with human infection from a hospital perspective, primarily from high-income countries. The Global Antimicrobial Resistance Plat...
Wellmann, T., Lausch, A., Andersson, E., Knapp, S., Cortinovis, C. et.al. 2020. Remote sensing in urban planning: Contributions towards ecologically sound policies? Landscape and Urban Planning Volume 204, December 2020, 103921, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103921
Remote sensing has evolved to become a key tool for various fields of environmental analysis, thus actively informing policy across areas and domains. To evaluate the degree to which remote sensing is contributing to the science of ecologically-oriented urban planning, we carried out a systematic literature review using the SCOPUS database, searching for articles integrating knowledge in urban planning, remote sensing and ecol...
Wiedermann, M., Smith, E.K., Heitzig, J., Donges, J. et al. 2020. A network-based microfoundation of Granovetter’s threshold model for social tipping. Sci Rep 10, 11202 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-67102-6
Social tipping, where minorities trigger larger populations to engage in collective action, has been suggested as one key aspect in addressing contemporary global challenges. Here, we refine Granovetter’s widely acknowledged theoretical threshold model of collective behavior as a numerical modelling tool for understanding social tipping processes and resolve issues that so far have hindered such applications. Based on real-wor...
Rhodes, J.R., Guerrero, A.M., Bodin, Ö., Chades, I. 2020. Fundamental insights on when social network data are most critical for conservation planning. Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, December 2020, Pages 1463-1472, https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13500
As declines in biodiversity accelerate, there is an urgent imperative to ensure that every dollar spent on conservation counts toward species protection. Systematic conservation planning is a widely used approach to achieve this, but there is growing concern that it must better integrate the human social dimensions of conservation to be effective. Yet, fundamental insights about when social data are most critical to inform con...
Singh, C., Wang-Erlandsson, L., Fetzer, Rockström, J., et.al. 2020. Rootzone storage capacity reveals drought coping strategies along rainforest-savanna transitions. Environ. Res. Lett. 15 124021, https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abc377
Climate change and deforestation have increased the risk of drought-induced forest-to-savanna transitions across the tropics and subtropics. However, the present understanding of forest-savanna transitions is generally focused on the influence of rainfall and fire regime changes, but does not take into account the adaptability of vegetation to droughts by utilizing subsoil moisture in a quantifiable metric. Using rootzone stor...
Brodie Rudolph, T., Ruckelshaus, M., Swilling, M. et al. 2020. A transition to sustainable ocean governance. Nat Commun 11, 3600 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17410-2
Human wellbeing relies on the Biosphere, including natural resources provided by ocean ecosystems. As multiple demands and stressors threaten the ocean, transformative change in ocean governance is required to maintain the contributions of the ocean to people. Here we illustrate how transition theory can be applied to ocean governance. We demonstrate how current economic and social systems can adapt to existing pressures and ...
Wunderling, N., Willeit, M., Donges, J.F. et al. 2020. Global warming due to loss of large ice masses and Arctic summer sea ice. Nat Commun 11, 5177 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18934-3
Several large-scale cryosphere elements such as the Arctic summer sea ice, the mountain glaciers, the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheet have changed substantially during the last century due to anthropogenic global warming. However, the impacts of their possible future disintegration on global mean temperature (GMT) and climate feedbacks have not yet been comprehensively evaluated. Here, we quantify this response using a...
Naidu, P.D., Ganeshram, R., Bollasina, M.A. et al. 2020. Coherent response of the Indian Monsoon Rainfall to Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability over the last 2000 years. Sci Rep 10, 1302 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-58265-3
Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) rainfall has a direct effect on the livelihoods of two billion people in the Indian-subcontinent. Yet, our understanding of the drivers of multi-decadal variability of the ISM is far from being complete. In this context, large-scale forcing of ISM rainfall variability with multi-decadal resolution over the last two millennia is investigated using new records of sea surface salinity (δ 18 Ow) and s...
Renes, S.E., Sjöstedt, J., Fetzer, I. et al. 2020. Disturbance history can increase functional stability in the face of both repeated disturbances of the same type and novel disturbances. Sci Rep 10, 11333 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-68104-0
Climate change is expected to increase the incidences of extremes in environmental conditions. To investigate how repeated disturbances affect microbial ecosystem resistance, natural lake bacterioplankton communities were subjected to repeated temperature disturbances of two intensities (25 °C and 35 °C), and subsequently to an acidification event. We measured functional parameters (bacterial production, abundance, extracellu...
Engström, G., Gars, J., Krishnamurthy, C., Spiro, D., Calel, R. et.al. 2020. Carbon pricing and planetary boundaries. Nat Commun 11, 4688 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-18342-7
Human activities are threatening to push the Earth system beyond its planetary boundaries, risking catastrophic and irreversible global environmental change. Action is urgently needed, yet well-intentioned policies designed to reduce pressure on a single boundary can lead, through economic linkages, to aggravation of other pressures. In particular, the potential policy spillovers from an increase in the global carbon price on...
