Jaramillo, F., N. Cory, B. Arheimer, H. Laudon, Y. van der Velde, T.B. Hasper, C. Teutschbein, J. Uddling. 2018. The effect of northern forest expansion on evapotranspiration overrides that of a possible physiological water saving response to rising CO2: interpretations of movement in Budyko Space. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions doi:10.5194/hess-2017-347
During the last 6 decades, forest biomass has increased in Sweden mainly due to forest management, with a possible increasing effect on evapotranspiration. However, increasing global CO2 concentrations may also trigger physiological water-saving responses in broadleaf tree species, and to a lesser degree in some needleleaf conifer species, inducing an opposite effect. Additionally, changes in other forest attributes may also a...
Dickin, S., L. Dagerskog, A. Jimenez, K. Andersson, K. Savadogo. 2018. Understanding sustained use of ecological sanitation in rural Burkina Faso. Science of The Total Environment doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.08.251.
Access to safe sanitation services is fundamental for healthy and productive lives, but in rural Burkina Faso only around 7% of the population uses improved sanitation. Ecological sanitation (ecosan) systems that allow safe agricultural reuse of nutrients in human waste have been promoted in these areas, as a way to meet sanitation needs while contributing to food security. However, little is known about the success of these i...
Ahlstrom, H., S.E. Cornell. 2018. Governance, polycentricity and the global nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. Environmental Science & Policy doi:10.1016/j.envsci.2017.10.005.
Global change and governance scholars frequently highlight polycentricity as a feature of resilient governance, but both theoretical and empirical knowledge about features and outcomes of the concept are lacking at the global scale. Here we investigate the structural properties of governance of global nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles, two processes in the ‘planetary boundaries’ framework. We have used a mixed-methods app...
W. Barfuss, J.F. Donges, S.J. Lade, J. Kurths. 2018. When optimization for governing human-environment tipping elements is neither sustainable nor safe. Nature Communications [DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04738-z]
Optimizing economic welfare in environmental governance has been criticized for delivering short-term gains at the expense of long-term environmental degradation. Different from economic optimization, the concepts of sustainability and the more recent safe operating space have been used to derive policies in environmental governance. However, a formal comparison between these three policy paradigms is still missing, leaving po...
Svedin, U., Liljenström, H. 2018. A Multilevel Approach to Urban Regional Agglomerations: A Swedish Case of Transition Paths toward a “Fossil-Free Society” by 2050, Urban Agglomeration Mustafa Ergen, IntechOpen, DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.73104. Available from: https://www.intechopen.com/books/urban-agglomeration/a-multilevel-approach-to-urban-regional-agglomerations-a-swedish-case-of-transition-paths-toward-a-f
This article has a focus on the changing patterns of connected urban spaces forming large super-regional aggregates made up of cities of various sizes and regional functions as well as the interconnecting space of much smaller municipalities of agricultural or forestry types of character. The multi-scalar level analysis of these connected clusters is pursued from the level of the individual to the regional, national, Nordic an...

Pinsky, M.L., Reygondeau, G., Caddell, R., Palacios-Abrantes, J., Spijkers, J., William, W.L.C. 2018. Preparing ocean governance for species on the move. Science 15 Jun 2018: Vol. 360, Issue 6394, pp. 1189-1191 DOI: 10.1126/science.aat2360
The ocean is a critical source of nutrition for billions of people, with potential to yield further food, profits, and employment in the future (1). But fisheries face a serious new challenge as climate change drives the ocean to conditions not experienced historically. Local, national, regional, and international fisheries are substantially underprepared for geographic shifts in marine animals driven by climate change over th...

Minohara, A., Cooling, C., and Blasiak, R. 2017. Coastal communities and livelihoods in a changing world: A comparison of the fisheries and aquaculture sector in Matsushima Bay, Japan and the Salish Sea, Canada/USA. In: UNU-IAS and IGES (eds.) 2017, Sustainable livelihoods in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (Satoyama Initiative Thematic Review vol. 3), United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability, Tokyo.
This publication is part of a publication which compiles 11 selected case studies provided by authors belonging to IPSI member organizations and covers experiences from countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, with various socio-political and ecosystem contexts. Authors were asked to identify challenges and opportunities in sustaining livelihoods, social and ecological changes that have occurred and approaches bein...
Barthel, S. Belton, S., Raymond, C., Giusti, M. 2018. Fostering Children’s Connection to Nature Through Authentic Situations: The Case of Saving Salamanders at School. Front. Psychol., 08 June 2018 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00928
The aim of this paper is to explore how children learn to form new relationships with nature. It draws on a longitudinal case study of children participating in a stewardship project involving the conservation of salamanders during the school day in Stockholm, Sweden. The qualitative method includes two waves of data collection: when a group of 10-year-old children participated in the project (2015) and 2 years after they part...

Who owns ocean biodiversity? This is an increasingly relevant question, given the legal uncertainties associated with the use of genetic resources from areas beyond national jurisdiction, which cover half of the Earth’s surface. We accessed 38 million records of genetic sequences associated with patents and created a database of 12,998 sequences extracted from 862 marine species. We identified >1600 sequences from 91 species a...
