Pohjanmies, T., M. Trivino, E. Le Tortorec, A. Mazziotta, T. Snall, M. Monkkonen. 2017. Impacts of forestry on boreal forests: an ecosystem services perspective. Ambio 46(7): 743-755.
Forests are widely recognized as major providers of ecosystem services, including timber, other forest products, recreation, regulation of water, soil and air quality, and climate change mitigation. Extensive tracts of boreal forests are actively managed for timber production, but actions aimed at increasing timber yields also affect other forest functions and services. Here, we present an overview of the environmental impacts...
Plummer, R., J. Baird, J, D Armitage, Ö Bodin, L. Schultz. 2017. Diagnosing adaptive co-management across multiple cases. Ecology and Society 22(3): 19.
Adaptive comanagement is at an important cross-road: different research paths forward are possible, and a diagnostic approach has been identified as a promising one. Accordingly, we operationalize a diagnostic approach, using a framework, to set a new direction for adaptive comanagement research. We set out three main first-tier variables: antecedents, process, and outcomes, and these main variables are situated within a fourt...
Plummer, R., A. Dzyundzyak, J. Baird, Ö. Bodin, D. Armitage, L. Schultz. 2017. How do environmental governance processes shape evaluation of outcomes by stakeholders? A causal pathways approach. Plos One 12(9): e0185375.
Multi-stakeholder environmental management and governance processes are essential to realize social and ecological outcomes. Participation, collaboration, and learning are emphasized in these processes; to gain insights into how they influence stakeholders’ evaluations of outcomes in relation to management and governance interventions we use a path analysis approach to examine their relationships in individuals in four UNESCO ...
Padmanaban, R., A.K. Bhowmik, P. Cabral, A. Zamyatin, O. Almegdadi, S.G. Wang. 2017. Modelling urban sprawl using remotely sensed data: a case study of Chennai City, Tamilnadu. Entropy 19(4): 163.
Urban sprawl (US), propelled by rapid population growth leads to the shrinkage of productive agricultural lands and pristine forests in the suburban areas and, in turn, adversely affects the provision of ecosystem services. The quantification of US is thus crucial for effective urban planning and environmental management. Like many megacities in fast growing developing countries, Chennai, the capital of Tamilnadu and one of th...
Österblom, H. 2017. Reimagining ocean governance using the keystone species concept. Nature Ecology & Evolution 1(5): 0133.
Olsson, O., J. Hentati-Sundberg. 2017. Population trends and status of four seabird species (Uria aalge, Alca torda, Larus fuscus, Larus argentatus) at Stora Karlsö in the Baltic Sea. Ornis Svecica 27: 64-93.
The island of Stora Karlsö hosts the largest colonies of fish-eating seabirds in the Baltic Sea. However, recent and reliable estimates of the number of breeding pairs of the main species have been missing. Based on a complete census in 2014, we estimated the number of Common Guillemots Uria aalge to 15 700 pairs, more than half (up to 70%) of the Baltic Sea population. The number has almost tripled since the early 1970s and t...
Nykvist, B., S. Borgström, E. Boyd. 2017. Assessing the adaptive capacity of multi-level water governance: ecosystem services under climate change in Mälardalen region, Sweden. Regional Environmental Change 17(8): 2359-2371.
Adaptive and multi-level governance is often called for in order to improve the management of complex issues such as the provision of natural resources and ecosystem services. In this case study, we analyse the contemporary multi-level governance system that manages water resources and its ecosystem services in a fresh water lake in Sweden. We assess the relative importance and barriers of three commonly highlighted components...
Norström, A.V., P. Balvanera, M. Spierenburg, M. Bouamrane. 2017. Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society: knowledge for sustainable stewardship of social-ecological systems. Ecology and Society 22(1): 47.
The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) is an international research program with a focus on social-ecological systems and how we can transform them towards sustainable pathways. PECS has emerged in a time where many advances in sustainability science and practice are being inspired by social-ecological research (Fischer et al. 2015). While work on the interplay between nature and society has a long history and mu...
Mueller-Hansen, F., M.F. Cardoso, E.L. Dalla-Nora, J.F. Donges, J. Heitzig, J. Kurths, K. Thonicke. 2017. A matrix clustering method to explore patterns of land-cover transitions in satellite-derived maps of the Brazilian Amazon. Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics 24(1): 113-123.
Changes in land-use systems in tropical regions, including deforestation, are a key challenge for global sustainability because of their huge impacts on green-house gas emissions, local climate and biodiversity. However, the dynamics of land-use and land-cover change in regions of frontier expansion such as the Brazilian Amazon are not yet well understood because of the complex interplay of ecological and socioeconomic drivers...
Mueller-Hansen, F., M. Schlüter, M. Mas, J.F. Donges, J.J. Kolb, K. Thonicke, J. Heitzig. 2017. Towards representing human behavior and decision making in Earth system models: an overview of techniques and approaches. Earth System Dynamics 8(4): 977-1007.
Today, humans have a critical impact on the Earth system and vice versa, which can generate complex feedback processes between social and ecological dynamics. Integrating human behavior into formal Earth system models (ESMs), however, requires crucial modeling assumptions about actors and their goals, behavioral options, and decision rules, as well as modeling decisions regarding human social interactions and the aggregation o...
