Reflections on a vulnerability framework for science
Published on July 26, 2023
The first vulnerability framework for sustainability science was published about two decades ago. It embedded vulnerability analysis into the foundational lens of sustainability and resilience research - the social-environmental system (SES) - and ca... -
Telecoupling Indirect Ecological Impacts Of Urban Expansion In China From The Perspective Of The Food Trade
Published on July 21, 2023
A comprehensive evaluation of the ecological cost of urban expansion is crucial for preventing ecosystem degradation and improving ecosystem governance. However, the indirect impacts of urban expansion through cropland displacement are grossly undere... -
Perspective: sustainability challenges, opportunities and solutions for long-term ecosystem observations
Published on July 17, 2023
As interest in natural capital grows and society increasingly recognizes the value of biodiversity, we must discuss how ecosystem observations to detect changes in biodiversity can be sustained through collaboration across regions and sectors. Howeve... -
Agroecological Transitions To Sustainability And Biosphere Reserves

The links between climate change, fragility, and conflict have received growing attention over the past decade. Yet, the theory and analysis underlying conflict-sensitive practice has not figured significantly in these developments, thus limiting eff... -
The Heterogeneity of Ecosystem Services across the Riverine Landscape of the Koshi River Basin, Nepal
Published on July 3, 2023
A foundational tenet of the ecosystem services concept is that they arise from biophysical processes. Riverine landscapes are process-response systems where river flow and geomorphology generate a heterogeneous physical template that influences ecolo... -
