  • Spillover systems in a telecoupled Anthropocene: typology, methods, and governance for global sustainability

    Published on May 9, 2018
    The world has become increasingly telecoupled through distant flows of information, energy, people, organisms, goods, and matter

  • PNAS -- Importing food damages domestic environment: Evidence from global soybean trade

    Published on May 4, 2018
    Our study shows that international food trade can also lead to environmental pollution in importing countries.

  • Innovation diffusion within large environmental NGOs through informal network agents

    Published on April 20, 2018
    We conducted a network experiment to estimate the role of informal boundary spanners—individuals who cross internal organizational boundaries via their informal social networks—for diffusing innovations in a large ENGO.

  • Global cropping intensity gaps: Increasing food production without cropland expansion

    Published on March 28, 2018
    To feed the world’s growing population, more food needs to be produced using currently available cropland

  • Revealing pathways from payments for ecosystem services to socioeconomic outcomes

    Published on March 22, 2018
    Payments for ecosystem services (PES) programs have been widely implemented as a promising tool to conserve ecosystems while facilitating socioeconomic development

  • Interregional flows of ecosystem services: Concepts, typology and four cases

    Published on February 21, 2018
    Conserving and managing global natural capital requires an understanding of the complexity of flows of ecosystem services across geographic boundaries

  • Otolith chemistry as a fisheries management tool after flooding: the case of Missouri River gizzard shad

    Published on February 11, 2018
    We used otolith chemistry to quantify Hipple Lake’s natal contribution to Lake Sharpe’s gizzard shad population and forecast effects of connectivity loss on the reservoir’s socioeconomically important walleye fishery.

  • Predicting habitat suitability for eleven imperiled fluvial freshwater mussels

    Published on February 6, 2018
    Understanding patterns in freshwater mussel distributions and habitat use, particularly for imperiled species, is critical for their conservation

  • Cropping System Conversion led to Organic Carbon Change in China's Mollisols Regions

    Published on January 28, 2018
    Land use change driven by diet, globalization, and technology advancement have greatly influenced agricultural production and environment in the mollisols region of China

  • Uncertainty of future projections of species distributions in mountainous regions

    Published on January 22, 2018
    Multiple factors introduce uncertainty into projections of species distributions under climate change. The uncertainty introduced by the choice of baseline climate information

  • Effects of grain size and niche breadth on species distribution modeling

    Published on December 27, 2017
    This study investigate the effect of grain size and niche breadth on SDMs.

  • Peruvian anchoveta as a telecoupled fisheries system

    Published on December 21, 2017
    As economic and ideational globalization accelerate, fisheries are becoming more globally connected via movements of fish products and fisheries finances, information, and stakeholders throughout the world.

  • Does one size fit all? A multispecies approach to regional landscape corridor planning

    Published on December 21, 2017
    We quantitatively evaluated habitat suitability of a single umbrella species, giant panda; habitat suitability of sympatric mammals; and the potential effectiveness of the planning to preserve suitable habitat and its connectivity of other focal species.

  • Nature reserve requirements for landscape-dependent ungulates: The case of endangered takin (Budorcas taxicolor) in Southwestern China

    Published on December 21, 2017
    To determine the key landscape characteristics of the endangered takin (Budorcas taxicolor), we systematically surveyed for their occurrence in the Northern MinShan Mountains, China, during 2010–2011.

  • Evaluating Landscape Options for Corridor Restoration between Giant Panda Reserves

    Published on December 21, 2017
    Our study suggested that in this landscape, automobile tunnels are the best means to remove current barriers to giant panda movements caused by anthropogenic interferences.

  • Assessing the utility of otolith chemistry for management of six freshwater fishes from a river-reservoir system

    Published on December 14, 2017
    Although floodplain habitats are important for fish production and recruitment, their natal contributions may vary by species, a topic that has not been thoroughly investigated in large floodplain rivers.

  • Species- and habitat-specific otolith chemistry patterns inform riverine fisheries management

    Published on December 14, 2017
    The goal of this study was to develop a predictive methodology for using species and habitat identity to design efficient otolith chemistry studies.

  • The Recovery Processes of Giant Panda Habitat in Wolong Nature Reserve, Sichuan China (Chinese)

    Published on December 6, 2017
    According to this study, the artificially planted habitat was neither an efficient approach for the bamboo resources recovery nor for the vegetation community recovery.

  • ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Integration across a metacoupled world

    Published on November 26, 2017
    This paper presents an integrated framework of metacoupling: human-nature interactions within a system (intracoupling), between distant systems (telecoupling), and between adjacent systems (pericoupling).

  • Spatio-temporal characteristics of the trade-off and synergy relationships among multiple ecosystem services in the Upper Reaches of Hanjiang River Basin

    Published on November 16, 2017
    In this paper, we mapped the ecosystem service of soil conservation, net primary production and water yield in the upper reaches of Hanjiang River Basin based on the land use and land cover.
