Governing flows in telecoupled land systems
Published on June 3, 2019
The increasing global interconnectivity influencing land system changebringswith it newchallengesforland-system science.We evaluate whether recentland-system science (LSS) research into telecoupling provides a basis to set normative goals or priorities -
Developing precipitation- and groundwater-corrected stream temperature models to improve brook charr management amid climate change
Published on May 30, 2019
Conserving coldwater stream ecosystems in a warming world requires understanding how water temperature changes will affect the sustainability of coldwater fish populations such as brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis). To date, many models for predicting st -
Headwater Streams and Wetlands are Critical for Sustaining Fish, Fisheries, and Ecosystem Services
Published on May 29, 2019
Headwater streams and wetlands are integral components of watersheds that are critical for biodiversity, fisheries, ecosystem functions, natural resource-based economies, and human society and culture. -
SUSTAINABILITY - Telecoupled Food Trade Affects Pericoupled Trade and Intracoupled Production
Published on May 22, 2019
The extent to which the telecoupled food trade affected the pericoupled trade and intracoupled processes holds implications for the true extent of production driven by distant demands. -
Eco-certification protocols as mechanisms to foster sustainable environmental practices in telecoupled systems
Published on May 20, 2019
This paper uses the telecoupling framework to investigate how distant systems are connected through flows of eco-certified forestry products and demonstrates how these connections drive environmental law compliance at the rural property level. -
JOURNAL OF TRAVEL RESEARCH - International Tourism Dynamics in a Globalized World: A Social Network Analysis Approach
Published on May 16, 2019
Global tourism networks have become highly consolidated over time and that reduced transaction costs (e.g., language, distance, and visa policies) are more important in attracting international tourists than natural and cultural attractions. -
Effectiveness of China's protected areas in reducing deforestation
Published on May 7, 2019
Our findings highlight the need of systematically evaluating the effectiveness of PAs and incorporating this effectiveness into conservation planning and management to more fully realize the goals of PAs not only in China but also around the world. -
EXPLORING LAND USE CHANGE IN A GLOBALISED WORLD (Book chapter) What is Telecoupling?
Published on May 5, 2019
Book chapter -- preview of first 20 pages -
CURRENT OPINION IN ENVIRO SUSTAINABILITY - Governing flows in telecoupled land systems
Published on May 1, 2019
We evaluate whether recent land-system science research into telecoupling provides a basis to set normative goals or priorities for addressing sustainability in coupled human-natural systems. -
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT - Assessing the water and carbon footprint of hydropower stations at a national scale
Published on April 22, 2019
Water and CO2 footprint of hydropower have not been studied simultaneously at a large scale. We firstly assess water and CO2 foot- print of China's hydropower at a national scale. -
ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS - Guidance for assessing interregional ecosystem service flows
Published on April 14, 2019
We compile different indicators for assessing interregional ES flows and evaluate their suitability for national and regional ES assessments. -
Spatial-temporal assessment of water footprint, water scarcity and crop water productivity in a major crop production region
Published on April 2, 2019
This study has implications for revealing potential unsustainable conditions in irrigated agriculture worldwide. -
SUSTAINABILITY -- The Role of Citizen Science in Conservation under the Telecoupling Framework
Published on April 2, 2019
We use the monarch butterfly, a migratory species of high conservation value, to illustrate how citizen science data can be utilized in telecoupling research to help inform conservation decisions. -
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT - Interactive National Virtual Water-Energy Nexus Networks
Published on March 29, 2019
We constructed and analyzed interprovincial virtual water and energy transfer networks, using China (the largest energy consumer and is undergoing severe water scarcity) as a demonstration. -
APPLIED ENERGY - Shift in a national virtual energy network
Published on March 21, 2019
The total virtual energy transferred from energy scarce to energy-abundant provinces increased from 43.2% to 47.5% from 2007 to 2012. -
SUSTAINABILITY -- Telecoupling Research: The First Five Years
Published on February 21, 2019
A systematic review of the first five years of telecoupling research to evaluate the state of telecoupling science and identify strengths, areas to be improved, and promising avenues for future study. -
Threats to freshwater fisheries in the United States: perspectives and investments of state fisheries administrators and Agricultural Experiment Station directors
Published on February 3, 2019
Our purpose was to survey fisheries administrators from state fisheries agencies and Agricultural Experiment Stations (AESs) about their perceptions of, and resource investment toward, threats to freshwater fisheries in the United States. -
The changing face of Great Lakes fisheries
Published on February 3, 2019
In this paper, we discuss the environmental, cultural, and socioeconomic changes that have characterized the Great Lakes, and we share our perspectives and personal stories about the impacts of these changes. -
Effects of the 2011 Missouri River flood on walleye natal recruitment and habitat use in Lake Sharpe, South Dakota
Published on February 3, 2019
Our results show the resilience of the Lake Sharpe walleye population to a catastrophic flood, providing fisheries professionals with an approach for quantifying flood effects on natal recruitment and developing spatially informed management approaches. -
Evolution of multiple global virtual material flows
Published on January 1, 2019
To address this knowledge gap, we assessed the evolution and interactions of global flows of virtual water, energy, land, CO2, nitrogen as well as financial capital embodied in international trade from 1995 to 2008.
