• Capabilities Under Telecoupling: Human Well-being Between Cash Crops And Protected Areas In North-eastern Madagascar

  Published on February 17, 2020
  Global change processes are increasing their pace and reach, leading to telecoupled situations, where distant factors come to outpace local determinants of land use change. Often, these dynamics drive agricultural intensification processes, with as y...

• Large Greenhouse Gas Savings Due To Changes In The Post-soviet Food Systems

  Published on February 7, 2020
  As the global food system contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, understanding the sources of GHG emissions embodied in different components of food systems is important. The collapse of the Soviet Union triggered a massi...

• Telecoupling Analysis Of The Patagonian Shelf: A New Approach To Study Global Seabird-fisheries Interactions To Achieve Sustainability

  Published on February 5, 2020
  The Southwest Atlantic Ocean, particularly the extended Patagonian Shelf, constitutes a complex, globally-relevant ecosystem. It is a highly productive area, and it maintains a high diversity and abundance of seabird species. At the same time, the Pa...

• Direct And Indirect Land-use Change Caused By Large-scale Land Acquisitions In Cambodia

  Published on February 1, 2020
  Large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) have received considerable scholarly attention over the last decade, and progress has been made towards quantifying their direct impacts. There is also a growing recognition of the importance of indirect effects ...

• Land-use Changes In Distant Places: Implementation Of A Telecoupled Agent-based Model

  Published on January 31, 2020
  International agricultural trade has changed land uses in trading countries, altering global food security and environmental sustainability. Studies have concluded that local land-use drivers are largely from global sources (e.g., trade increases def...

• JASSS - Land-Use Changes in Distant Places: Implementation of a Telecoupled Agent-Based Model

  Published on January 31, 2020
  We construct a new type of agent-based model (ABM) that can simulate land-use changes at multiple distant places (namely TeleABM, telecoupled agent-based model).

• Telecoupling Through Tomato Trade: What Consumers Do Not Know About The Tomato On Their Plate

  Published on January 1, 2020
  Non-technical abstractA large share of our food comes from international supply food chains that are difficult to trace. Therefore, consumers are not aware of their environmental and social effects. We analysed the tomato supply system for Germany. T...

• Using The Telecoupling Framework To Improve Great Lakes Fisheries Sustainability

  Published on December 19, 2019
  Fisheries are coupled human and natural systems across space and time, involving movements of fish, money, and information in a globalized world. However, these social-ecological interactions over local to global scales are largely absent from the fi...

• AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM HEALTH & MGT - Using the telecoupling framework to improve Great Lakes fisheries sustainability

  Published on December 2, 2019
  Understanding the causes and consequences of complex social-ecological fisheries interactions and develop informed strategies for sustainable fisheries management and governance

• Linking Global Drivers Of Agricultural Trade To On-the-ground Impacts On Biodiversity

  Published on November 25, 2019
  Consumption of globally traded agricultural commodities like soy and palm oil is one of the primary causes of deforestation and biodiversity loss in some of the world's most species-rich ecosystems. However, the complexity of global supply chains has...

• Tightening Ecological Management Facilitates Green Development In The Qilian Mountains

  Published on November 25, 2019
  The Qilian Mountains Scientific Expedition was launched under the framework of the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition Program after tightening eco-environmental management in the Qilian Mountains. The expedition focused on three key areas: ...

• Land-use Changes Across Distant Places: Design Of A Telecoupled Agent-based Model

  Published on November 20, 2019
  Land-use changes across distant places are increasingly affected by international agricultural trade, but most of the impacts and feedback remain unknown. The telecoupling framework - an analytical tool for examining socioeconomic and environmental i...

• JOURNAL OF LAND USE SCIENCE - Land-use changes across distant places: design of a telecoupled agent-based model

  Published on November 18, 2019
  We apply the framework to design an agent-based model (TeleABM) that represents land-use changes in telecoupled systems to investigate how local land-use changes are affected by flows. The Brazil–China telecoupled soybean system is used as a demonstration.

• European Green Capitals: Branding, Spatial Dislocation Or Catalysts For Change?

  Published on October 4, 2019
  The European Green Capital (EGC) award has become a familiar feature in a polycentric sustainability governance landscape increasingly characterized by fragmentation and voluntary initiatives. Unclear accountability for translocal connections renders...

• A Synthesis Of Opportunities For Applying The Telecoupling Framework To Marine Protected Areas
