  The global food system and the climate change regime deal with highly complex natural and social issues. Despite some advances in both systems, the world and its population face existential threats as poverty and hunger are not eradicated, and advers...

• Quantitative Conservation Geography

  Published on December 29, 2021
  Ongoing biodiversity loss represents the erosion of intrinsic value of living nature, reduces the contributions nature provides to people, and undermines efforts to move towards sustainability. We propose the recognition of quantitative conservation ...

• Local And Telecoupling Coordination Degree Model Of Urbanization And The Eco-environment Based On Rs And Gis: A Case Study In The Wuhan Urban Agglomeration

  Published on December 18, 2021
  With the development of globalization, telecoupling (socioeconomic and environmental interactions between distant places) is proposed as a relatively new concept. On this basis, the coupling of urbanization and the ecoenvironment (UE) has a new defin...

• Bidirectional Coupling Between Land-use Change And Desertification In Arid Areas: A Study Contrasting Intracoupling And Telecoupling

  Published on November 24, 2021
  In arid areas, land-use change interacts with desertification through water resources. Since water is flowing, the interaction between land-use change and desertification is not only local, but also regional. Previous studies have focused on the unid...

• Assessing The Vulnerability Of Remittance Networks To Geopolitical Shocks In Countries Of The Former Ussr: An Econometric Analysis

  Published on October 28, 2021
  Remittances are an important source of cash flows for lower-middle income countries, but may also enhance vulnerability to shocks if these financial flows are concentrated among a few sources. We utilize descriptive statistics and panel econometric m...

  Improved understand natural infrastructure's in urban water networks must underpin strategic decision-making to sustainably provide freshwater ecosystem services to global cities.

• Resilience As A Moving Target: An Evaluation Of Last Century Management Strategies In A Dry-edge Maritime Pine Ecosystem

  Published on October 9, 2021
  Forests are intrinsically coupled to human dynamics, both temporally and spatially. This evolution is conditioned by global changes in climatic conditions (teleconnections) and distant socio-economical processes (telecoupling). The main goal of this ...

• Telecoupling Urbanization And Mountain Areas Deforestation Between 2000 And 2020: Evidence From Zhejiang Province, China

  Published on September 23, 2021
  Forest transition theory posits that socioeconomic development in a country or region may cause its forestland to shift from net loss to net gain. However, forest transition may also occur under various policies, resulting in forest gains in some reg...

• Do Biosphere Reserves Bolster Community Resilience In Coupled Human And Natural Systems? Evidence From 5 Case Studies In Spain

  Published on September 21, 2021
  Our research provides evidence that critical junctures in coupled human and natural systems may stimulate the undertaking of sustainability transition actions in biosphere reserves (BRs). Specifically, we explored whether BRs bolster community resili...
