Anthropocene

Matter: Journal of New Materialist Research, 2022
The “Anthropocene” is a term used to mark a period of history where humans have become the dominant force in the transformation of the Earth system. Humans are fundamentally altering the Earth system through processes with potentially catastrophic consequences, such as anthropogenic climate change, ocean acidification, biodiversity loss, mass ...

Areas of Outstanding Nineteenth Century Beauty: Historic landscape characterisation analysis of protected areas in England

People and Nature, 2023
Establishing and expanding protected areas (PAs) has become a key conservation tool in efforts to halt global declines in biodiversity. Given the ubiquity of past and present human influence, PAs inevitably include landscapes and seascapes with varying ...

FAR‐sighted conservation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Conservation targets that reference historical expectations, such as maintaining specified areas of intact ecosystems, restoring degraded ones or maintaining the historic distributions of species, may not be realistic in the context of ongoing ...

Building a Practical Multi-Sensor Platform for Monitoring Vessel Activity near Marine Protected Areas: Case Studies from Urban and Remote Locations

Remote Sensing, 2023
Monitoring vessel activity is an important part of managing marine protected areas (MPAs), but small-scale fishing and recreational vessels that do not participate in cooperative vessel traffic systems require additional monitoring strategies.

The Limits of Anthropocene Narratives [PDF]

, 2020
The rapidly growing transdisciplinary enthusiasm about developing new kinds of Anthropocene stories is based on the shared assumption that the Anthropocene predicament is best made sense of by narrative means. Against this assumption, this article argues

Trajectories of freshwater microbial genomics and greenhouse gas saturation upon glacial retreat

Nature Communications, 2023
Due to climate warming, ice sheets around the world are losing mass, contributing to changes across terrestrial landscapes on decadal time spans. However, landscape repercussions on climate are poorly constrained mostly due to limited knowledge on ...

Translating area-based conservation pledges into efficient biodiversity protection outcomes

Communications Biology, 2021
Cunningham et al. comment on the U.K.’s commitment to protect 30% of land by 2030, by identifying priority landscapes for expansion of the current protected area network in the UK using 445 priority species ranges across the country, under two baseline ...

Reduced effective radiative forcing from cloud–aerosol interactions (ERF_aci) with improved treatment of early aerosol growth in an Earth system model [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Historically, aerosols of anthropogenic origin have offset some of the warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The strength of this negative aerosol forcing, however, is highly uncertain – especially the part originating from ...
