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 ...

A global meta-analysis of soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene
Nature Communications, 2023 Anthropogenic activities profoundly impact soil organic carbon (SOC), affecting its contribution to ecosystem services such as climate regulation. Here, we conducted a thorough review of the impacts of land-use change, land management, and climate change

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 (ERFaci) 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 ...

Our future in the Anthropocene biosphere
Ambio, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed an interconnected and tightly coupled globalized world in rapid change. This article sets the scientific stage for understanding and responding to such change for global sustainability and resilient societies. We provide

Inequitable patterns of US flood risk in the Anthropocene
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 ...

Drivers and variability of CO2:O2 saturation along a gradient from boreal to Arctic lakes
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lakes are significant players for the global climate since they sequester terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and emit greenhouse gases like CO2 to the atmosphere.
