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 ...

Defaunation in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Science, 2014 We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly, human impacts on animal biodiversity are an under-recognized form of global environmental change. Among terrestrial vertebrates, 322 species have become extinct since 1500, and

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.

Obligations in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Law and Critique, 2020 The Anthropocene is a term described by Earth Systems Science to capture the recent rupture in the history of the Earth where human action has acquired the power to alter the Earth System as a whole. While normative conclusions cannot be logically derived from this descriptive fact, this paper argues that law and philosophy ought to develop responses ...

Phosphorus Availability Promotes Bacterial DOC-Mineralization, but Not Cumulative CO2-Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The current trend of increasing input of terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to boreal freshwater systems is causing increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) supersaturation and degassing.

Governing in the Anthropocene: What Future Systems Thinking in Practice? [PDF]
, 2016 The revealing and concealing features of the metaphor ‘earth as Anthropocene’ are explored in an inquiry that asks: In the Anthropocene what possible futures emerge for systems thinking in practice? Framing choice, so important yet so poorly realised, is

On the Anthropocene formalization and the proposal by the Anthropocene Working Group
Geologica Acta, 2020 In the coming years the Anthropocene will be likely submitted to formalization by the Anthropocene Working Group as a chronostratigraphic unit of the Geologic Time Scale.
