Sediment Exchange Across Coastal Barrier Landscapes Alters Ecosystem Extents

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Barrier coastlines and their associated ecosystems are rapidly changing. Barrier islands/spits, marshes, bays, and coastal forests are all thought to be intricately coupled, yet an understanding of how morphologic change in one part of the system affects

Ecosystem extent is a necessary but not sufficient indicator of the state of global forest biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Letters
The Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework lays out an ambitious set of goals and targets aimed at halting and reversing biodiversity loss. The extent of natural ecosystems has been selected as one of a small set of headline indicators against ...

A general meta-ecosystem model to predict ecosystem functions at landscape extents [PDF]

open access: yesEcography, 2021
The integration of ecosystem processes over large spatial extents is critical to predicting whether and how global changes may impact biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Yet, there remains an important gap in meta-ecosystem models to predict multiple functions (e.g., carbon sequestration, elemental cycling, trophic efficiency) across ecosystem types (

Ecosystems and Ordering: Exploring the Extent and Diversity of Ecosystem Governance

open access: yesGlobal Studies Quarterly, 2023
Abstract This article argues that, to grasp how global ordering will be impacted by planetary-level changes, we need to systematically attend to the question of the extent to which and how ecosystems are being governed. Our inquiry builds upon—but extends beyond—the environmental governance measures that have garnered the most scholarly ...
