Increasing efficiency in ethanol production: Water footprint and economic productivity of sugarcane ethanol under nine different water regimes in north-eastern Brazil

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
Ethanol production in Brazil has grown by 219% between 2001 and 2012, increasing the use of land and water resources. In the semi-arid north-eastern Brazil, irrigation is the main way for improving sugarcane production.

Comparing screening outcomes for private sector nature‐related assessments based on national and global biodiversity datasets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to demand for better biodiversity stewardship from the private sector, frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have been developed to help companies assess, manage, and disclose their nature‐related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.

Climate Change Impacts on Mediterranean Grassland Productivity Along a Climatic Gradient in Central Spain: An Ecohydrological Modeling Approach

Agronomy
Mediterranean grasslands are highly sensitive to climate variability because their productivity is strongly constrained by water availability. Understanding how future climate change may affect forage production across hydroclimatic gradients is ...

Risk reduction, rangeland use, and the future of human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to reduce livestock losses to large carnivores are widely regarded as essential for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Predator‐proof enclosures, compensation programs, improved livestock guarding, and real‐time predator alert systems can reduce depredation and retaliatory killing while enhancing pastoralist livelihoods.

A framework for integrating resilience indicators into risk assessments

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human pressures, yet ecosystem risk assessments predominantly emphasize exposure to stressors while overlooking intrinsic ecosystem resilience—the capacity to absorb and recover from disturbances.

Conceptual framework for the implementation of the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration metric's threat abatement component

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract One important goal of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) aims to halt extinction of species and reduce extinction risk 10‐fold by 2050. To help ensure that the actions taken under the targets of the KMGBF contribute to reducing species’ extinction risk, the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric was ...

A review of country ambition in targeting important areas for biodiversity under the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Targets 1 and 3 of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) require actions to focus on areas of importance for biodiversity—a prerequisite for reversing biodiversity loss and halting human‐induced extinctions as set out in the Mission and Goals of the KMGBF.
