Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

Delivering resilience for people and nature in Anthropocene landscapes
Abstract The concept of resilience is widespread in strategies for enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, but, in practice, resilience means different things in different socio‐ecological and policy contexts and to different people. In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of ...

Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...

Abstract Farming systems face an increasing sustainability challenge requiring integrated solutions to minimize the trade‐offs between the social, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainability. Yet, most research remains siloed, limiting interdisciplinary understanding of farming systems as coupled social‐ecological systems (SESs) and precluding

Place attachment and attitudes to landscape change for tree planting and net zero
Abstract To reach net zero by 2050 the Paris Agreement on Climate Change recommended tree cover expansion and tree planting to support Nationally Determined Contributions. We use place attachment in the context of historical events to explore landscape change and attitudes towards tree planting.
