The Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve Is Partially Effective in Mitigating Human Pressures
Land, 2021 Protected areas play significant roles in protecting biodiversity by mitigating human activities. As an indicator for human activities, the human footprint (HF) can be used to assess the effectiveness of protected areas. We developed a HF dataset for the

The water footprint of humanity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 This study quantifies and maps the water footprint (WF) of humanity at a high spatial resolution. It reports on consumptive use of rainwater (green WF) and ground and surface water (blue WF) and volumes of water polluted (gray WF). Water footprints are estimated per nation from both a production and consumption perspective.
