Impacts of climate adaptation on food production and environmental sustainability across metacoupling systems

npj Sustainable Agriculture
Climate adaptation behaviors can mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on food production and ecological security, yet the complex climate–environment interaction mechanisms remain unclear.

Macrosystems as metacoupled human and natural systems [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 20-29, February 2021., 2021
Macrosystems are integrated human–natural systems, in recognition of the fact that virtually every natural system on Earth influences and is influenced by human activities, even over long distances. It is therefore crucial to incorporate inherent properties of broad‐scale systems, such as human–nature connectivity and feedbacks at multi‐scales, into ...

The metacoupled Arctic: Human-nature interactions across local to global scales as drivers of sustainability. [PDF]

Ambio, 2022
AbstractThe Arctic is an epicenter of complex environmental and socioeconomic change. Strengthened connections between Arctic and non-Arctic systems could threaten or enhance Arctic sustainability, but studies of external influences on the Arctic are scattered and fragmented in academic literature. Here, we review and synthesize how external influences

A Metacoupling Framework for Exploring Transboundary Watershed Management [PDF]

Sustainability, 2020
Water is crucial for ecosystem health and socioeconomic development, but water scarcity is becoming a global concern. Management of transboundary watersheds is inherently challenging and has the potential to lead to conflict over the allocation of water resources.

Impacts of irrigated agriculture on food-energy-water-CO₂ nexus across metacoupled systems. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2020
AbstractIrrigated agriculture has important implications for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative analyses of its impacts on food–energy–water–CO2 nexus. Here we studied impacts of irrigated agriculture on food–energy–water–CO2 nexus across food sending systems (the North ...

Broader applicability of the metacoupling framework than Tobler’s first law of geography for global sustainability: A systematic review

Geography and Sustainability, 2023
Complex sustainability issues in the Anthropocene, with rapid globalization and global environmental changes, are increasingly interlinked between not only nearby systems but also distant systems. Tobler’s first law of geography (TFL) states “near things

Transboundary flows in the metacoupled Anthropocene: typology, methods, and governance for global sustainability

Ecology and Society, 2023
The world has become increasingly metacoupled through flows of materials, energy, people, capital, and information within and across systems. Transboundary flows, connecting adjacent and distant systems, are deemed the most critical indicators for ...

Engineering Pt Single-Atom Doped SeS₂/Ti₃CNT_x MXene with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Precision Pancreatic Cancer Diagnostics: DFT and Molecular Dynamics Perspectives. [PDF]

Small Methods
A novel approach is developed to pancreatic cancer screening by targeting the cyclophili‐B (CypB)protein using a molecularly imprinted polymer with the electrode material containing Pt single‐atom‐doped/SeS2‐Ti3CNTx MXene. The quantification of CypB in pancreatic cancer tissues provide an insight into the association of CypB with pancreatic cancer ...
