A Hierarchical Framework for Unpacking the Nitrogen Challenge
Abstract To feed the world population while mitigating pressing nitrogen (N) pollution problems, tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing and implementing N‐efficient technologies in crop or livestock production, but limited progress has been made.

China's interprovincial flows of tourism-based cultural ecosystem services and its bundling effects across metacoupled systems [PDF]
In metacoupling anthropocene, the flow of cultural ecosystem services (FCES) can establish intangible connections between human and natural systems, even across vast distances.

A framework for lotic macrosystem research
Abstract We analyze here the nature of research in freshwater macrosystem biology (especially lotic studies) from both conceptual and current research perspectives. The boundaries of permanent and transitional lotic macrosystems from the smallest to largest spatial extents are described. We contrast ecosystem vs.

Data_Sheet_1_The Metacoupling Framework Informs Stream Salmonid Management and Governance.PDF [PDF]
Stream salmonid fisheries are ecologically and socioeconomically important at local to global scales throughout the world. Although these fisheries are interacting systems of biota, habitats, and humans, systematic social-ecological integration across ...

More than ponds amid skyscrapers: Urban fisheries as multiscalar human-natural systems [PDF]
Although social-ecological fisheries research is growing, comparatively little attention is paid to fisheries in urban environments. We aim to address this imbalance, because as cities expand worldwide, we expect urban fisheries to become more widespread

Macrosystems revisited: challenges and successes in a new subdiscipline of ecology
Macrosystems biology research has expanded and evolved over the past decade as the scientific community grapples with ecological issues at regional to continental scales relevant to human interactions within the biosphere. Macrosystems biology builds on established fields of study like population and community ecology, biogeography, and global ...

The evolution of macrosystems biology
In an era of unprecedented human impacts on the planet, macrosystems biology (MSB) was developed to understand ecological patterns and processes within and across spatial and temporal scales. We used machine‐learning and qualitative literature review approaches to evaluate the thematic composition of MSB from articles published since the 2010 creation ...

Macrosystems as metacoupled human and natural systems
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 ...

Synergies and tradeoffs among Sustainable Development Goals across boundaries in a metacoupled world [PDF]
Synergies and tradeoffs among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within specific locations have been widely studied. However, there is little understanding of SDG synergies and tradeoffs across spatial/administrative boundaries ...

Multi‐scale biodiversity drives temporal variability in macrosystems
High temporal variability in environmental conditions, populations, and ecological communities can result in species extinctions and outbreaks of agricultural pests and disease vectors, as well as impact industries dependent on reliable provisioning of ecosystem services. Yet few empirical studies have focused on testing hypotheses about the drivers of
