People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The expansion of grey wolves (Canis lupus) across the western United States, including on public lands used for extensive livestock grazing, requires tools and techniques for reducing wolf–livestock conflict and supporting coexistence. We examined approaches used on forested lands managed by the U.S.

Improving LAI retrieval in complex mountains with implicit mutual terrain irradiance
Trees, Forests and PeopleLeaf area index (LAI), a key indicator of vegetation canopy structure, is vital to regional ecological assessment and environmental monitoring. However, rugged terrain can induce the radiation distortion recorded by senses, thus resulting in substantial ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract High nature value (HNV) pastoral systems, that is those maintained by herding, transhumance and extensive grazing practices, are recognised as cornerstones of European biodiversity, cultural heritage and ecosystem service provision. Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

Human settlements in low lying coastal zones and rugged terrain: data and methodologies [PDF]
, 2016 This document describes the assessment of global terrain data and a procedure to combine terrain data with newly available human settlement data. The aim is to quantify settlements in low-lying coastal zones and in topographically rugged terrain.
