Complex regional telecoupling between people and nature revealed via quantification of trans‐boundary ecosystem service flows

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2022
Quantifying and mapping trans‐boundary ecosystem service (ES) flows can help identify dependencies and responsibilities for promoting economic development and environmental sustainability between nations, but few studies have focused on ES flows beyond ...

Climate change, cattle, and the challenge of sustainability in a telecoupled system in Africa

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2018
Information, energy, and materials are flowing over greater distances than in the past, changing the structure and feedbacks within and across coupled human and natural systems worldwide.

Snowmelt risk telecouplings for irrigated agriculture

open access: yesNature Climate Change, 2022
Climate change is altering the timing and magnitude of snowmelt, which may either directly or indirectly via global trade affect agriculture and livelihoods dependent on snowmelt. Here, we integrate subannual irrigation and snowmelt dynamics and a model of international trade to assess the global redistribution of snowmelt dependencies and risks under ...

Drivers of ecosystem service specialization in a smallholder agricultural landscape of the Global South: a case study in Ethiopia

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2023
The global shift toward agricultural specialization in the 20th century led to unprecedented ecological and socioeconomic changes, both positive and negative, in rural landscapes.

Telecoupled land-use changes in distant countries

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
International food trade has become a key driving force of agricultural land-use changes in trading countries, which has influenced food production and the global environment.

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Exploring the potential of the telecoupling framework for understanding land change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The concept of telecoupling has recently been proposed in Land System Science as an analytical framework to address the increasing importance of distal connections and flows in driving current land use change.

Feedback of telecoupling: the case of a payments for ecosystem services program

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2018
Around the globe, previously isolated rural areas are increasingly connected with other distant places (e.g., cities) by telecouplings (i.e., environmental and socioeconomic interactions over distances) such as payments for ecosystem services (PES ...

Vulnerability to Food Insecurity in a Telecoupled World: Insights From Vanuatu

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Food insecurity is a pressing problem in many regions across the world. Drivers of food insecurity are becoming increasingly embedded in sociocultural and economic processes that transcendent multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Network analysis as a tool for quantifying the dynamics of metacoupled systems: an example using global soybean trade

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2018
The metacoupling framework provides grounds for characterizing interactions within and between coupled human and natural systems, yet few studies quantify the nuances of these systems.
