Late Quaternary climate legacies in contemporary plant functional composition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The functional composition of plant communities is commonly thought to be determined by contemporary climate. However, if rates of climate‐driven immigration and/or exclusion of species are slow, then contemporary functional composition may be explained ...

Complex effects of telecouplings on forest dynamics:An agent-based modeling approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Rural areas are increasingly subject to the effects of telecouplings (socioeconomic and environmental inter- actions over distances) whereby their human and natural dynamics are linked to socioeconomic and environmental drivers operating far away ...

Transformation of social‐ecological systems in the Songhua River Basin, Northeast China: Lessons for a more sustainable development

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1749-1768, July 2025.
Abstract Social‐ecological systems (SES) are coupled systems formed by the intricate interactions between humans and nature. Our movement towards sustainable lifestyles requires a robust understanding of these interactions. Achieving a sustainable win‐win situation for both social and ecological systems, therefore, necessitates a sound scientific ...
