Emergent vulnerability to climate-driven disturbances in European forests

Nature Communications, 2021
Forest disturbance regimes are expected to intensify as Earth’s climate changes. Quantifying forest vulnerability to disturbances and understanding the underlying mechanisms is crucial to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies.

A measure of vulnerability [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica, 2002
Abstract. The article, based on an extensive field study carried out from 1995–1998 in a South Indian village, is concerned with the question of how vulnerable people can be identified and targeted. By focusing on the most important activity areas in the study village, i.e.

Vulnerability and vulnerable groups from an intersectionality perspective

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2020
In general, the identification and protection of vulnerable groups in the case of hazards or when a crisis unfolds is an issue that any crisis and disaster risk management should address, since people have different levels of exposure to hazards and crises. In this article, we promote the application of the intersectionality perspective in the study of

Seasonal dynamics of soil CO2 emissions from different semi-arid land-use systems

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes are a critical component in understanding carbon sequestration. In sub-Saharan Africa, empirically measured CO2 emissions data from diverse land-use systems is limited. Soil CO2 emission rates were measured in the Limpopo

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
