Climate variability is amongst an array of threats facing agricultural livelihoods, with its effects unevenly distributed. With resource conflict being increasingly recognised as one significant outcome of climate variability and change, un...
Dynamics and determinants of land change in India: integrating satellite data with village socioeconomics [0.03%]
印度土地变化的动力及决定因素:结合卫星数据与村庄社会经济状况

Prasanth Meiyappan et al.
We examine the dynamics and spatial determinants of land change in India by integrating decadal land cover maps (1985-1995-2005) from a wall-to-wall analysis of Landsat images with spatiotemporal socioeconomic database for ~630,000 villages...
The interplay between structural flood protection, population density, and flood mortality along the Jamuna River, Bangladesh [0.03%]
关于贾木纳河沿岸防洪工程、人口密度和洪水死亡率之间的相互作用:以孟加拉国为例

Levees protect floodplain areas from frequent flooding, but they can paradoxically contribute to more severe flood losses. The construction or reinforcement of levees can attract more assets and people in flood-prone area, thereby increasin...
Uncovering blind spots in urban carbon management: the role of consumption-based carbon accounting in Bristol, UK [0.03%]
发现城市碳管理的盲点:英国布里斯托市基于消费的碳核算的作用
Joel Millward-Hopkins,Andrew Gouldson,Kate Scott et al.
Joel Millward-Hopkins et al.
The rapid urbanisation of the twentieth century, along with the spread of high-consumption urban lifestyles, has led to cities becoming the dominant drivers of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing these impacts is crucial...
Developing drought resilience in irrigated agriculture in the face of increasing water scarcity [0.03%]

The major challenges of improving food security and biodiversity conservation are intricately linked. To date, the intersection of food security and biodiversity conservation has been viewed primarily through an agricultural "production len...
The social and scientific values that shape national climate scenarios: a comparison of the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK [0.03%]
塑造国家级气候情景的社会和科学价值:以荷兰、瑞士和英国为例比较分析
Maurice Skelton,James J Porter,Suraje Dessai et al.
Maurice Skelton et al.
This paper seeks to understand why climate information is produced differently from country to country. To do this, we critically examined and compared the social and scientific values that shaped the production of three national climate sc...
Using land use/land cover trajectories to uncover ecosystem service patterns across the Alps [0.03%]
基于土地利用变化的生态系统服务格局分析——以阿尔卑斯山为例
Lukas Egarter Vigl,Erich Tasser,Uta Schirpke et al.
Lukas Egarter Vigl et al.
Managing multiple ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes is a challenging task, especially in regions with complex topographical and agro-ecological conditions. These challenges require ES assessment approaches that go beyond th...

This paper investigates if climate change skepticism, farmers' fatalistic beliefs, and insurance plan design influence interest in crop weather insurance. While studies of the influence of fatalism on disaster preparedness are common, the w...
Historical trajectories in land use pattern and grassland ecosystem services in two European alpine landscapes [0.03%]
欧洲两个山地景观中土地利用模式和草地生态系统服务的演变轨迹
Sandra Lavorel,Karl Grigulis,Georg Leitinger et al.
Sandra Lavorel et al.
Land use and spatial patterns which reflect social-ecological legacies control ecosystem service (ES) supply. Yet, temporal changes in ES bundles associated with land use change are little studied. We developed original metrics to quantify ...
