The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) was established in 2011, is now one of the major international social-ecological systems (SES) research networks. During this time, SES has undergone a phase rapid growth grown into an influential branch sustainability science. In Perspective, we argue that also deepened over past decade, helped to shed light key dimensions dynamics (e.g. system feedbacks, aspects design, goals paradigms) can lead tangible action for solving challenges our...
Abstract Subsistence farmers with high dependency on natural resources are exceptionally vulnerable to rainfall changes. Besides, they in the front row when it comes observing these Studies that systematically investigate similarities and differences between measured perceived changes typically limited trends amounts, thereby disregarding extreme events, rainy season durations, timing. We address this gap by contrasting subsistence Ethiopian highlands meteorological daily data derived from...
Abstract In the past 15 years, research activities focusing on interlinkages between climate change and human mobility have intensified. At same time, an increasing number of actors processes sought to address in context from a policy perspective. Hitherto, has been limited terms geographical preferences as well conceptual methodological focus areas. This paper argues that evolving space, future needs become more differentiated, integrated generalized. includes concerted efforts better...
The influence of environmental change on human migration is complex. Despite major strides in understanding the environment's role processes, uncertainties associated with multi-scale factor interactions and their still persist. This study aims to (a) understand how soil degradation rainfall changes – combination socio-economic factors northern Ethiopian highlands contribute decisions migrate; (b) identify barriers for adopting local policy measures reduce needs. Therefore, we integrate...
Geospatial data are fundamental in most global-change and sustainability-related domains. However, readily accessible information on quality provenance is often missing or hardly for users due to technical perceptual barriers, example, unstructured metadata references. Within an interdisciplinary process encompassing perspectives of users, producers, software developers, we identified major needs facilitate effective fitness-for-use assessments by developed approaches address these. We...
Place-based research faces multiple threats, including both natural and global health hazards political conflicts, which may disrupt fieldwork. The current COVID-19 pandemic shows how these threats can drastically affect social-ecological activities given its engagement with different local stakeholders, disciplines, knowledge systems. crisis reveals the need for adaptive designs while also providing an opportunity a structural shift towards more sustainable inclusive landscape.
ABSTRACT The crucial role of stone pavements in arid environments for aeolian or alluvial processes and as numerical dating tools is increasingly acknowledged. This based on the assumption that are stable landforms, formed gradually over time predominantly by vertical processes. However, this challenged evidence stone‐pavement clast reworking burial. Bimodal, mostly slope aspect‐symmetrical orientation a frequent phenomenon various study areas. It implies may be influenced unidirectional...
Forest decline and degradation are particularly high in the tropics pose a risk to those who depend on forest resources.The in-migration of smallholders frontiers can fuel transitions livelihoods land resource use.However, conditions under which contributes such remain poorly understood.With this study, we aim investigate influence in-migration, together with other non-demographic factors, local migrant communities.As case chose Guraferda district, hotspot rural loss southwest Ethiopia,...
Linkages between environmental change and migration can be reciprocal: declining conditions trigger people to leave a place, while the movement of certain places have implications for natural environment may enhance conflict risks. Although growing body research has enriched our knowledge on these two main directions influence, including role conflict, dynamic linkages out-migration degradation through in-migration is virtually lacking. To fill this gap, we developed conceptual framework...
