Connecting Marine Ecosystem Services to Human Well-being: Insights from Participatory Well-being Assessment in KenyaAmbio - Tập 42 - Trang 1010-1021 - 2013
Caroline Abunge, Sarah Coulthard, Tim M. Daw
The linkage between ecosystems and human well-being is a focus of the conceptualization of “ecosystem services” as promoted by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. However, the actual nature of connections between ecosystems and the well-being of individuals remains complex and poorly understood. We conducted a series of qualitative focus groups with five different stakeholder groups connected to ...... hiện toàn bộ
Risks to the stratospheric ozone shield in the AnthropoceneAmbio - Tập 50 - Trang 44-48 - 2020
Susan Solomon
Crutzen (1974) and Crutzen and Ehhalt (1977) presented two key papers in Ambio that in Ambioexemplify how science first revealed to humankind the potential for damage to our ozone shield in the Anthropocene. Crutzen’s (1974) review is a sweeping summary of the risks to the ozone layer from supersonic aircraft, chlorofluorocarbons, as well as nuclear weapons testing and nuclear war. Crutzen and Ehh...... hiện toàn bộ
A question of dissemination: Assessing the practices and implications of research in tropical landscapesAmbio - Tập 48 - Trang 35-47 - 2018
Anne H. Toomey, María Eugenia Copa Alvaro, Matthew Aiello-Lammens, Oscar Loayza Cossio, Jos Barlow
Current debates in the conservation sciences argue for better integration between research and practice, often citing the importance of the diffusion, dissemination and implementation of scientific knowledge for environmental management and policy. This paper focuses on a relatively well-researched protected area (Madidi National Park) in Bolivia in order to present different interpretations and u...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies: The need for a more mechanistic approachAmbio - Tập 48 - Trang 1116-1128 - 2018
Marie C. Dade, Matthew G.E. Mitchell, Clive A. McAlpine, Jonathan R. Rhodes
Positive (synergistic) and negative (trade-off) relationships among ecosystem services are influenced by drivers of change, such as policy interventions and environmental variability, and the mechanisms that link these drivers to ecosystem service outcomes. Failure to account for these drivers and mechanisms can result in poorly informed management decisions and reduced ecosystem service provision...... hiện toàn bộ
Plant and Vegetation Dynamics on Disko Island, West Greenland: Snapshots Separated by Over 40 YearsAmbio - Tập 40 - Trang 624-637 - 2011
Terry V. Callaghan, Torben R. Christensen, Elin J. Jantze
We report on a revisit in 2009 to sites where vegetation was recorded in 1967 and 1970 on Disko Island, West Greenland. Re-sampling of the same clones of the grass Phleum alpinum after 39 years showed complete stability in biometrics but dramatic earlier onset of various phenological stages that were not related to changes in population density. In a fell-field community, there was a net species l...... hiện toàn bộ
