We decompose Antarctic sea ice volume (SIV) into dynamic and thermodynamic terms over 2014–2020, using a novel year-round, dual-frequency sea ice thickness product Winter SIV is largely determine...

Sustainability research routinely treats inertia as the obstacle that explains why interventions fail to embed in everyday life. This Perspective argues that what is labelled as inertia is often patte...

Seaweed aquaculture is increasingly promoted within blue economy strategies, but evidence for the Mekong River Delta (MRD), Vietnam, remains fragmented. This PRISMA-informed narrative integrative revi...

The seafood sector faces multiple challenges that threaten its contribution to food security. For developing effective governance strategies in response to those transformations, this study proposes a...

Human–wildlife coexistence increasingly requires approaches that make diverse value perspectives explicit. We introduce the Beaver Futures Framework (BFF), which integrates intrinsic, instrumental, an...

As biodiversity decline continues, there is a critical need to document, monitor, and protect species equitably across the tree of life. However, both scientific research and societal perceptions of b...

Health has become a central term in global sustainability policy, yet it is often used without sufficient conceptual precision. Public health, global health, One Health, EcoHealth, GeoHealth, and Plan...

Ireland’s first female botanist speaks from beyond the archive. Ellen Hutchins discovered twenty species whilst bedridden, created watercolours so precise they settled centuries-old debates a…

Abstract. Organic alkalinity (OrgAlk), the component of total alkalinity (AT) arising from non-inorganic species or uncharacterized bases, introduces error into calculated carbonate system parameters ...

During COVID, tactical urbanism was institutionalized by cities around the world to support cycling. Pop-up bike lanes became the latest representatio…

Scaling up investment in ecosystems is a national and international public policy priority. Evaluations of the total amount spent have been severely criticised, with a lack of transparent reporting, e...

Integrating ecological trap theory and niche construction reveals a specific and underexamined category: self-induced traps, in which an organism’s own construction decouples the cues guiding its choi...

In light of growing mental health challenges globally, understanding the positive impacts of nature on mental wellbeing is more important than ever. However, the impacts of one of the most common inte...

The current ecological crisis asks for system-wide transformation toward more sustainable views, structures and practices. Recognition and integration of the plural ways people value nature, including...

In recent years, nature-based interventions (NBIs) designed to address mental wellbeing and ecological concerns have increased markedly. Yet, evaluating the efficacy of these initiatives—both as a sec...

Climate change is expected to cause latitudinal and elevational shifts in where crops can grow, with major consequences for land use, rural livelihoods and biodiversity. Shifts in agroforestry systems...

The notion of people and nature as intertwined and embedded in the biosphere is gaining traction in contemporary scientific discourses. But what does it mean for a human being to be intertwined? Here,...
