Review of gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnic background considerations reported in active school travel intervention studies (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction: Trends over the last half century have shown that fewer children today are engaging in active modes of travel to and from school than in previous generations. Interventions promoting active school travel (AST) can be effective at revers...

Simulating land use changes, sediment yields, and pesticide use in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation of the Pantanal wetland (2021)
Journal Article

As a consequence of accelerated and excessive use of pesticides in tropical regions, wilderness areas are under threat; this includes the Pantanal wetlands in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB). Using a Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) modelling...

Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales (2021)
Journal Article

Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by sets of traits (trait syndr...

Vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change: multi-level analysis in the context of Pakistan (2021)
Journal Article

This paper explores physical, psychological, social, and institutional vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change. Based on review of interdisciplinary research in the context of Pakistan, this paper reviews the releva...

Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient (2021)
Journal Article

Positive plant-plant interactions are thought to drive vegetation patterns in harsh environments, such as semi-arid areas. According to the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH), the role of positive interactions between species (facilitation) is expected... Read More about Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient.

Visible and invisible risks: Exploring washing and hygiene practices with women living on low income in Kenya (2021)
Journal Article

Shifting environmental conditions and poor or insufficient hygiene facilitates the transmission of bacteria and viruses between and within species of animals; between humans; and between humans and animals. Taking a One Health perspective, we used in... Read More about Visible and invisible risks: Exploring washing and hygiene practices with women living on low income in Kenya.

Growing evidence of the interconnections between modern slavery, environmental degradation, and climate change (2021)
Journal Article

The modern slavery–environmental degradation–climate change nexus may threaten the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Globally, approximately 12.2 million workers are entrapped in modern slavery in environmentally degrading acti... Read More about Growing evidence of the interconnections between modern slavery, environmental degradation, and climate change.

Uncertainty of simulated groundwater recharge at different global warming levels: A global-scale multi-model ensemble study (2021)
Journal Article

Billions of people rely on groundwater as being an accessible source of drinking water and for irrigation, especially in times of drought. Its importance will likely increase with a changing climate. It is still unclear, however, how climate change w... Read More about Uncertainty of simulated groundwater recharge at different global warming levels: A global-scale multi-model ensemble study.

Remote sensing liana infestation in an aseasonal tropical forest: addressing mismatch in spatial units of analyses (2021)
Journal Article

The ability to accurately assess liana (woody vine) infestation at the landscape level is essential to quantify their impact on carbon dynamics and help inform targeted forest management and conservation action. Remote sensing techniques provide pote... Read More about Remote sensing liana infestation in an aseasonal tropical forest: addressing mismatch in spatial units of analyses.

Patterns of aeolian deposition in subtropical Australia through the last glacial and deglacial periods (2021)
Journal Article

Debate about the nature of climate and the magnitude of ecological change across Australia during the last glacial maximum (LGM; 26.5-19 ka) persists despite considerable research into the late Pleistocene. This is partly due to a lack of detailed pa... Read More about Patterns of aeolian deposition in subtropical Australia through the last glacial and deglacial periods.

Priorities for social science and humanities research on the challenges of moving beyond animal-based food systems (2021)
Journal Article

Increasingly high-profile research is being undertaken into the socio-environmental challenges associated with the over-production and consumption of food from animals. Transforming food systems to mitigate climate change and hidden hunger, ensure fo...

Meningococcal Meningitis and Coal Mining in Provincial England: Geographical Perspectives on a Major Epidemic, 1929-33 (2021)
Journal Article

This paper presents the first systematic study of the spatial transmission of the 1929–33 epidemic of meningococcal meningitis and its association with local coal mining communities in three adjacent high incidence counties of England; Nottinghamshir...
