Human economic activities are driving both biodiversity loss and climate change, which mutually reinforce each other.14When human activities produce greenhouse gases, around half of the emissions remain in the atmosphere, while the land and the world’s oceans absorb the other...
Urban environments experience high levels of anthropogenic disturbance and have concentrated human populations, so they are at high risk of invasion by non-native species like buffelgrass. Here we examine how urban features such as high-traffic roadways, vacant lots, and alleys influence buffelgrass ...
The natural science in GEO-6 makes clear that a range and variety of unwelcome outcomes for humanity, with potentially very significant impacts for human h
Based on our analysis, we have identified the apparel sector’s five largest contributors to biodiversity loss. They are presented according to the fashion value chain, not by magnitude of impact: Cotton agriculture. Cotton is the most used nonsynthetic fiber in the world. Farming it is espec...
