Published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Tree planting has long played a major role in the New Zealand Government’s approach to climate mitigation and is increasingly understood as important for climate adaptation. However, large-scale tree planting in Aotearoa New Zealand has been dominated by exotic species. Although there is growing public and expert support for using native species fo...
Reflexive co-production for urban resilience: Guiding framework and experiences from Austin, Texas
Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Cities
The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have placed cities at the forefront of the human, social, economic, and ecological impacts of climate change. Extreme heat, extended freeze, excessive precipitation, and/or prolong drought impacts neighborhoods disproportionately across heterogenous urban geographies. Underserved, underr...
Impacts of climate change on global food trade networks
Published in Environmental Research Letters
Countries’ reliance on global food trade networks implies that regionally different climate change impacts on crop yields will be transmitted across borders. This redistribution constitutes a significant challenge for climate adaptation planning and may affect how countries engage in cooperative action. This paper investigates the long-term (2070–2...
Promise and paradox: A critical sociohydrological perspective on small-scale managed aquifer recharge
Published in Frontiers in Water
Small-scale managed aquifer recharge (MAR) has significant potential as a bottom-up, community-based adaptation solution for increasing local groundwater availability and reducing the experience of drought for small-holder agriculturalists and rural populations. Using a suite of low-tech and low-cost techniques, small-scale MAR increases the infilt...
A multi-aspect approach to energy retrofitting under global warming
An average working individual in today's society spends a considerableamount of a typical day in an office environment. This, in turn,can negatively influenceher or his circadian systemif the indoor builtenvironment is not designed to provide adequate luminous conditions. Therefore, the presented paper's main objectivewas to address the extent to w...
Nature Inclusive Design: A tool for degraded urban areas and climate change mitigation.
At a fast pace, the urbanization level is increasing worldwide and the projections indicate that 2/3 of the population will be living in urban environments by 2050. This implies many concerns, more population and urbanization, nowadays, are directly translated to more consumption counting to the inflated orb that lingers all the climate changes mat...
Rethinking disaster utopia: the limits of conspicuous resilience for community-based recovery and adaptation.
Published in Disasters
While some communities appear to blossom in the wake of a disaster, others are left to struggle in the ashes. This article introduces the concept of conspicuous resilience to understand how emergent community-based recovery efforts privilege some needs while marginalizing others, contributing to uneven forms of recovery. Drawing on a qualitative ca...
Nature-based climate adaptation projects, their governance and transitional potential-cases from Copenhagen
Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Cities
This paper investigates and broadens the discussion of nature-based climate adaptation for storm water management and coastal flooding. Based on three Copenhagen cases of locally initiated innovative flagship projects and framed by governance and transition theory, we investigate how nature-based solutions can be understood in a real-life context, ...
Invasive species do not exploit early growing seasons in burned tallgrass prairies.
Published in Ecological applications : a publication of the Ecological Society of America
Invasive species management is key to conserving critically threatened native prairie ecosystems. While prescribed burning is widely demonstrated to increase native diversity and suppress invasive species, elucidating the conditions under which burning is most effective remains an ongoing focus of applied prairie ecology research. Understanding how...
