Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking Agricultural Trade Relationships in an Era of Globalization
Graham K. MacDonald,Kate A. Brauman,Shipeng Sun,Kimberly M. Carlson,E. S. Cassidy,James S. Gerber,Paul C. West +6 more
TL;DR: For example, this article found that traded animal products have a disproportionate influence according to value-based and embodied pasture metrics, and traded wheat, soybean, and maize contain the most calories, use the most cropland, and strongly influence irrigation water consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation in carbon stocks near tropical forest edges.
Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer,Ivan Ramler,Richard Sharp,Nick M. Haddad,James S. Gerber,Paul C. West,Lisa Mandle,Peder Engstrom,Alessandro Baccini,Sarah Sim,Carina Mueller,Henry King +11 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that IPCC Tier 1 methods overestimate carbon stocks in tropical forests by nearly 10%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global malnutrition overlaps with pollinator-dependent micronutrient production
Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer,Emily Dombeck,James S. Gerber,Katherine A. Knuth,Nathaniel D. Mueller,Megan P. Mueller,Guy Ziv,Guy Ziv,Alexandra-Maria Klein +8 more
TL;DR: These regions of high nutritional vulnerability are understudied in the pollination literature, and should be priority areas for research related to ecosystem services and human well-being.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing importance of precipitation variability on global livestock grazing lands
Lindsey L. Sloat,James S. Gerber,Leah H. Samberg,William K. Smith,William K. Smith,Mario Herrero,Laerte Guimarães Ferreira,Cecile Godde,Paul C. West +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess climate-based threats to global pastures, with a specific focus on changes in within and between-year precipitation variability (precipitation concentration index (PCI) and coefficient of variation of precipitation (CVP), respectively).
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate adaptation by crop migration.
Lindsey L. Sloat,Steven J. Davis,James S. Gerber,Frances C. Moore,Deepak K. Ray,Paul C. West,Nathaniel D. Mueller +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the most damaging impacts of warming on rainfed maize, wheat, and rice have been substantially moderated by the migration of these crops over time and the expansion of irrigation, finding a global migration away from warming climates.
