Global land use change, economic globalization, and the looming land scarcity
Eric F. Lambin,Patrick Meyfroidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the displacement, rebound, cascade, and remittance effects that are amplified by economic globalization accelerate land conversion, and that sound policies and innovations can reconcile forest preservation with food production.

Tipping Toward Sustainability: Emerging Pathways of Transformation
Frances Westley,Per Olsson,Carl Folke,Carl Folke,Thomas F. Homer-Dixon,Thomas F. Homer-Dixon,Harrie Vredenburg,Derk Loorbach,John Thompson,Måns Nilsson,Eric F. Lambin,Eric F. Lambin,Jan Sendzimir,Banny Banerjee,Banny Banerjee,Victor Galaz,Sander van der Leeuw +16 more
TL;DR: The central question is whether social and technical innovations can reverse the trends that are challenging critical thresholds and creating tipping points in the earth system, and if not, what conditions are necessary to escape the current lock-in.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a wall-to-wall, annual maps of change in woody vegetation and other land-cover classes between 2001 and 2010 for each of the 16,050 municipalities in Latin American and the Caribbean region (LAC).

TL;DR: It is suggested that the Millennium Development Goals need to be reframed in such a planetary stewardship context combined with a call for a new social contract on global sustainability.

Dynamics of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change in Tropical Regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the complexity of land-use/cover change and propose a framework for a more general understanding of the issue, with emphasis on tropical regions, and argue that a systematic analysis of local-scale land use change studies, conducted over a range of timescales, helps to uncover general principles that provide an explanation and prediction of new land use changes.

Farming and the Fate of Wild Nature
Rhys E. Green,Rhys E. Green,Stephen J. Cornell,Stephen J. Cornell,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Andrew Balmford,Andrew Balmford +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the best type of farming for species persistence depends on the demand for agricultural products and on how the population densities of different species on farmland change with agricultural yield, and that high-yield farming may allow more species to persist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confronting a biome crisis: global disparities of habitat loss and protection
TL;DR: The world’s terrestrial biomes and, at a finer spatial scale, ecoregions in which biodiversity and ecological function are at greatest risk because of extensive habitat conversion and limited habitat protection are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human appropriation of the products of photosynthesis
TL;DR: The figures reflect the current patterns of exploitation distribution and consumption of a much larger population; there must be limits to growth.
