Climate change impacts threaten sustainable development efforts. The magnitude of the impacts, however, varies with the socio-ecological characteristics of locations. This is the reason there is consensus on the necessity for climate change adaptive capa...

On a global scale, rangelands occupy approximately half of the world?s land base surface; have a critical role in carbon sequestration and biodiversity; and support a diverse and critical economy, but at the same time, are under threat by many factors, i...

The abundance and distribution of marine fishes is influenced by environmental conditions, predator?prey relationships, multispecies interactions, and direct human impacts, such as fishing. The adaptive response of the system depends on its structure and...

Built environment design is implicated in virtually all socio-ecological sustainability problems. Nonetheless, paradoxically, construction will be essential to creating sustainability by increasing social and natural life-support systems. Given the rates...
