Human pressures have pushed the Earth system deep into the Anthropocene, threatening
its stability, resilience and functioning. The Planetary Boundaries (PB) framework emerged …

This study prioritized initiatives within the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),
foreign funding, and the associated environmental and national issues. Additionally, it …

This planetary boundaries framework update finds that six of the nine boundaries are
transgressed, suggesting that Earth is now well outside of the safe operating space for …

Croplands are the foundation of global food security and represent the largest nitrogen flows
on Earth. Elevated atmospheric CO2 levels are a key driver of climate change with multiple …

Due to complex interactions, changes in any one area of food systems are likely to impact—
and possibly depend on—changes in other areas. Here we present the first annual …

The activation of nitrogen and phosphorus for food production has caused the transgression
of the safe operating space of the Earth system. However, countries differ in the use of their …

Human actions compromise the many life-supporting functions provided by the freshwater
cycle. Yet, scientific understanding of anthropogenic freshwater change and its long-term …

Abstract Whether Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS)-such as Fairtrade, GlobalGAP or
Organic-may contribute to economic sustainability has been subject to vigorous debate over …

The present study demonstrates the capability of an inversion modelling scheme so-called
the “triangle” to retrieve spatiotemporal estimates of surface energy fluxes and soil surface …

Knowledge on the spatiotemporal patterns of surface energy balance parameters is crucial
for understanding climate system processes. To this end, the assimilation of Earth …
