Earlier collapse of Anthropocene ecosystems driven by multiple …
2023年6月22日 · We conduct experiments on four models that simulate abrupt changes in the Chilika lagoon fishery, the Easter Island community, forest dieback and lake water quality—representing ecosystems with a...
Biodiversity losses and conservation responses in the Anthropocene …
2017年4月21日 · In this Review, we place the current extinction crisis in the context of long-term impacts of humanity and assess current trends in biodiversity loss. We identify successes as well as failures in our response to this crisis and draw lessons on what is needed to turn the tide of biodiversity loss.
We conduct experiments on four models that simulate abrupt changes in the Chilika lagoon fishery, the Easter Island community, forest dieback and lake water quality—representing ecosystems with a...
The Future in Anthropocene Science - Keys - 2024 - Earth's Future ...
2023年12月28日 · We explore these three features using three cases of Anthropocene science including international energy scenarios, climate change projections, and the possibility of social collapse. We discuss how Anthropocene science modulates new risks and systematically, though perhaps inadvertently, entrains certain social-ecological futures.
Extinction in the Anthropocene: Current Biology - Cell Press
2019年10月7日 · Almost two-thirds (97 genera) of the world’s ‘megafaunal’ vertebrates (> 44 kg, or 100 lbs) became extinct by the end of the Pleistocene, including short-faced kangaroos, marsupial lions and giant monitor lizards in Australia, and mastodons, ground sloths and glyptodont armadillos in the Americas.
The Anthropocene condition: evolving through social–ecological ...
2023年11月13日 · Anthropogenic planetary disruptions, from climate change to biodiversity loss, are unprecedented challenges for human societies. Some societies, social groups, cultural practices, technologies and institutions are already disintegrating or disappearing as a result.
Ditching ‘Anthropocene’: why ecologists say the term still matters
2024年3月14日 · After 15 years of discussion, geologists last week decided that the Anthropocene — generally understood to be the age of irreversible human impacts on the planet — will not become an official...
The “Anthropocene”: neglects, misconceptions, and possible futures:
2017年6月16日 · In their introduction of the term, Crutzen and Stoermer wrote that the incoming of the “Anthropocene” could only be prevented by a global catastrophe—massive volcanic eruptions, a nuclear war, asteroid impacts, a glaciation, or a socio‐ecological collapse caused by our own stupidity—that eliminates or significantly reduces the human ...
The sixth mass extinction: Anthropocene and the human impact …
2013年11月17日 · But it is not a single anthropic factor that causes mass extinctions. Through a mix of different significantly impacting activities, we have produced the conditions for a global extinction crisis. In other words, “Anthropocene” means that Homo sapiens has become a dominant evolutionary force (Palumbi 2001).
Anthropocene, Climate Change, and Sustainability
2024年11月20日 · The ‘Anthropocene’ is a term widely used since its coining by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000 to denote the present geological time interval, in which many conditions and processes on Earth are profoundly altered by human impact (Crutzen/Stoermer 2000).This impact has intensified significantly since the onset of industrialization, taking us out of the Earth System state typical of ...
