Traversing the food-biodiversity nexus towards coexistence by manipulating social-ecological system parameters
(Wiley, 2020)
Agroecological landscapes have the potential to simultaneously meet food security and biodiversity conservation goals but are hindered by emerging biodiversity conflicts. Here, we opt to view the social-ecological factors ...
Landscape disturbance gradients: the importance of the type of scene when evaluating landscape preferences and perceptions
(MDPI, 2020)
