GLP land system science experts published our 8️⃣ policy principles for sustainable & just land systems.

Following these principles from agenda setting to formulation to implementation can help improve land policy.

Asuper interesting read on #Russia’s grain “diplomacy” in sub-saharan Africa
zois.bsky.social Zentrum für Osteuropa- und internationale Studien (ZOiS) @zois.bsky.social · Oct 9
Russia is exporting more and more grain to African states. Yet, food security in many of these countries is deteriorating.
In the new #ZOiS_Spotlight, agricultural economist Pavlo Martyshev explains how Russia is advancing its own geopolitical interests by trading with autocratic governments.

Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

The researchers contacted the authors of the original studies -- 156 of them.

And you know how many were willing to share data?

14% of them.

If we're going to address replication issues, it has to start with sharing data.

We used the mean temperature of the warmest quarter from 23 global climate models to project areas above the climatic treeline for several SSPs. In the high-emissions scenario, the climatic treeline almost entirely disappears in about 50 years.

Depending on future climate projections, the climatic envelope for alpine ecosystems is expected to decrease to 410–515 km2 by 2040, 100–320 km2 by 2060, and 15–290 km2 by 2080 (3)

We identified the climatic treeline on high-resolution sat imagery, then correlated these with the location of the treeline. The mean temperature of the warmest quarter correlated most with treeline location. The current total area of the climatic envelope for alpine ecosystems is ~1,370 km2 (2)
