Changes in multiple ecosystem services and their influencing factors in Nordic countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding changes of ecosystem services and their influencing factors is crucial for more sustainable ecosystem management and conservation of nature contributions to people, especially in regions suffering high pressure ... -
Characterization factors for the impact of climate change on freshwater fish species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Human activities increasingly threaten the highly biodiverse freshwater ecosystems. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a useful tool to quantify the impacts of products and services on freshwater biodiversity. Current methodologies ... -
An effect factor approach for quantifying the entanglement impact on marine species of macroplastic debris within life cycle impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Plastic waste from anthropogenic activities is accumulating in the marine environment and poses a threat to marine biodiversity. Nevertheless, tools to assess the potential ecosystem damage from plastic waste are currently ... -
Estimating the human appropriation of land in Brazil by means of an Input-Output Economic Model and Ecological Footprint analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)As we confront the current environmental crisis, determining the biophysical base (e.g., materials, energy, land, and water) of nations has become paramount. With advanced economies benefiting from the import of ... -
A framework for the assessment of marine litter impacts in life cycle impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Marine litter, mostly plastics, is a growing environmental problem. Environmental decision makers are beginning to take actions and implement regulations that aim to reduce plastic use and waste mismanagement. ... -
Global characterization factors for quantifying the impacts of increasing water temperature on freshwater fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Water temperature is an abiotic master variable for the survival of aquatic organisms. Global warming alters the thermal regimes of rivers and, thus, poses a threat to freshwater biodiversity. To address the impacts of ... -
Global distribution of potential impact hotspots for marine plastic debris entanglement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine animals have been known to interact with and become entangled in plastic debris for decades. Despite increasing annual input volumes of plastic waste to the natural environment and the threat this constitutes to ... -
Global extinction probabilities of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species groups for use in Life Cycle Assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Human activities put pressure on the natural environmental and the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA) is becoming a more prevalent tool to assess the relevant environmental impacts from products and processes on ... -
Impacts of idealized land cover changes on climate extremes in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Extremes in climate and weather can pose significant challenges to economy, ecosystems and human health. Changes in land cover are one of the drivers for variability in frequency and magnitude of extreme climate at regional ... -
Integrating impacts on climate change and biodiversity from forest harvest in Norway
(Journal article, 2018)Forest ecosystems provide a variety of services, from climate regulation to biodiversity conservation. Temporary land cover variations such as those related to forest management can contribute to climate change through ...
