Urban expansion exerts pressure on peri-urban agriculture, leading to the displacement of agricultural activities and a loss of local food provision and vital ecosystem services. This study examines the spatial-temporal transformations of peri-urban agriculture in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, a region that has experienced significant agricultural decline in recent decades.

Cultural Ecosystem Services are gaining increasing attention as motivators for nature conservation and environmental stewardship. However, most assessments focus on tangible, easily measured aspects such as recreation, while more intangible CES-like inspiration, spirituality, or sense of place-and their underlying drivers remain poorly understood.

Agriculture in the urban periphery (peri-UA) can potentially reduce its environmental impact through nutrient recovery from municipal solid and water waste, promoting local crops and displacing some dependency on imports. [...]

A more "efficient" biological pump is thought to have played a key role in glacial CO2 drawdown, with two principal mechanisms invoked to stem the CO2 "leak" from the modern Southern Ocean. The first sees a strengthened soft tissue pump, associated with a reduction in the ocean's "preformed" nutrient inventory. [...]

Many socio-economic systems require positive economic growth rates to function properly. These growth dependencies pose serious challenges given uncertainty about future growth rates and the role of economic growth as a driver of environmental crises. [...]
