Expert organizations as a space for early-career development: Engaging in service while balancing expectations on research and teaching

Karin M. Gustafsson

Summary: This paper explores the development of academic identity and environmental expertise among early-career researchers through the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The study highlights the role of IPBES's fellowship programme in shaping the academic identity of its participants and fostering the creation and maintenance of environmental expertise. The findings reveal that the fellowship programme introduces researchers to a community of practice, enabling them to develop an academic identity that bridges different fields and expands their understanding of academic success.

The Ninth Plenary of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES-9): sustainable use, values, and business (as usual)

Peter Bridgewater et al.

Summary: The ninth plenary session of IPBES was held in Bonn, Germany in July 2022. Key issues discussed included the assessment of the Sustainable Use of Wild Species and Values of Biodiversity, as well as the Nature Future Framework and a scoping document for business and biodiversity. We present the insights from the plenary and suggest matters for the consideration of Platform members.

A global agenda for advancing freshwater biodiversity research

Alain Maasri et al.

Summary: Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, with investments in research and conservation lagging behind terrestrial and marine realms. Through a global consultation, 15 pressing priority needs have been identified to support informed stewardship of freshwater biodiversity. The proposed agenda aims to advance freshwater biodiversity research globally for its sustainable management and conservation.

Freshwater systems and ecosystem services: Challenges and chances for cross-fertilization of disciplines

Agnes Vari et al.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems play crucial roles in providing essential ecosystem services, yet research on these services is limited. Bridging knowledge gaps and enhancing cooperation between science and policy in Europe can help improve the implementation of the ecosystem services concept, especially in Southeast Europe.

A network to enhance the contributions from the social sciences and humanities to IPBES

Hakon B. Stokland et al.

Summary: IPBES requires increased contributions from the social sciences and humanities, but there is a shortage of nominations for experts from these fields. The establishment of the Social Sciences and Humanities Network (SSH Network) aims to improve this situation, with strategies developed to enhance engagement from scholars.

The origins of global biodiversity on land, sea and freshwater

Cristian Roman-Palacios et al.

Summary: This study reveals the differences in species richness among terrestrial, marine, and freshwater habitats. It finds that freshwater habitats have relatively high species richness and exceptional phylogenetic diversity, but have been understudied. The origins of these differences are related to the ancestral origins and evolution of species, highlighting the conservation importance of freshwater habitats.

A function-based typology for Earth's ecosystems

David A. Keith et al.

Summary: As the United Nations develops a post-2020 global biodiversity framework, the need for new goals and targets for ecosystem conservation is being emphasized. Reliable and resilient research on ecosystem responses to environmental change and management is necessary to achieve dual imperatives of conserving biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem services. However, the lack of a globally consistent ecosystem classification hampers progress in developing conservation targets and sustainability goals.

A framework for ensemble modelling of climate change impacts on lakes worldwide: the ISIMIP Lake Sector

Malgorzata Golub et al.

Summary: Empirical evidence shows that lakes and reservoirs are warming globally. Previous studies on the impacts of climate change on lakes have been limited and fragmented, resulting in a lack of understanding of the main effects at global and regional scales. The simulation protocol developed by the ISIMIP Lake Sector aims to address this gap by using multiple lake models and climate change scenarios to project future impacts on lake water quality and biogeochemistry.

Scientists' warning to humanity on the freshwater biodiversity crisis

James S. Albert et al.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, ecosystem productivity, and human health and welfare. However, human impacts are leading to rapid declines in freshwater biodiversity and the loss of critical natural resources and services, with the degradation occurring more quickly than in terrestrial ecosystems. To address these challenges, urgent policy actions are needed to promote clean water, conserve watershed services, and restore freshwater ecosystems.

Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single-lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services

Jani Heino et al.

Summary: Lakes are crucial for maintaining ecological balance and providing ecosystem services, but face challenges like invasion by non-native species and accumulation of harmful substances in the Anthropocene. Interdisciplinary research and integration of models are essential for the restoration and management of lake biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Safeguarding freshwater life beyond 2020: Recommendations for the new global biodiversity framework from the European experience

Charles B. van Rees et al.

Summary: Plans are underway for the next decade of action on biodiversity, with a focus on freshwater biodiversity. Despite being disproportionately threatened, freshwater biodiversity has not received enough attention in policies and strategies. It is crucial for future actions to prioritize the unique ecology and threats facing freshwater ecosystems, and to incorporate recommendations based on past experiences and recent literature.

Social-ecological interactions in the Draa River Basin, southern Morocco: Towards nature conservation and human well-being using the IPBES framework

Elisabeth Berger et al.

Summary: Water is essential for human societies and nature conservation, especially in arid regions. This study in southern Morocco analyzes the connections between people and nature in the water scarce Draa River Basin, using the IPBES framework to understand social-ecological system dynamics. The study found that environmental parameters influence invertebrate richness and community composition, and farmers have differing perceptions of water related changes in the basin.

Drivers of biodiversity loss in freshwater environments: A bibliometric analysis of the recent literature

Emilio A. Williams-Subiza et al.

Summary: The study found that freshwater biodiversity loss is occurring at a faster rate than in terrestrial or marine environments, with researchers focusing primarily on six drivers such as climate change and water pollution while neglecting other threats like plastic and light pollution. Additionally, megadiverse countries, mostly developing nations, published substantially fewer articles compared to developed countries with lower biodiversity. Recommendations were made to address the biases identified in the study.
