DESCRIPTION:The UN has declared this to be the Decade of Ecosystem Restorat
 ion\, which should foster the development of restoration projects in many 
 parts of the world suffering from land degradation. In parallel\, there is
  growing demand for deforestation-free and sustainably produced products\,
  as reflected partly by the establishment of the new EU Regulation on Defo
 restation-free products. The combination of these trends will likely lead 
 to local land use changes resulting in increases in landscape heterogeneit
 y. Here we place an interest in the effects that such changes have on biop
 hysical variables that directly impact the Earth system and the local clim
 ate\, such as short-wave radiation\, land surface temperature and evapotra
 nspiration\, as estimated diurnally from geostationary satellite observati
 ons. In this study\, we explore how the tree density and tree spatial arra
 ngement in different ecosystems of the African continent have an impact on
  the energetic budget at local and regional scales. We perform a space for
  time analysis where local changes on vegetation are used to disentangle t
 he effect of land cover transitions on biophysical variables. We expect th
 e results of the study to provide insights into where increasing landscape
  complexity may provide additional benefits in terms of ecosystem services
  and thereby contribute towards guidelines in sustainable land planning.

DESCRIPTION:Here we propose a planetary health diagnostic framework\, which
  aims to track\, understand\, and characterize the Earth system during the
  onset and progression of both chronic change (such as climate change) and
  abrupt disruptions (stemming from climate extremes and socio-economic sho
 cks). However\, monitoring a single component of the Earth system to guide
  policy\, but ignoring other essential components\, could lead to misleadi
 ng diagnostics and maladaptation of global sustainability. To gain insight
 s into the integration of climate\, biosphere\, and society\, we apply an 
 interactive dimensionality reduction to the annual variability of multi-st
 ream global data from 2003-2022\, including data representing the biospher
 e and climate combined with national socio-economic indicators.\n \nWe fin
 d that the interactions between biosphere\, atmosphere and socio-economy c
 an be captured by three principal axes\, which cumulatively explain 17.3%\
 , 22.8% and 24.5% of the variability condensed by non-interactive dimensio
 nality reduction in each individual domain\, respectively. The 1st and 2rd
  pairs of Biosphere-atmosphere-socioeconomic interactive axes describe ter
 restrial vegetation and land surface water syndromes. The first axes posit
 ively correlate to terrestrial vegetation productivity\, air temperature\,
  and technology and public health. The second axes negatively correlate to
  soil moisture\, potential evaporation\, and reflect several combined soci
 oeconomic aspects such as land use and inequality. We find distinct trajec
 tories across countries with high-income countries more resistant COVID-19
 -induced economic shock. High and low income groups show contrasting traje
 ctories that are related to poverty reduction and methane emission in the 
 low-income country group. This study advocates for a data-driven paradigm 
 to jointly monitor the recent trajectories of the biosphere\, atmosphere\,
  and society that could provide a better understanding and early warning o
 f the state of the Earth system for human well-being.
