A methodology for systematic mapping in environmental sciences

Katy James, Nicola Randall, Neal Haddaway · 26 Apr 2016

Systematic mapping was developed in social sciences in response to a lack of empirical data when answering questions using systematic review methods, and a need for a method to describe the literature across a broad subject of interest. Systematic mapping does not attempt to answer a specific question as do systematic reviews, but instead collates,…

What are the effects of nature conservation on human well-being? A systematic map of empirical evidence from developing countries

Madeleine McKinnon, Samantha Cheng, Samuel Dupre et al. · 27 Apr 2016

Abstract Background Global policy initiatives and international conservation organizations have sought to emphasize and strengthen the link between the conservation of natural ecosystems and human development. While many indices have been developed to measure various social outcomes to conservation interventions, the quantity and strength of evidence to support the effects, both positive and negative, of…

Climate change and the global redistribution of biodiversity: substantial variation in empirical support for expected range shifts

Madeleine A. Rubenstein, Sarah R. Weiskopf, Romain Bertrand et al. · 11 Apr 2023

BACKGROUND: Among the most widely predicted climate change-related impacts to biodiversity are geographic range shifts, whereby species shift their spatial distribution to track their climate niches. A series of commonly articulated hypotheses have emerged in the scientific literature suggesting species are expected to shift their distributions to higher latitudes, greater elevations, and deeper depths in…

Human well-being impacts of terrestrial protected areas

Andrew S. Pullin, Mukdarut Bangpan, Sarah E. Dalrymple et al. · 1 Jan 2013

Establishing Protected Areas (PAs) is among the most common conservation interventions. Protecting areas from the threats posed by human activity will by definition inhibit some human actions. However, adverse impacts could be balanced by maintaining ecosystem services or introducing new livelihood options. Consequently there is an ongoing debate on whether the net impact of PAs…

Quantitative evidence synthesis: a practical guide on meta-analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias tests for environmental sciences

Shinichi Nakagawa, Yefeng Yang, Erin L. Macartney et al. · 24 Apr 2023

Meta-analysis is a quantitative way of synthesizing results from multiple studies to obtain reliable evidence of an intervention or phenomenon. Indeed, an increasing number of meta-analyses are conducted in environmental sciences, and resulting meta-analytic evidence is often used in environmental policies and decision-making. We conducted a survey of recent meta-analyses in environmental sciences and found…
