European agricultural landscapes, common agricultural policy and ecosystem services: a review (2013, background): “This is particularly relevant in an increasing urbanized world with reinforced urban – rural linkages and ongoing societal changes with a strong focus on quality of life issues (Seto et al. 2012).”
Global forecasts of urban expansion to 2030 and direct impacts on biodiversity and carbon pools (2012, background): “Class Amphibia EN+CR 507 139 (27) 26 (5) 15 (3) EN 208 54 (26) 8 (4) 5 (2) CR 299 85 (28) 18 (6) 10 (3) Aves EN+CR 199 25 (13) 5 (3) 2 (1) EN 94 11 (12) 3 (3) 0 (0) CR 105 14 (13) 2 (2) 2 (2) Coniferopsida EN+CR 26 3 (12) 0 (0) 0 (0) EN 13 3 (23) 0 (0) 0 (0) CR 13 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) Mammalia EN+CR 16”
Cropland Abandonment in South African Smallholder Communal Lands: Land Cover Change (1950–2010) and Farmer Perceptions of Contributing Factors (2018, background): “Socio-economic factors include rural outmigration, industrialization, local and global market forces, rural-urban connections [18,37], farm and farmer characteristics, and market access [25].”
Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing: Moving Forward (2014, background): “, by foregoing maximum yields) in one region can cause leakage effects in which agriculture is displaced to another region through trade (Seto et al. 2012; Grau et al. 2013).”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “Several emerging trends in land systems require further theoretical development, including relations between urban and rural areas (Seto et al., 2012), such as central flow theory (Taylor et al.”
Social-ecological resilience and biosphere-based sustainability science (2016, background): “…dwellers perceive themselves as part of and dependent on the biosphere, their behaviors and choices shape social-ecological landscapes and seascapes around the world through, e.g., markets, institutions, and global infrastructures (Seto et al. 2012, Andersson et al. 2014, Cumming et al. 2014).”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…with an enhancement of social centrality in structuring and concentrating the forces of sociocultural niche construction within landscapes and across regions and globally through the telecoupling of resource demand and migration (Grimm et al. 2008, Bruckner et al. 2012, Seto et al. 2012).”
Biodiversity impacts and conservation implications of urban land expansion projected to 2050 (2022, positive): “These impacts may be felt well outside the boundaries of urban areas via teleconnections that link urban demand for resources to habitat loss in all parts of the globe (38).”
Systems integration for global sustainability (2015, background): “Many urban sustainability efforts focus on locally specific solutions that may not be scalable (7).”
A 40-year review of food–energy–water nexus literature and its application to the urban scale (2019, background): “Globalization processes have intertwined urban areas with distant geographies through the exchange of not only FEW, but materials, capital, people, and the like (Seto et al 2012, Yu et al 2013, Hubacek et al 2014).”
Economic and Social Development along the Urban-Rural Continuum: New Opportunities to Inform Policy (2021, background): “Although this allows capturing rural–urban interlinkages, it does not take into account that regional development and sustainability can also be shaped by non-adjacent functional relationships, also referred to as teleconnections (Seto et al., 2012).”
Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange: Implications for sustainability in the 21st century (2021, background): “Given the increasingly globalized nature of the economic system and the increased focus on understanding teleconnections and sustainability (e.g., Friis et al., 2016; Seto et al., 2012), this represents a significant research gap for ecological economics and sustainability science.”
