- The productivity, metabolism and carbon cycle of tropical forest vegetation (2012, positive): “Examples of Anthropocene influences include changes in atmospheric and ocean properties and biogeochemistry, biome cover change or faunal extinction, or the ‘new Pangaea’ (Rosenzweig 2001) being created by increasing mixing of species previously separated by biogeographical boundaries.”
- Evolving water science in the Anthropocene (2013, background): “Finally, humans are likely driving the sixth major extinction event in Earth history (Steffen et al., 2011a).”
- A global-level assessment of the effectiveness of protected areas at resisting anthropogenic pressures (2019, background): “T Anthropocene is characterized by an unparalleled “human impact on the global environment” (1) leading to dramatic declines in biodiversity and potentially the first mass extinctions brought on by a single species (2).”
- Possible target corridor for sustainable use of global material resources (2015, neutral): ““anthropocene” [61,62].”
- Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…the emergence of humans as a ‘‘great force of nature’’ that is transforming the Earth system, shifting the planet into a new epoch of geologic time: the Anthropocene (Crutzen 2002, Steffen et al. 2007, Ellis 2011, Steffen et al. 2011, Zalasiewicz et al. 2012, Smith and Zeder 2013, Barnosky 2014).”
- The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (2011, background): “Indeed, the concept of an ‘Anthropocene’, a geological time interval defined by anthropogenic impacts on the Earth system (Steffen et al., 2011; Zalasiewicz et al., 2011), took as its point of origin the late 18th century, when industrial combustion became prominent in many economies (Crutzen,…”
- The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Enhancing Adaptive Capacity to Complex Global Challenges (2015, background): “The intimate links between social and ecological processes are strengthened (made more fundamental than perhaps previously believed) in the age of profound humanmanipulation of planetary processes characterized as the Anthropocene (Steffen et al. 2011).”
