Conceptualizing, Observing, and Influencing Social-Ecological Transitions (2009, background): “On the global level today, about two-thirds of the world’s population live more or less by a metabolic profile of the agrarian societies in the past, and they are rapidly about to change that toward an industrial profile (see empirically in Krausmann et al. (2008)).”
The Role of In-Use Stocks in the Social Metabolism and in Climate Change Mitigation (2013, unknown): “(Fischer-Kowalski et al., 2011; Fischer-Kowalski, 2011; Haberl et al., 2011; Krausmann, 2011; Krausmann et al., 2008).”
The Quintuple Helix innovation model: global warming as a challenge and driver for innovation (2012, background): “‘Sociometabolic regimes represent dynamic equilibria of society-nature interactions and are characterized by typical patterns of material and energy flows (metabolic profiles)’ (Krausmann et al. 2008, p. 1).”
Material Footprint Assessment in a Global Input‐Output Framework (2015, background): “Also, several studies provide comparative assessments of DMC across all countries world-wide (Dittrich et al. 2012; Steinberger et al. 2010; Krausmann et al. 2008; Steinberger et al. 2013; Giljum et al. 2014).”
The material footprint of nations (2013, background): “iii) Population density (population per area) as a proxy for the need to import materials from abroad, with the reasoning being that the ability to produce land-based raw materials (crops, fodder, and wood, as well as open-cast mining of minerals to some extent) might be dependent on the availabilit”
Transitions in pathways of human development and carbon emissions (2013, background): “Population density results in different expectations of resource use more broadly, as an indicator of agricultural development and resource scarcity (Krausmann et al 2008).”
Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, methodology): “For both flows, standardized estimation procedures have been developed (Wirsenius 2003; Krausmann et al. 2008; Eurostat 2009) that make assumptions on the ratio of grain to straw (harvest indexes) and roughage intake by livestock.”
Social Metabolism, Ecological Distribution Conflicts, and Valuation Languages (2010, background): “…now it is placed in the context of the analysis of “socio-ecological transitions” as developed by the Social Ecology group in Vienna (Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl, 2007; Krausmann et al., 2008, 2009), of interest not only to ecological economics and political ecology but also to economic geography.”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, methodology): “(33, 34) investigated the evolution of socio-metabolic patterns as metabolic transitions, and Gonzales de Molina & Toledo (35) applied the concept to study historical change.”
