Demographic Dynamics and Per Capita Environmental Impact: Using Panel Regressions and Household Decompositions to Examine Population and Transport (2003, background): “Meanwhile, Liu et al., (2003) argued that the increase in number of households, spurred in part by the decline in household size, has a negative impact on biodiversity.”
The flora of German cities is naturally species rich (2004, background): “Recent analyses on a global scale (Cincotta et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2003) have shown that the human population and the number of households grow extraordinarily in biodiversity hotspots.”
China's Environmental Challenges and Implications for the World (2010, background): “12 Rapid industrialization has led to enormous environmental damage in many regions.”
Examining the Impact of Demographic Factors on Air Pollution (2004, background): “More importantly, one of us has argued that the concept of ecological footprints does not represent a valid, reliable or methodologically sound indicator (see Neumayer 2003, pp. 172–177, for details).”
Human Population Density and Extinction Risk in the World's Carnivores (2004, background): “…with high HPD. Recent work suggests that number of households may be a better demographic indicator of threat intensity than number of people (Liu et al. 2003), although this is based on coarse-scale, country-level data that cannot easily be incorporated into phylogenetically explicit…”
Novel urban ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. (2011, background): “As the human population grows extraordinarily, especially in developing countries (MEA, 2005; United Nations, 2008), so do conflicts with conservation aims (Cincotta et al., 2000; Araújo, 2003; Liu et al., 2003; Kühn et al., 2004; Zhao et al., 2006).”
Urban ecological systems: scientific foundations and a decade of progress. (2011, background): “Liu et al. (2003) found that the number of households increases much faster than the total population and this rapid increase has important implications for”
The Impacts of Household Consumption and Options for Change (2010, positive): “These analyses lead to two important observations—growing populations and decreasing household sizes both lead to increases in emissions (Liu et al. 2003; Wilson and Boehland 2005).”
A comparative multivariate analysis of household energy requirements in Australia, Brazil, Denmark, India and Japan (2006, background): “[73] highlight the importance of a global trend towards smaller household size.”
