    • Biodiversity Impact Assessment Considering Land Use Intensities and Fragmentation 

      Scherer, Laura; Rosa, Francesca; Sun, Zhongxiao; Michelsen, Ottar; De Laurentiis, Valeria; Marques, Alexandra; Pfister, Stephan; Verones, Francesca; Kuipers, Koen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-16)
      Land use is a major threat to terrestrial biodiversity. Life cycle assessment is a tool that can assess such threats and thereby support environmental decision-making. Within the Global Guidance for Life Cycle Impact Assessment (GLAM) project, the Life Cycle Initiative hosted by UN Environment aims to create a life cycle impact assessment method across multiple impact categories, including ...

    • Native range estimates for red-listed vascular plants 

      Borgelt, Jan; Parada, Jorge Sicacha; Skarpaas, Olav; Verones, Francesca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-29)
      Besides being central for understanding both global biodiversity patterns and associated anthropogenic impacts, species range maps are currently only available for a small subset of global biodiversity. Here, we provide a set of assembled spatial data for terrestrial vascular plants listed at the global IUCN red list. The dataset consists of pre-defned native regions for 47,675 species, density ...

    • Retrieval operations of derelict fishing gears give insight on the impact on marine life 

      Vodopia, Dorian; Verones, Francesca; Askham, Cecilia; Larsen, Roger Bertram (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-16)
      Abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), significantly impacts marine ecosystems and biodiversity by incidental capture known as ghost fishing. Such impacts were quantified during the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries' annual ALDFG cleanup operation in September 2023 by examining the characteristics of retrieved ALDFG and recording the taxonomically sorted catch abundance and biomass. A ...

    • Spatially and taxonomically explicit characterisation factors for greenhouse gas emission impacts on biodiversity 

      Iordan, Cristina Maria; Kuipers, Koen Jacobus Josefus; Huang, Bo; Hu, Xiangping; Verones, Francesca; Cherubini, Francesco (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-06)
      In life-cycle impact assessment, currently available characterisation factors (CF) for climate change impacts on biodiversity are highly simplified and do not consider spatial and taxonomic differentiation of species or local climate variability. We develop the first spatially and taxonomically specific CFs for the impacts of 20 GHGs on biodiversity considering 26,648 species across terrestrial and ...

    • What Is the Impact of Accidentally Transporting Terrestrial Alien Species? A New Life Cycle Impact Assessment Model 

      Borgelt, Jan Simon; Dorber, Martin; Géron, Charly; Kuipers, Koen Jacobus Josefus; Huijbregts, Mark A. J.; Verones, Francesca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-08)
      Alien species form one of the main threats to global biodiversity. Although Life Cycle Assessment attempts to holistically assess environmental impacts of products and services across value chains, ecological impacts of the introduction of alien species are so far not assessed in Life Cycle Impact Assessment. Here, we developed country-to-country-specific characterization factors, expressed as the ...
