“…For example, the level of (dis)aggregation of the countries and regions or of products and sectors have surely played a considerable role in the differences between the subnational CF of this study and the others (see e.g. (Andrew et al, 2009;Bjelle et al, 2020;Fry et al, 2018;Lenzen, 2011)). Fourth, the approach used for CF calculation is also another relevant aspect that can influence the differences in the subnational CF.…”

Environmental input-output analyses (EIOA) can be a useful decision support tool at the subnational level, due to its ability to capture economic and environmental impacts at other geographical levels. Yet, such analyses are hindered by the lack of subnational IO tables. Furthermore, the lack of physical product and waste flows in what is known as a "hybrid" table prevents a range of consumption-based and circular economy type analyses. We demonstrate the development of a multiregional hybrid IOT (MRHIOT) along with environmental extensions at the subnational level and exemplify it for the case of Belgium. The development procedure discloses a novel approach of combining national hybrid tables, subnational monetary tables, and physical survey-based data. Such a combination builds upon a partial-survey approach that includes a range of techniques for initial estimation and reconciliation within a balancing procedure. For the validation of the approaches, we assessed the magnitude of deviations between the initial and final estimates and analysed the uncertainties inherent to each initial estimation procedure. Subsequently, we conducted a consumption-based analysis where we assessed the carbon footprint (CF) at the subnational level and highlighted the CF inherent to the interregional linkages. This study provides methodological and application-based contributions to the discussion on the relevance of hybrid subnational tables and analyses compared to national ones. The proposed approach could be replicable to some extent for further developing subnational

“…Following ref. 50 , builtup land, total cropland (including annual and permanent crops/ plantations), permanent pastures (areas used as pastures for more than five years) and rangeland (available in the two sub-categories natural and converted) extents were taken from the LU database HYDE 3.2.1 49 which was adapted to include rural infrastructure areas by assigning 5% of each grid cell’s cropland area to builtup land. We then split the total cropland cover into areas used for 41 different annual and permanent crops by integrating data from the Spatial Production Allocation Model (SPAM) for 2010 51 , 52 and adjusting them to cropland extent in the data from ref.…”

Relative effects of land conversion and land-use intensity on terrestrial vertebrate diversity

Land-use has transformed ecosystems over three quarters of the terrestrial surface, with massive repercussions on biodiversity. Land-use intensity is known to contribute to the effects of land-use on biodiversity, but the magnitude of this contribution remains uncertain. Here, we use a modified countryside species-area model to compute a global account of the impending biodiversity loss caused by current land-use patterns, explicitly addressing the role of land-use intensity based on two sets of intensity indicators. We find that land-use entails the loss of ~15% of terrestrial vertebrate species from the average 5 × 5 arcmin-landscape outside remaining wilderness areas and ~14% of their average native area-of-habitat, with a risk of global extinction for 556 individual species. Given the large fraction of global land currently used under low land-use intensity, we find its contribution to biodiversity loss to be substantial (~25%). While both sets of intensity indicators yield similar global average results, we find regional differences between them and discuss data gaps. Our results support calls for improved sustainable intensification strategies and demand-side actions to reduce trade-offs between food security and biodiversity conservation.
