The influence of landscape change on multiple dimensions of human-nature connectedness

Human-nature connectedness is hailed as a potential remedy for the current sustainability crisis, yet it is also deeply affected by it. Here, we perform a comprehensive assessment of human-nature connectedness that includes material, experiential, cognitive, emotional, and philosophical dimensions....
