“The Anthropocene concept has been taken up in a variety of ways across many academic fields since it was first suggested approximately two decades ago”
From A practical solution: the Anthropocene is a geological event, not a formal epoch (2022) · cites this paper as Crutzen, 2002
In the citing paper
“Indeed, most current usage of the term 'Anthropocene' already applies to investigations of Earth history well before and after the middle of the 20 th century.”
From A practical solution: the Anthropocene is a geological event, not a formal epoch (2022) · cites this paper as Crutzen, 2002
In the citing paper
“This is the case partly because Crutzen's original definition emphasized the onset of European industrialization, the irreversible biological changes of domestication and the globalization of species and their accumulative impact on the global environment (Crutzen, 2002).”
From A practical solution: the Anthropocene is a geological event, not a formal epoch (2022) · cites this paper as Crutzen, 2002
In the citing paper
“As a result, the very different land-use histories produced by different models of Holocene land-use change (Figs. 1 and 2) have major implications in understanding the emergence of humans as a global-scale force transforming climate—a key indicator of Earth system transformation and the emergence of the Anthropocene (9–11).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
