Impact of environmental factors on the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in lupins: a review
(Food Additives and Contaminants - Part A, 2023)Lupin seeds have a high potential as an alternative for animal proteins in feed and food. However, the possible presence of alkaloids hinders the usage of lupins in human diets. This review aims to identify the main factors ... -
Impactos y adaptación al cambio climático en rumiantes
(ITEA-Informacion Tecnica Economica Agraria, 2020)Climate change will affect ruminant systems through direct effects on animal performance, and indirect effects on pasture and forage availability. As impacts will be very unequal amongst different regions and production ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on European Critical Infrastructures: The Case of the Power Sector
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-06-24)Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases cause climate change and this change in turn induces various direct impacts, e.g., changes in regional weather patterns. The frequency of heat waves and droughts in Europe is ... -
Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Ebro River Basin: From Theory to Facts
(MDPI, 2015)In this article, we analyze how successful the implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Ebro river catchment (in Spain) has been. Our main aim is to show some gaps between theory and practice. ... -
Implications of governance structures on urban climate action: evidence from Italy and Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. Cities magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Given the 70% of the global ... -
Implications of switching fossil fuel subsidies to solar: A case study for the European Union
(MDPI, 2017)Fossil fuel subsidies (FFS) constitute one of the most obvious barriers to tackling climate change, as they encourage inefficient energy consumption and divert investment away from clean energy sources. According to the ... -
Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ... -
La importancia de la eficiencia energética: evidencia reciente para España
(Papeles de Economía Española, 2022-12-05)The IPCC report shows that there is a gap between the need to achieve net GHG emissions by 2050, and what has been promised by political leaders. In this context, energy efficiency can play a key role in promoting ... -
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ... -

Impuestos ambientales sobre la contaminación del aire y el cambio climático: un análisis comparativo de los impactos distributivos para España
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-10)Los impactos distributivos de los impuestos ambientales son claves para su viabilidad política. - El efecto de los impuestos ambientales en el bienestar es reducido, especialmente cuando se reciclan los ingresos. - Los ... -
Incorporating non-stomatal limitation improves the performance of leaf and canopy models at high vapour pressure deficit
(Oxford University Press, 2019)Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response to increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result in significant reductions ... -
Increasing crop richness and reducing field sizes provide higher yields to pollinator-dependent crops
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2023)Agricultural landscapes cover >60% of terrestrial landscapes. While biodiversity conservation and crop productivity have been seen as mutually exclusive options for a long time, recent research suggests that agricultural ... -
Indicators for relational values of nature s contributions to good quality of life: the IPBES approach for Europe and Central Asia
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)Relational values are values of desirable relationships between people and nature and among people (through nature). We report on the approach to capture relational values of nature s contributions to people in the regional ... -
Indirect interactions between pollinators drive interaction rewiring through space
(Ecosphere, 2023-06-01)In recent years, an extended body of literature has focused on the importance of either temporal or spatial dynamics in shaping the structure of interacting plant and pollinator communities. This improvement from a previously ... -
Influence of farm diversity on nitrogen and greenhouse gas emission sources from key European dairy cattle systems: A step towards emission mitigation and nutrient circularity
(Agricultural Systems, 2024)European dairy cattle production systems (DPS) are facing multiple challenges that threaten their social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In this context, it is crucial to implement options to promote the ... -
Influence of methodological choices in farm sustainability assessments: A word of caution from a case study analysis of European dairy farms
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2024-06-01)In a context where sustainability assessments are increasingly popular, this perspective article discusses the influence of methodological choices on measurements of farm sustainability. We build the argumentation on the ... -
Influence of precision livestock farming on the environmental performance of intensive dairy goat farms
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022-06-01)The implementation of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concepts has been pointed out as an indirect strategy that could potentially help mitigating the environmental impacts of livestock production systems. To date, few ... -
Information, Experience, and Willingness to Mitigate Mental Health Consequences From Flooding Through Collective Defence
(Water Resources Research, 2022-04-01)Demand for reducing mental health impacts from flooding through collective flood defence is elicited using a contingent valuation method with a sequential hypothetical scenario, which accounts for human resilience and ... -
