Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ... -
Stakeholders perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies
(Elsevier, 2018)The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners perspectives on the practical implementation ... -
Stochastic diffusion models to describe the evolution of annual heatwave statistics: A three-factor model with risk calculations
(Elsevier, 2019)In view of risk assessments this paper proposes a stochastic diffusion model to characterise statistics of extreme events when climate- or environmental variables surpass critical thresholds. The proposed three-factor model ... -
Storage and demand response contribution to firm capacity: Analysis of the Spanish electricity system
(Energy Reports, 2022)Provision of firm capacity will become a challenge in power systems dominated by renewable generation. This paper analyzes the competitiveness and role of battery storage, six types of pumped-hydro storage, open cycle gas ... -
Storylines for practice: a visual storytelling approach to strengthen the science-practice interface
(Sustainability Science, 2020-07-01)A growing number of scientific publications is available to promote sustainable river management. However, these publications target researchers rather than water management professionals who are responsible for the ... -
Subaltern forms of knowledge are required to boost local adaptation
(One Earth, 2021-06-18)Evidence shows that current adaptation planning approaches are not always successful in generating actionable knowledge to guide implementation on the ground. There remains a persistent disconnect between the production ... -
Summer drought and spring frost, but not their interaction, constrain European beech and Silver fir growth in their southern distribution limits
(Elsevier, 2019)Climate warming has lengthened the growing season by advancing leaf unfolding in many temperate tree species. However, an earlier leaf unfolding increases also the risk of frost damage in spring which may reduce tree radial ... -
Sustainability Assessment of Pasture-Based Dairy Sheep Systems: A Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Approach
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)This article describes a novel methodological approach for the integrated sustainability assessment of pasture-based dairy sheep systems. Most studies on livestock system sustainability focus on animal production, farm ... -
Synergies and trade-offs of climate change mitigation policies: an integrative assessment approach
(2019-07-04)The large degree of transformational change that would be necessary to limit global temperature change to 2°C would not only avoid dangerous climate change, but will affect societies in many more aspects. Depending how ... -
Taxing air pollutants and carbon individually or jointly: results from a CGE model enriched by an emission abatement sector
(The International Input Output Association, 2019)We analyse the separate and collective impacts of emissions taxation to understand the internalisation effects of externalities. The analysis is carried out using a static computable general equilibrium model, with ... -
Ten facts about land systems for sustainability
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-02-15)... -
Ten lessons for good practice for the INHERIT triple win: Health, equity, and environmental sustainability
(MDPI, 2019)The world s challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. ... -

Testing the SDG targets on water and sanitation using the world trade model with a waste, wastewater, and recycling framework
(Elsevier, 2019)In this article, we employ an extended world trade model and rectangular choice of technology (WTM/RCOT) framework, which minimizes global factor costs subject to satisfying final demand and respecting region-specific ... -
The 2022 Europe report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: towards a climate resilient future
(The Lancet Public Health, 2022)... -
The adoption of ecosystem-based adaptation in the international climate agenda
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-05-02)There is a growing recognition of the role that healthy ecosystems play in helping people to adapt to climate change through the delivery of ecosystem services. • Ecosystem-based Adaptation promotes the sustainable use of ... -
The basque ecological debt: global socioecological impacts of a small open economy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-08-08)Globalisation of the world economy has increased the material and en-ergy flows around the planet raising the pressure over the environment. In this context, it becomes critical to better understand the links between current ... -
The biodiversity and ecosystem service contributions and trade-offs of forest restoration approaches
(Science, 2022)Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery across different restoration approaches. ... -
The Cancun Climate Summit: a Moderate Success
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-01-14)The Cancun Summit started with the conviction that a binding agreement would not be possible and with significantly lower expectations than the previous summit in Copenhagen. If the outcome of the summit had to be defined, ... -
The case of a southern European glacier disappearing under recent warming that survived Roman and Medieval warm periods
(Cryosphere Discussions, 2020-06-08)Mountain glaciers have generally experienced an accelerated retreat over the last three decades as a rapid response to current global warming. However, the response to previous warm periods in the Holocene is not well-described ...
