The stationary and non-stationary character of the silver fir, black pine and Scots pine tree-growth-climate relationships
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2022-10-15)Tree-growth-climate relationships are usually assumed to have a stationary character, i.e., continuous and/or time-independent, along the lifetime of the trees. The fact that non-stationarity, i.e., discontinuous and/or ... -
The Sustainability of `Sustainable´ Energy Use: Historical Evidence on the Relationship between Economic Growth and Renewable Energy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-07-13)Understandably, focus on a transition to a low carbon economy has overshadowed what happens when the transition has been completed. This paper tries to offer lessons about the very long run aspects of a future economy ... -

(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-09-25)In Europe the ambitions of individual countries to deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are diverse. Reasons for this are, amongst other things, the heterogeneity of national electricity generation systems ... -
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 2019)Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many challenges to ... -
Topography modulates climate sensitivity of multidecadal trends of holm oak decline
(Global Change Biology, 2023)Forest decline events have increased worldwide over the last decades being holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) one of the tree species with the most worrying trends across Europe. Since this is one of the tree species with the ... -
