Transport poverty indicators: A new framework based on the household budget survey
(Energy Policy, 2023-10-01)The energy transition represents an economic opportunity in many countries, but it can also disproportionately affect vulnerable households. Although increasing attention has been paid on energy poverty at homes, there is ... -
Tree growth response to drought partially explains regional-scale growth and mortality patterns in Iberian forests
(Ecological Applications, 2022-07-01)Tree-ring data has been widely used to inform about tree growth responses to drought at the individual scale, but less is known about how tree growth sensitivity to drought scales up driving changes in forest dynamics. ... -
Tree influence exacerbates the El Niño effects over soil CO<inf>2</inf> emissions and its microclimatic controls
(Applied Soil Ecology, 2020-03-01)Dryland ecosystems are considered the largest global carbon sink. However, extreme climate phenomena like the El Niño events (EN) may change soil respiration (Rs) the CO2 emitted from soils resulting from biological ... -
Tree vigour influences secondary growth but not responsiveness to climatic variability in Holm oak
(Elsevier, 2018)Many tree species from Mediterranean regions have started to show increased rates of crown defoliation, reduced groth, and dieback associated with the increase in temperatures and changes in the frequency and intensity of ... -
Trends in Income and Price Elasticities of Transport Demand (1850-2010)
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-02-24)The purpose of this paper is to estimate trends in income and price elasticities and to offer insights for the future growth in transport use, with particular emphasis on the impact of energy and technological transitions. ... -
Triple exposure: Reducing negative impacts of climate change, blue growth, and conservation on coastal communities
(One Earth, 2023-02-17)Coastal communities are on the frontlines of three accelerating global change drivers, climate change, blue growth, and the expansion of area-based conservation, leading to a “triple exposure” scenario. Despite efforts to ... -
TRY plant trait database enhanced coverage and open access
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020)Plant traits the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Uncertainties in the value and opportunity costs of pollination services
(British Ecological Society, 2019)Pollination is an ecosystem service that directly contributes to agricultural production, and can therefore provide a strong incentive to conserve natural habitats that support pollinator populations. However, we have yet ... -
Under what conditions is the bioethanol and biodiesel produced entirely in the Basque Country sustainable?
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-05)*The process of agricultural production, and especially anything related to the management of fertilisation, largely determines the uncertainty in the estimation of the different environmental impact of biofuel production. ... -
Underrated past herbivore densities could lead to misoriented sustainability policies.
(npj Biodiversity, 2023-01-06)Knowing the carrying capacity of the Earth’s grazed ecosystems, and the relevance of herbivory, is important for many scientific disciplines, as well as for policy. Current herbivore levels are estimated to be four to five ... -
Understanding Public Support for Externality-Correcting Taxes and Subsidies: A Lab Experiment
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-01-01)The potential of taxation to correcting environmental externalities has been long recognized among economists. Yet, this welfare-enhancing policy commonly faces strong opposition by citizens. Conversely, externality-correcting ... -
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ... -
Unexplained hydrogen isotope offsets complicate the identification and quantification of tree water sources in a riparian forest
(EGU Publications, 2019)We investigated plant water sources of an emblematic refugial population of Fagus sylvatica (L.) in the Ciron river gorges in south-western France using stable water isotopes. It is generally assumed that no isotopic ... -
Unprecedented recent regional increase in organic carbon and lithogenic fluxes in high altitude Pyrenean lakes
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We have conducted a monitoring survey and paleolimnological study of a W-E transect of six high altitude lakes (1870–2630 m asl) in the western and central Pyrenees (Spain) to evaluate the regional response to current ... -
Unravelling Antarctica’s past through the stratigraphy of a deep ice core: an image-analysis study of the EPICA-DML line-scan images
(Elsevier, 2020)Polar ice research has undergone great progress in the last six decades. One of its recent technological achievements has been the development of new techniques for digital image recording and analysis of ice-core stratigraphy ... -
Urban green space: creating a triple win for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity through behavior change
(MDPI, 2019)Urbanization, costs of green space maintenance, and diminishing connection between people and nature all exert pressures on urban green space. This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for ... -
Urban research at BC3: How climate change science can support urban policy making
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2016-06)Cities are becoming key actors to successfully achieve climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives. . -Science can play a crucial role in supporting local decision-makers by providing top level information and ... -
Use your power for good: Plural valuation of nature the Oaxaca statement
(Global sustainability, 2020)During a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in ... -
Use, value, and desire: ecosystem services under agricultural intensification in a changing landscape in West Kalimantan (Indonesia)
(Regional Environmental Change, 2023-12-01)A fundamental challenge is to understand and navigate trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) in dynamic landscapes and to account for interactions between local people and broad-scale drivers, such as agricultural ... -
Using Deep Learning and Radar Backscatter for Mapping River Water Surface
(International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management, GISTAM - Proceedings, 2023-01-01)In the last decades, the effects of global warming combined with growing anthropogenic activities have caused a mismatch in the water supply-demand, resulting in a negative impact on numerous Mediterranean rivers regime ...
