Early-warning signals of individual tree mortality based on annual radial growth
(Frontiers, 2019)Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to ... -
Eating local and in-season fruits and vegetables: Carbon-water-employment trade-offs and synergies
(Ecological Economics, 2022-02-01)What would the effect on the employment and environmental footprint be if Spanish households substituted imported fresh fruits and vegetables with local production? Are the impacts similar over the entire year? Is it ... -
Ecological economics in the age of fear
(Elsevier, 2020)Far right political movements are rising and seizing power in many influential countries, affecting not only the governance of democratic regimes but also the science-policy relationship and the global environmental agenda. ... -

Economic Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Services Losses: Cost of Policy Inaction
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-13)This paper presents a bottom-up methodological framework for estimating some of the key ecosystem services provided by forests biomes worldwide. We consider the provision of wood and non-wood forest products, recreation ... -
Economic Efficiency, Environmental Effectiveness and Political Feasibility of Energy Efficiency Rebates: The Case of the Spanish Energy Efficiency 'Renove' Plan
Galarraga, Ibon; Abadie, Luis María; Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-02-02)
Energy labels are used to promote the purchase of efficient appliances. Many countries in Europe use subsidies (namely energy efficiency rebates) to support these purchases as it is the case of Spain. A figure ranging from ... -
Economic impacts of climate mitigation:Health co-benefits and agricultural impacts.
(2019-06-03)The transition to low carbon economies is one of the most urgent challenges society needs to face in order to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Every mitigation strategy requires the energy system ... -
Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services: Conflicts in Classification
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-01-14)Since the release of the Millennium Ecosystem Approach (MA), studies valuing ecosystem services have grown in the literature. As a consequence, different interpretations exist on the classification of services, and several ... -
Economic viability of the national-scale forestation program: The case of success in the Republic of Korea
(Elsevier, 2018)The forests in the Republic of Korea (ROK) successfully recovered through the national forestation program as did the ecosystem services associated with them. With this positive experience, it is instructive to investigate ... -
Economics of Energy and Climate Change: Origins, Developments and Growth
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-09-09)This paper briefly highlights some of the most influential ideas in the literature on the economics of energy and (energy-related) climate change. This paper will use bibliometric evidence to examine the trends in related ... -
Ecosystem service coproduction across the zones of biosphere reserves in Europe
(Ecosystems and People, 2021-09-06)Biosphere reserves (BR) balance biodiversity protection and sustainable use through different management restrictions in three zones: core areas, buffer zones, and transition areas. Information about the links between ... -
Ecosystem service mismatches evidence inequalities in urban heat vulnerability
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-04-20)Exposure to heat poses a pressing challenge in cities, with uneven health and environmental impacts across the urban fabric. To assess disparities in heat vulnerability and its environmental justice implications, we model ... -
Ecosystem services and nature's contribution to people: negotiating diverse values and trade-offs in land systems
(Elsevier, 2019)Land is increasingly managed to serve multiple societal demands. Beyond food, fiber, habitation, and recreation, land is now being called on to meet demands for carbon sequestration, water purification, biodiversity ... -
Ecosystem transpiration and evaporation: Insights from three water flux partitioning methods across FLUXNET sites
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)We apply and compare three widely applicable methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration (T) from eddy covariance (EC) data across 251 FLUXNET sites globally. All three methods are based on the coupled water and carbon ... -
Ecosystem-based management planning across aquatic realms at the Ria de Aveiro Natura 2000 territory
(Elsevier, 2019)Ria de Aveiro represents a coastal territory, in which its natural capital, mostly classified under a Natura 2000 network of protected areas, is of paramount importance for the regional and national economy, supporting ... -
Edge disturbance drives liana abundance increase and alteration of liana host tree interactions in tropical forest fragments
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Closed-canopy forests are being rapidly fragmented across much of the tropical world. Determining the impacts of fragmentation on ecological processes enables better forest management and improves species-conservation ... -
Editorial overview: Relational values: what are they, and what's the fuss about?
(Elsevier, 2018)Relational values as preferences, principles and virtues about human-nature relationships have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. The term has been used to include concepts and knowledge from a wide range ... -
