Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient
; ; Mariel Chladkova, Petr
; ; (EGU Publications, 2018)
Climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle are altering the quantity, quality, and temporal distribution of riverine discharge, necessitating a more rigorous consideration of changes in land cover and land use. This ... -
Land markets, Property rights, and Deforestation: Insights from Indonesia
(Elsevier, 2017)We examine the emergence of land markets and their effects on forest land appropriation by farm households in Jambi Province, Sumatra, using micro-level data covering land use and land transactions for a period of more ... -
Land-use practices (coppices and dehesas) and management intensity modulate responses of Holm oak growth to drought
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023-02-15)Last decades increase in reported events of drought-induced tree mortality evidences how climate-change is transforming forest ecosystems all over the world. The parallel increase in human pressure over the land is also ... -
Landforms of the lower Hushe Valley (Central Karakoram, Pakistan)
; Álvarez González, Irantzu; Aranburu Artano, Arantza ; Izagirre Estibaritz, Eñaut ; ; Morales Juberías, Tomás ; (Taylor & Francis, 2020-12-09)
This paper presents a new geomorphological map for the lower Hushe Valley (below 3400 m asl), located to the SE of the Central Karakoram in Baltistan (North Pakistan). Fieldwork and remote sensing were combined to improve ... -
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(Springer, 2018)Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ... -
Large-scale Irrigation Impacts Socio-cultural Values: An Example from Rural Navarre, Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)Large-scale irrigation is a form of agricultural intensification aimed at increasing productivity and adapting to climate change. However, we know little about how large-scale irrigation affects socio-cultural values over ... -
Last glacial hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula not just driven by ITCZ shifts
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We reconstructed hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula (YP) based on stalagmite oxygen and carbon isotope records from a well-studied cave system located in the northeastern YP, a region strongly influenced by ... -
Legacies of past forest management determine current responses to severe drought events of conifer species in the Romanian Carpathians
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-01-10)Worldwide increases in droughts- and heat-waves-associated tree mortality events are destabilizing the future of many forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Along with climate, understanding the impact of the ... -
Lessons from History for Transitions to a Low Carbon Economy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-01-25)Historical experiences can provide lessons for future transitions to a low carbon economy. Although often considered a single event, the transition from traditional energy sources to fossil fuels in the United Kingdom ... -
LEVELIZED COST OF ELECTRICITY: KEY DRIVERS AND VALUATION METHODS
(Dyna, 2019-11-15)The aim of this paper is to propose an improvement over traditional approaches to the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Basically there are two methods available. The first one considers a yearly timeframe, so it yields ... -
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability
(People and Nature, 2020-07-23)Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no ... -
Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality
Ruiz de Larrinaga, Lorena; Resco de Dios, Víctor; Fabrikov, Dmitri; Guil Guerrero, José Luis; Becerril Soto, José María; García Plazaola, José Ignacio ; Esteban Terradillos, Raquel (MDPI, 2019-08)
Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of European beef production systems based on a farm-level optimization model
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022)The European Union (EU) is among the largest beef producers in the world. Besides the economic turnover, beef production causes adverse environmental impacts such as climate change. The sector is known for high heterogeneity ... -
Lima COP20: Another small step on the long road to Paris
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-01)The Lima summit was not expected to achieve specific agreements on the reduction of emissions, but to establish the bases of a legal document to be agreed on at the next meeting in Paris (December 2015) and of the Intended ... -
Linking Land and Sea Through an Ecological-Economic Model of Coral Reef Recreation
(Ecological Economics, 2020-11-01)Coastal zones are popular recreational areas that substantially contribute to social welfare. Managers can use information about specific environmental features that people value, and how these might change under different ... -
Linking multisectoral economic models and consumption surveys for the European Union
(Economic Systems Research, 2020)Multisectoral models usually have a single representative household. However, more diversity of household types is needed to analyse the effects of multiple phenomena (i.e. ageing, gender inequality, distributional income ... -
Linking Reduced Deforestation and a Global Carbon Market: Impacts on Costs, Financial Flows, and Technological Innovation
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-07)Discussions of tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from ... -
