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 ...
Historical energy price shocks and their changing effects on the economy
(Elsevier, 2017)
The purpose of this paper is to identify the changes in the impact of energy shocks on economic activity with an interest in assessing if an economy's vulnerability and resilience to shocks improved with economic ...
Border Carbon Adjustments Based on Avoided Emissions: Addressing the Challenge of Its Design
(Elsevier, 2018)
Carbon pricing is an essential instrument to address climate change. However international differences in carbon control policies may cause not only carbon leakage but also competitiveness disadvantages. In this context, ...
Recovery of lakes and coastal marine ecosystems from eutrophication: A global meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2017)
In order to inform policies aimed at reducing nutrient emissions to surface waters, it is essential to understand how aquatic ecosystems respond to eutrophication management. Using data from 89 studies worldwide, we examined ...
A global review of past land use, climate, and active vs. passive restoration effects on forest recovery
(PloS One, 2017)
Global forest restoration targets have been set, yet policy makers and land managers lack guiding principles on how to invest limited resources to achieve them. We conducted a meta-analysis of 166 studies in naturally ...
Anthropogenic ecosystem disturbance and the recovery debt
(Nature, 2017)
Ecosystem recovery from anthropogenic disturbances, either without human intervention or assisted by ecological restoration, is increasingly occurring worldwide. As ecosystems progress through recovery, it is important to ...
Elevated CO2 did not affect the hydrological balance of a mature native Eucalyptus woodland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)
Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCa) might reduce forest water-use, due to decreased transpiration, following partial stomatal closure, thus enhancing water-use efficiency and productivity at low water availability. ...
Modeling regional effects of climate change on soil organic carbon in Spain
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science, 2018)
Soil organic C (SOC) stock assessments at the regional scale under climate change scenarios are of paramount importance in implementing soil management practices to mitigate climate change. In this study, we estimated the ...
International trade and the distribution of economy-wide benefits from the disbursement of climate finance
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)
In the framework of recent international climate negotiations, industrialized countries have committed to transfer at least USD 100 billion per year to developing countries from 2020. Climate finance has become the subject ...
Competitive ability, stress tolerance and plant interactions along stress gradients
(Ecological Society of America, 2018)
Exceptions to the generality of the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) may be reconciled by considering species-specific traits and stress tolerance strategies. Studies have tested stress tolerance and competitive ability ...
