Summer drought and spring frost, but not their interaction, constrain European beech and Silver fir growth in their southern distribution limits
(Elsevier, 2019)
Climate warming has lengthened the growing season by advancing leaf unfolding in many temperate tree species. However, an earlier leaf unfolding increases also the risk of frost damage in spring which may reduce tree radial ...
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 ...
Combining eight research areas to foster the uptake of ecosystem-based management in fresh waters
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Freshwater ecosystems are under a constant risk of being irreversibly damaged by human pressures that threaten their biodiversity, the sustainability of ecosystem services (ESs), and human well-being. Despite the implementation ...
Dynamic relationship analysis between NAFTA stock markets using nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods
(Springer Nature, 2019)
This paper seeks to investigate the dynamic relationship between daily stock market indices in NAFTA countries from 8 November 1991 to 16 March 2018, using for the first time nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods. ...
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 ...
Practical solutions for bottlenecks in ecosystem services mapping
(2018)
A selection of commonly encountered ES mapping bottlenecks that relate to seven themes: i) map-maker map-user interaction; ii) nomenclature and ontologies; iii) skills and background; iv) data and maps availability; v) ...
Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain
(IAEE, 2019)
Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to
get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date,
however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental
...
From principles to practice in paying for nature
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Payments for Environmental Services (PES) constitute an innovative economic intervention to counteract the global loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In theory, some appealing features should enable PES to perform ...
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)
Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ...
Is renewable energy a cost-effective mitigation resource? An application to the Spanish electricity market
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper evaluates the net effect of renewable energy policy in Spain from 2002 to 2017 and calculates its cost-effectiveness in terms of CO2 emission reductions in the production of electricity. Our conclusions indicate ...
