A conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of dry riverbeds through the lens of soil science
(Elsevier, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) encompass fluvial ecosystems that eventually stop flowing and run dry at some point in space and time. During the dry phase, channels of IRES consist mainly of dry riverbeds ...
Synergies and trade-offs of climate change mitigation policies: an integrative assessment approach
(2019-07-04)
The large degree of transformational change that would be necessary to limit global temperature change to 2°C would not only avoid dangerous climate change, but will affect societies in many more aspects. Depending how ...
Valuing a Natura 2000 network site to inform land use options using a discrete choice experiment: An illustration from the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2012)
One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is determining how to design and implement sustainable management plans that account ...
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by ...
Sediment Respiration Pulses in Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) may represent over half the global stream network, but their contribution to respiration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is largely undetermined. In particular, little ...
Impact and distribution of climatic damages: a methodological proposal with a dynamic CGE model applied to global climate negotiations
(Springer Nature, 2018)
The UNFCCC Paris Agreement, entered into force on 4 November 2016, represents a step forward in involving all countries in mitigation actions, even though it is based on a voluntary approach and lacks the active participation ...
Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient
(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 ...
Análisis de una reforma fiscal ambiental para España con devoluciones para todos los hogares
(Papeles De Economía Española, 2018)
In recent years, various international organizations have pointed out the importance of boosting energy-environmental taxation in Spain given its limited use today. In this paper we propose and analyze a reform or environmental ...
Social-ecological outcomes of agricultural intensification
(Nature Sustainability, 2018)
Land-use intensification in agrarian landscapes is seen as a key strategy to simultaneously feed humanity and use ecosystems sustainably, but the conditions that support positive social-ecological outcomes remain poorly ...
Fluvial geomorphological dynamics and land use changes: impact on the organic carbon stocks of soil and sediment
(Bosque, 2019)
The drainage basin of the Turrilla river (SE of Spain) went through important land cover changes since 1950s; from mainly an agrarian scenario in 1956 to other depopulated and forested in 2015. This study analyzes the ...
