Assessing nature-based solutions for transformative change
(One Earth, 2021-05-01)
Global sustainability targets demand transformative changes. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining traction in science and policy, but their potential for transformative change remains unexplored. We provide a framework ...
The role of land use and land cover change in climate change vulnerability assessments of biodiversity: a systematic review
(Landscape Ecology, 2021-12-01)
For many organisms, responses to climate change (CC) will be affected by land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC). However, the extent to which LULCC is concurrently considered in climate change vulnerability assessments ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: The SAPFLUXNET database
(Earth System Science Data, 2021-06-14)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Nations’ water footprints and virtual water trade of wood products
(Advances in Water Resources, 2022)
Several studies addressed the water footprint (WF) of countries and virtual water (VW) trade in agricultural and industrial products, but freshwater use associated with wood products has received little attention. Yet, ...
Effect of dairy cattle production systems on sustaining soil organic carbon storage in grasslands of northern Spain
(Regional Environmental Change, 2022)
Predicting the regional net greenhouse gas emissions (Net GHG) of grasslands is increasingly important, as these are one of the most globally widespread vegetation types, providing several ecosystem services. In this study, ...
Skippers' preferred adaptation and transformation responses to catch declines in a large-scale tuna fishery
(ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2022)
At first glance, large-scale fisheries may seem adaptable to climate change. Adaptation takes place from the governance to the individual level of fishers. At the individual level, skippers make day-to-day decisions on ...
Old wind farm life extension vs. Full repowering: A review of economic issues and a stochastic application for Spain
(Energies, 2021-06-02)
The installation of wind power technology is growing steadily and the trend can be expected to continue if the objectives proposed by the European Commission are to be achieved. In some countries a considerable percentage ...
Subaltern forms of knowledge are required to boost local adaptation
(One Earth, 2021-06-18)
Evidence shows that current adaptation planning approaches are not always successful in generating actionable knowledge to guide implementation on the ground. There remains a persistent disconnect between the production ...
CLIMATE CHANGE IN HIGH-MOUNTAIN REGIONS An international perspective and a look at the Pyrenees
(Metode, 2022)
High mountains are among the regions most affected by climate change. The complex network of interactions between climate, biological, and sociocultural structures in these regions is being altered by the changing climate. ...
Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems
(Journal of Ecology, 2021-08-01)
Ensuring stable food supplies is a major challenge for the 21st century. There is consensus that increased food production is necessary, but not sufficient, to achieve food security, and that agriculture should also aim ...
