The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO2) can enhance plant carbon uptake and growth1 5, thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing the rate of increase of the atmospheric CO2 ...
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ...
Evaluating integrated impacts of low-emission transitions in the livestock sector
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper provides the results of a combined qualitative and quantitative assessment of key impacts for two low-emission transition pathways for the Dutch livestock sector. These impacts or side-effects can be positive ...
The economics of climate change adptation and decision-making in cities: Barriers and opportunities across scales.
(2020-06-04)
A lo largo de cinco capítulos, esta tesis explora algunas de las cuestiones críticas entorno a la economíade la adaptación al cambio climático y a la toma de decisiones en ciudades. El Capítulo 2 explora estudios previos ...
Factors affecting energy-efficiency investment in the hotel industry: survey results from Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)
Increasing energy efficiency is a major way of saving energy and thus reducing energy expenses. However, adoption of energy efficiency is generally low, as demonstrated by the energy efficiency gap. To understand that gap, ...
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Sustainability, 2021)
The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ...
Ecological economics in the age of fear
(Elsevier, 2020)
Far right political movements are rising and seizing power in many influential countries, affecting not only the governance of democratic regimes but also the science-policy relationship and the global environmental agenda. ...
Assessing risks of low-carbon transition pathways
(Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, 2020)
A first chronology for the East Greenland Ice-core Project (EGRIP) over the Holocene and last glacial termination
(Climate of the Past, 2020)
This paper provides the first chronology for the deep ice core from the East Greenland Ice-core Project (EGRIP) over the Holocene and the late last glacial period. We rely mainly on volcanic events and common peak patterns ...
Coupling circularity performance and climate action: From disciplinary silos to transdisciplinary modelling science
(Sustainable Production and Consumption, 2022)
Technological breakthroughs and policy measures targeting energy efficiency and clean energy alone will not suffice to deliver Paris Agreement-compliant greenhouse gas emissions trajectories in the next decades. Strong ...
