Double accounting in energy footprint and related assessments: How common is it and what are the consequences?
(ENERGY, 2021)
The number of input-output assessments focused on energy has grown considerably in the last years. Many of these assessments combine data from multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases with energy extensions that ...
A simple model for the effect of thermal stress on the productivity of small ruminants
(Livestock Science, 2021)
Projected climatic changes are expected to change temperature and precipitation patterns and to increase the frequency of extreme events in many regions of the world. This will affect livestock systems through direct effects ...
On flexible hydropower and security of supply: Spain beyond 2020
(Elsevier, 2020)
Generation adequacy is a key ingredient to security of electricity supply (SoS). Some national plans envisage a future decrease in the number of coal-fired stations and an increase in renewable installed capacity. This ...
A game theory model to explore the role of cooperation and diversity in community food security: the case of Southern Malawi
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2020)
The Sustainable Development Goals aim at ending food insecurity by 2030. Therefore, civil society needs to understand the inherent complexities of both socio-economic and ecological dynamics and their interdependencies. ...
Guidelines for small ruminant production systems under climate emergency in Europe
(SMALL RUMINANT RESEARCH, 2020)
Projected climate change will involve an additional threat for the sustainability of small ruminant production systems in Europe. Aiming to understand its implications, we conducted a literature review on climate change ...
The potential land requirements and related land use change emissions of solar energy
(Nature, 2021-02-03)
Although the transition to renewable energies will intensify the global competition for land, the potential impacts driven by solar energy remain unexplored. In this work, the potential solar land requirements and related ...
Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)
Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle given the inherent complexity of ...
Unravelling Antarctica’s past through the stratigraphy of a deep ice core: an image-analysis study of the EPICA-DML line-scan images
(Elsevier, 2020)
Polar ice research has undergone great progress in the last six decades. One of its recent technological achievements has been the development of new techniques for digital image recording and analysis of ice-core stratigraphy ...
An update of IPCC climate reference regions for subcontinental analysis of climate model data: definition and aggregated datasets
(Earth System Science Data, 2020)
Several sets of reference regions have been used in the literature for the regional synthesis of observed and modelled climate and climate change information. A popular example is the series of reference regions used in ...
Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ...
