Ten lessons for good practice for the INHERIT triple win: Health, equity, and environmental sustainability
(MDPI, 2019)
The world s challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. ...
Restaurando la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas: La importancia de las interacciones entre especies
(AEET, 2019)
Restoration of natural ecosystems has traditionally focused on recovering specific richness to recover ecosystem functionality. However, species within a natural ecosystem are not isolated, they interact with others forming ...
Risk measures and the distribution of damage curves for 600 European coastal cities
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
A good understanding of climate change damages is vital to design effective adaptation policies and measures. Using a dataset of probabilistic sea-level rise and other of flood damages and protection cost curves for the ...

Taxing air pollutants and carbon individually or jointly: results from a CGE model enriched by an emission abatement sector
(The International Input Output Association, 2019)
We analyse the separate and collective impacts of emissions taxation to understand the internalisation effects of externalities. The analysis is carried out using a static computable general equilibrium model, with ...
Interactive effects of forest die-off and drying-rewetting cycles on C and N mineralization
(Elsevier, 2019)
Mediterranean forests will experience more frequent and intense drought periods and extreme rainfall events in the coming decades. Concomitantly, drought-induced forest die-off is likely to increase. Changes in rainfall ...
How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)
Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ...
The Role and Need for Space-Based Forest Biomass-Related Measurements in Environmental Management and Policy
(Springer, 2019)
The achievement of international goals and national commitments related to forest conservation and management, climate change, and sustainable development requires credible, accurate, and reliable monitoring of stocks and ...
A novel optimization approach incorporating non-stomatal limitations predicts stomatal behaviour in species from six plant functional types
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO 2 assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced ...
Stochastic diffusion models to describe the evolution of annual heatwave statistics: A three-factor model with risk calculations
(Elsevier, 2019)
In view of risk assessments this paper proposes a stochastic diffusion model to characterise statistics of extreme events when climate- or environmental variables surpass critical thresholds. The proposed three-factor model ...
