Uncertainties in the value and opportunity costs of pollination services
(British Ecological Society, 2019)
Pollination is an ecosystem service that directly contributes to agricultural production, and can therefore provide a strong incentive to conserve natural habitats that support pollinator populations. However, we have yet ...
Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain
(IAEE, 2019)
Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to
get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date,
however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental
...
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)
Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ...
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)
The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ...
Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ...
Early-warning signals of individual tree mortality based on annual radial growth
(Frontiers, 2019)
Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to ...
Powering newly constructed vessels to comply with ECA regulations under fuel market prices uncertainty: Diesel or dual fuel engine?
(Elsevier, 2019)
Over the last decade, marine engine engineering has evolved considerably, to the point where engine technology can be considered mature and reliable using LNG as fuel without affecting safety at sea. This paper analyses ...
Incorporating non-stomatal limitation improves the performance of leaf and canopy models at high vapour pressure deficit
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response to increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result in significant reductions ...
The socioeconomic future of deltas in a changing environment
(Elsevier, 2019)
Deltas are especially vulnerable to climate change given their low-lying location and exposure to storm surges, coastal and fluvial flooding, sea level rise and subsidence. Increases in such events and other circumstances ...
Recuperación de las interacciones entre el haya (Fagus sylvatica) y los hongos ectomicorrícicos 140 años después del fin de la actividad minera
(AEET, 2019)
Even the increasing use of restoration, it does not always imply a shortterm answer in ecosystems that guarantees the recovery of their structure, functions, and services. So far, most studies evaluating ecosystem recovery ...
