Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
(Ecosystem Services, 2020)
We present methods and results of country-based natural capital assessments for four ecosystem services (ES) in Italy. The spatial mapping and the assessment have been carried out in both physical and monetary terms for ...
Ecosystem transpiration and evaporation: Insights from three water flux partitioning methods across FLUXNET sites
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)
We apply and compare three widely applicable methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration (T) from eddy covariance (EC) data across 251 FLUXNET sites globally. All three methods are based on the coupled water and carbon ...
Natural insurance as condition for market insurance: Climate change adaptation in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper focuses on the potential use of insurance as a climate change adaptation mechanism in agriculture. We analyse the attractiveness of a climate risk insurance scheme and the choices farmers face between adaptation ...
Operationalizing risk-based cumulative effect assessments in the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2020)
Ecosystem-based management requires an assessment of the cumulative effects of human pressures and environmental change. The operationalization and integration of cumulative effects assessments (CEA) into decision-making ...
Three sides to every story: Gender perspectives in energy transition pathways in Canada, Kenya and Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social and gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit and unexplored. As a corrective, this paper ...
Carbon footprint, municipality size and rurality in Spain: Inequality and carbon taxation
(Elsevier, 2020)
By using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output model, this paper analyses the Spanish households carbon footprint for the 2008 2017 period considering the municipality size as well as the urban or rural ...
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 ...
