Last glacial hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula not just driven by ITCZ shifts
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)
We reconstructed hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula (YP) based on stalagmite oxygen and carbon isotope records from a well-studied cave system located in the northeastern YP, a region strongly influenced by ...
The role of forests in the EU climate policy: are we on the right track?
(Carbon Balance and Management, 2023-12-01)
Background: The European Union (EU) has committed to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This requires a rapid reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ensuring that any remaining emissions are balanced through CO2 ...
Use, value, and desire: ecosystem services under agricultural intensification in a changing landscape in West Kalimantan (Indonesia)
(Regional Environmental Change, 2023-12-01)
A fundamental challenge is to understand and navigate trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) in dynamic landscapes and to account for interactions between local people and broad-scale drivers, such as agricultural ...
Herbivory baseline estimates in Spanish protected areas, and environmental implications
(Landscape Ecology, 2023-12-01)
Context: There are no estimations of herbivory baselines in Spain. Due to the bioclimatic conditions, ungulates have maintained Open Ecosystems until the Holocene. Pastoral tradition later fulfilled the niche of wild ...
Exploring the relationship between plural values of nature, human well-being, and conservation and development intervention: Why it matters and how to do it?
(People and Nature, 2023-12-01)
Globally, land and seascapes across the bioculturally diverse tropics are in transition. Impacted by the demands of distant consumers, the processes of global environmental change and numerous interventions seeking climate, ...
Quality of urban climate adaptation plans over time
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)
Defining and measuring progress in adaptation are important questions for climate adaptation science, policy, and practice. Here, we assess the progress of urban adaptation planning in 327 European cities between 2005 and ...
Luxury and legacy effects on urban biodiversity, vegetation cover and ecosystem services
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)
Socio-economic and historical drivers shape urban nature distribution and characteristics, as luxury (wealth-related) and legacy (historical management) effects. Using remote sensing and census data on biodiversity and ...
Are risk attitude, impatience, and impulsivity related to the individual discount rate? Evidence from energy-efficient durable goods
(Theory and Decision, 2024-01-01)
Discounting is a manifestation of behavioral impulsivity, which is closely related to self-regulation processes. The decision-making process for intertemporal choices is governed by the inhibition of impulses, which can ...
Development of a low-temperature immersion microscopy technique for ice research
(Annals of Glaciology, 2024-01-01)
Perennial ice can be studied for many purposes, including paleoclimate records or rheological properties. For most of those purposes, the ice microstructure must be studied, often through optical microscopy. The aim of ...
Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan: an ESGAP assessment
(Sustainability Science, 2024-01-01)
This paper assesses the environmental sustainability of Japan by applying the environmental sustainability gap (ESGAP) framework, which builds on the concepts of strong sustainability, critical natural capital, environmental ...
