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 ...
Quantifying the reductions in mortality from air-pollution by cancelling new coal power plants
(Energy and Climate Change, 2021)
Deep decarbonization paths to the 1.5 °C or 2 °C temperature stabilization futures require a rapid reduction in coal-fired power plants, but many countries are continuing to build new ones. Coal-fired plants are also a ...
Developing countries can adapt to climate change effectively using nature-based solutions
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Evidence on the effectiveness of climate change adaptation interventions in low- and middle-income countries has been rapidly growing in recent years, particularly in the agricultural and coastal sectors. Here we address ...
Rural livelihoods displacement and mal-adaptation due to large-scale modern irrigation in Navarre, Spain
(Elsevier, 2024)
The introduction and expansion of large-scale modern irrigation technology is often justified on the grounds of agricultural productivity and, more recently, climate change adaptation. However, the impacts of its accompanying ...
Mountain sheep grazing systems provide multiple ecological, socio-economic, and food quality benefits
(Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2022)
Pastoral systems face increasing pressure from competing global markets, food sector industrialization, and new policies such as Europe’s post-2020 Common Agriculture Policy. This pressure threatens the use of extensive ...
Ecological network complexity scales with area
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2022-03-01)
Assessing multiple values of nature in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans
(People and Nature, 2024-06-01)
Around the world, people express a variety of values of nature based on how they relate and interact with it. These values of nature, broadly classified as instrumental, intrinsic, and relational values, underlie environmental ...
Non-destructive optical indices to estimate isoprenoids with nutritional value in packed rocket and spinach
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
The quantification of phytochemicals with nutritional benefits relies on accuracy yet time-consuming, expensive and destructive methodologies. In contrast, optical indices widely employed in disciplines such as ecology can ...
An interdisciplinary overview of levee setback benefits: Supporting spatial planning and implementation of riverine nature-based solutions
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2024-01-01)
Nature-based solutions (NbS, and related concepts like natural infrastructure, Ecosystem-based Adaptation, and green infrastructure) are increasingly recognized as multi-benefit strategies for addressing the critical ...
Subsidizing extensive cattle production in the European Union has major implications for global agricultural trade and climate change
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2024-04-05)
Pastureland maintenance is seen as a land-based measure to reduce dependency on feed concentrates and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock production in the EU, while providing other ecosystems services. ...
