Freshwater megafauna diversity: Patterns, status and threats
(DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS, 2018)
Aim: Freshwater megafauna remain underrepresented in research and conservation, despite a disproportionately high risk of extinction due to multiple human threats. Therefore, our aims are threefold; (i) identify global ...
Dry deposition of air pollutants on trees at regional scale: A case study in the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2020)
There is increased interest in the role of trees to reduce air pollution and thereby improve human health and well-being. This study determined the removal of air pollutants by dry deposition of trees across the Basque ...
Reduce blue water scarcity and increase nutritional and economic water productivity through changing the cropping pattern in a catchment
(Elsevier, 2020)
Water-stressed countries need to plan their food security and reduce the pressure on their limited water resources. Agriculture, the largest water-using sector, has a major role in addressing water scarcity and food security ...
Alternative societal solutions to pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment
(JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION, 2020)
Environmental contamination with pharmaceuticals is widespread, inducing risks to both human health and the environment. This paper explores potential societal solutions to human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in the aquatic ...
A dynamic assessment of instrument interaction and timing alternatives in the EU low-carbon policy mix design
(ENERGY POLICY, 2018)
The European Union low-carbon strategy includes a range of complementary policies. Potential interactions between instruments and different timing of their implementation can influence the cost and likelihood of achieving ...
Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ...
Fresh perspectives for classic forest restoration challenges
(Society for Ecological Restoration, 2020)
Restoration ecology is a young scientific discipline whose limitations can compromise the recovery of ecosystem biodiversity and functions. Specifically for limitations on forest restoration, we first recommend considering ...
An explanation for the isotopic offset between soil and stem water in a temperate tree species
(New Phytologist Trust, 2020)
A growing number of field studies report isotopic offsets between stem water and its potential sources that prevent the unambiguous identification of plant water origin using water isotopes. We explored the causes of this ...
Future impacts of ozone driven damages on agricultural systems
(Elsevier, 2020)
Current ozone (O3) concentration levels entail significant damages in crop yields around the world. The reaction of the emitted precursors (mostly methane and nitrogen oxides) with solar radiation contribute to O3 levels ...
Who bears the burden of greening electricity?
(Energy Economics, 2022)
Faced with the threat of climate change many countries are promoting renewable energies to decarbonize their energy system. A common policy to foster electricity from renewable energy sources are feed-in tariffs which are ...
