Sediment Respiration Pulses in Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)
Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) may represent over half the global stream network, but their contribution to respiration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is largely undetermined. In particular, little ...
The long-term restoration of ecosystem complexity
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2020-05-01)
Multiple large-scale restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restoration often remains insufficient to offset that loss. To address this challenge, ...
Gendered differences in crop diversity choices: A case study from Papua New Guinea
(World Development, 2021-01-01)
Crop choice, including the conservation of traditional crops and the uptake of novel ones, is a central issue in agricultural development. This paper examines differences between male and female farmers motivations for ...
Guidelines for modeling and reporting health effects of climate change mitigation actions
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2020-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Modeling suggests that climate change mitigation actions can have substantial human health benefits that accrue quickly and locally. Documenting the benefits can help drive more ambitious and health-protective ...
KEYLINK: Towards a more integrative soil representation for inclusion in ecosystem scale models. I. review and model concept
(PeerJ, 2020-01-01)
The relatively poor simulation of the below-ground processes is a severe drawback for many ecosystem models, especially when predicting responses to climate change and management. For a meaningful estimation of ecosystem ...
Holm oak decline is determined by shifts in fine root phenotypic plasticity in response to belowground stress
(Wiley, 2022-09)
Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown-level changes in response to these stressful conditions have ...
The biodiversity and ecosystem service contributions and trade-offs of forest restoration approaches
(Science, 2022)
Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery across different restoration approaches. ...
Environmental evolution of the Basque Coast Geopark estuaries (southern Bay of Biscay) during the last 10,000 years
(Journal of Marine Systems, 2021-07-01)
In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution of the Deba and Urola estuaries located in the Basque Coast Geopark at millennial, centennial and decadal timescales, four long boreholes, three short cores and twelve ...
From consultation toward co-production in science and policy: A critical systematic review of participatory climate and energy initiatives
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2021-03-01)
In recent decades, co-production has become a cornerstone both in science and policy-making, motivating further collaboration between different actors. To scrutinize such participatory processes within the climate and ...
Climate Change Perceptions and Adaptations among Smallholder Farmers in the Mountains of Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
(Land, 2002)
The warming rates in many mountain areas are higher than the global average, negatively impacting crop systems. Little is known about the climatic changes which are already being observed in eastern Democratic Republic ...
