Periphyton biomass and life-form responses to a gradient of discharge in contrasting light and nutrients scenarios in experimental lowland streams
(Science of the Total Environment, 2022-02-01)
Climate-induced changes in precipitation and land-use intensification affect the discharge of streams worldwide, which, together with eutrophication and loss of riparian canopy, can affect periphyton biomass and composition, ...
Impact and distribution of climatic damages: a methodological proposal with a dynamic CGE model applied to global climate negotiations
(Springer Nature, 2018)
The UNFCCC Paris Agreement, entered into force on 4 November 2016, represents a step forward in involving all countries in mitigation actions, even though it is based on a voluntary approach and lacks the active participation ...
