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 ...
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 ...
A multi-model analysis of the EU's path to net zero
(Joule, 2023-12-20)
The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU's path, from ...
Influence of farm diversity on nitrogen and greenhouse gas emission sources from key European dairy cattle systems: A step towards emission mitigation and nutrient circularity
(Agricultural Systems, 2024)
European dairy cattle production systems (DPS) are facing multiple challenges that threaten their social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In this context, it is crucial to implement options to promote the ...
Three different directions in which the European Union could replace Russian natural gas
(Energy, 2024-03-01)
Russia's invasion of Ukraine fuelled an energy crisis, which considerably impacted Europe given its heavy reliance on Russian natural gas imports. This study uses an ensemble of four global integrated assessment models, ...
Adaption planning to climate change in industrial fisheries: Progress in the Basque tropical tuna fishery
(Marine Policy, 2024-03-01)
Climate change impacts on ocean living organisms and ecosystems have flow-on effects on fisheries and their associated values. Industrial fisheries operate long distance fleets that potentially have the capacity to respond ...
