Are there gender differences in household carbon footprints? Evidence from Spain
(Ecological Economics, 2024-05-01)
Identifying the main drivers of the household carbon footprint (HCF) is a priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards a more sustainable economy. Among the multiple factors that explain the HCF, some ...
Deadwood density, C stocks and their controlling factors in a beech-silver fir mixed virgin European forest
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-07-01)
Deadwood is a fundamental structural and functional component of forests, with a crucial role in supporting forest biodiversity, nutrient and carbon cycling. Precise deadwood density estimates and its relation to environmental ...
Underrated past herbivore densities could lead to misoriented sustainability policies.
(npj Biodiversity, 2023-01-06)
Knowing the carrying capacity of the Earth’s grazed ecosystems, and the relevance of herbivory, is important for many scientific disciplines, as well as for policy. Current herbivore levels are estimated to be four to five ...
A global meta-analysis of the impacts of forest fragmentation on biotic mutualisms and antagonisms
(Conservation Biology, 2023)
Forest fragmentation is a grave threat to biodiversity. Forests are becoming increasingly fragmented with more than 70% now < 1 km from forest edge. Although much is known about the effects of forest fragmentation on ...
A data-driven approach to analyse the co-evolution of urban systems through a resilience lens: A Helsinki case study
(Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, 2024)
Urban areas are dynamic systems, in which different infrastructural, social and economic subsystems
continuously co-evolve. As such, disruptions in one system can propagate to another.
However, open challenges remain in ...
Decoupling between human development and energy consumption within footprint accounts
(Elsevier, 2018)
Historically, the growth of energy consumption has fuelled human development, but this approach is no longer socially and environmentally sustainable. Recent analyses suggest that some individual countries have responded ...
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ...
Declining water resources in the Anduña River Basin of Western Pyrenees: Land abandonment or climate variability?
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2024-06-01)
Study Region: Mountains play a crucial role in supplying water for consumption, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees exemplify a mountainous region ...
Quantifying the role of saltmarsh as a vulnerable carbon sink: A case study from Northern Portugal
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-05-01)
Saltmarshes play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, although they are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR). This study assessed the potential variation in Blue Carbon ...
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)
Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ...
