Empirical and dynamic approaches for modelling the yield and N content of European grasslands
(Elsevier, 2019)
We applied two approaches to model grassland yield and nitrogen (N) content. The first was a series of regression equations; the second was the Century dynamic model. The regression model was generated from data from ...
Spatially explicit species distribution models: A missed opportunity in conservation planning?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Aim: Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. Due to incomplete species inventories, species distribution models ...
Emergence of new knowledge for climate change adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)
Decision-making for climate change adaptation requires an integrated and cross-sectoral approach to adequately capture the complexity of interconnected systems. More meaningful decisions can be taken in an arena where ...
The nexus between climate change, ecosystem services and human health: Towards a conceptual framework
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper addresses the impact that changes in natural ecosystems can have on health and wellbeing focusing on the potential co-benefits that green spaces could provide when introduced as climate change adaptation measures. ...
Exploring the usefulness of scenario archetypes in science-policy processes: Experience across IPBES assessments
(The Resilience Alliance, 2019)
Scenario analyses have been used in multiple science-policy assessments to better understand complex plausible futures. Scenario archetype approaches are based on the fact that many future scenarios have similar underlying ...
Fluvial sedimentary deposits as carbon sinks: Organic carbon pools and stabilization mechanisms across a Mediterranean catchment
(EGU Publications, 2019)
p'The role of fluvial sedimentary areas as organic carbon sinks remains largely unquantified. Little is known about mechanisms of organic carbon (OC) stabilization in alluvial sediments in semiarid and subhumid catchments ...
Social equity shapes zone-selection: Balancing aquatic biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services delivery in the transboundaryDanube River Basin
(Elsevier, 2019)
Freshwater biodiversity is declining, despite national and international efforts to manage and protect freshwater ecosystems. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has been proposed as an approach that could more efficiently ...
Ten lessons for good practice for the INHERIT triple win: Health, equity, and environmental sustainability
(MDPI, 2019)
The world s challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. ...
Restaurando la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas: La importancia de las interacciones entre especies
(AEET, 2019)
Restoration of natural ecosystems has traditionally focused on recovering specific richness to recover ecosystem functionality. However, species within a natural ecosystem are not isolated, they interact with others forming ...
Risk measures and the distribution of damage curves for 600 European coastal cities
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
A good understanding of climate change damages is vital to design effective adaptation policies and measures. Using a dataset of probabilistic sea-level rise and other of flood damages and protection cost curves for the ...
