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 ... -
Hidden Energy Flow indicator to reflect the outsourced energy requirements of countries
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021-01-01)Globalisation and the outsourcing of industrial manufacturing from developed to less developed countries has an increasing effect on the national energy balances of most developed economies. The current standard metric ... -
Historical energy price shocks and their changing effects on the economy
(Elsevier, 2017)The purpose of this paper is to identify the changes in the impact of energy shocks on economic activity with an interest in assessing if an economy's vulnerability and resilience to shocks improved with economic ... -
Holm oak decline and mortality exacerbates drought effects on soil biogeochemical cycling and soil microbial communities across a climatic gradient
(Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020)The extent to which the increasingly frequent episodes of drought-induced tree decline and mortality could alter key soil biogeochemical cycles is unclear. Understanding this connection between tree decline and mortality ... -
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 ... -
Holocene sea-level database from the Atlantic coast of Europe
(Elsevier, 2018)High-quality relative sea-level (RSL) data reveal spatial and temporal variations in crustal movements during the Holocene, which are used for many applications, ranging from calibrating models of earth rheology and ice ... -
Homeostatic Response to Three Years of Experimental Warming Suggests High Intrinsic Natural Resistance in the Páramos to Warming in the Short Term
(Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021)Páramos, tropical alpine ecosystems, host one of the world s most diverse alpine floras, account for the largest water reservoirs in the Andes, and some of the largest soil carbon pools worldwide. It is of global importance ... -
Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland
(MDPI, 2018)The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes. We analyzed over ... -
How are cities planning to respond to climate change? Assessment of local climate plans from 885 cities in the EU-28
(Elsevier, 2018)The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature rise this century to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. This target has wide-ranging implications for Europe and its cities, which are the source of ... -
How can we all help conserve nature?
(Frontiers for Young Minds, 2019)When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment. We asked an international group of scientists working ... -
How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ... -
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ... -
How regulating and cultural services of ecosystems have changed over time in Italy
(One Ecosystem, 2022)In this experimental study, different components are computed for three different ecosystem services (ES). Specifically, supply, demand and use are estimated for pollination service, flood risk regulation service and ... -
How to achieve a healthier and more sustainable europe by 2040 according to the public? Results of a five-country questionnaire survey
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020-08-20)The aim of this paper is to understand public preferences for several future scenarios of achieving a healthier, more equitable and sustainable Europe, which differ in the way the society is organized (individualistically ... -
How to Get Coal Country to Vote for Climate Policy: The Effect of a Just Transition Agreement on Spanish Election Results
(American Political Science Review, 2023-01-01)Enacting stringent climate policy has proven politically challenging, not least because of concentrated losses in fossil fuel-producing communities. Just transition strategies have been proposed to mitigate this distributional ... -
How to get commuters out of private cars? Exploring the role of perceived social impacts in mode choice in five European countries
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2022)Shifting away from private vehicle use in urban areas is a necessary step in the decarbonisation of mobility. A thorough understanding of the determinants of travel mode choice is paramount for developing policies that can ... -
How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
(CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -
Human dependence on natural resources in rapidly urbanising South African regions
(IOP Publishing, 2019)Enhancing the governance of social-ecological systems for more equitable and sustainable development is hindered by inadequate knowledge about how different social groups and communities rely on natural resources. We used ... -
IAOx induces the SUR phenotype and differential signalling from IAA under different types of nitrogen nutrition in Medicago truncatula roots
(Plant Science, 2019-10-01)Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) is a particularly relevant molecule as an intermediate in the pathway for tryptophan-dependent auxin biosynthesis. The role of IAOx in growth-signalling and root phenotype is poorly studied in ...
