Review of the reproductive ecology of the Mediterranean key species Pistacia lentiscus in the Anthropocene
(Ecosistemas, 2020-10-22)The mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L., Anacardiaceae) is one of the most abundant and characteristic shrubs in the Mediterranean basin. Its fruits, drupe type, are the main claim and food source of the wintering frugivores ... -
Risk blindness in local perspectives about the Alberta oil sands hinders Canada's decarbonization
(Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, 2021-09-01)Local perspectives can conflict with national and international climate targets. This study explores three stakeholder (community, provincial, and federal) perspectives on the Alberta oil sands as risks for a sustainability ... -
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 ... -
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
(Nature, 2023-07-06)The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked1–3, yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently4,5. Here, we ... -
Satellite remote sensing of ecosystem functions: Opportunities and challenges for reporting obligations of the EU habitat directive
(International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2018)... -
Satellite-based global maps are rarely used in forest reference levels submitted to the UNFCCC
(Environmental Research Letters, 2023)The Earth observation (EO) community is coordinating a range of activities in support of the Global Stocktake. One objective is to enhance the uptake of satellite-based global-scale maps (hereafter ‘EO products’) in national ... -
Scale dependency of ectomycorrhizal fungal community assembly processes in Mediterranean mixed forests
(Mycorrhiza, 2022)The assembly of biological communities depends on deterministic and stochastic processes whose influence varies across spatial and temporal scales. Although ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play a key role in forest ecosystems, ... -
Scarce population genetic differentiation but substantial spatiotemporal phenotypic variation of water-use efficiency in Pinus sylvestris at its western distribution range
(Springer, 2018)Water and carbon fluxes in forests are largely related to leaf gas exchange physiology varying across spatiotemporal scales and modulated by plant responses to environmental cues. We quantified the relevance of genetic and ... -
Scientific modelling can be accessible, interoperable and user friendly: A case study for pasture and livestock modelling in Spain
(PLoS ONE, 2023)This article describes the adaptation of a non-spatial model of pastureland dynamics, including vegetation life cycle, livestock management and nitrogen cycle, for use in a spatially explicit and modular modelling platform ... -
Sea level damage risk with probabilistic weighting of IPCC scenarios: An application to major coastal cities
(Elsevier, 2018)In some coastal cities there is an urgent need to decide on adaptation investments given the long periods needed to complete the relevant infrastructures. However such decisions are usually made under significant uncertainty ... -
Sea-level rise in the Basque coast, A probabilistic approach
(Ekonomiaz, 2018-01-01)Itsas mailaren gorakada aldaketa klimatikoaren mehatxu garrantzitsuenetarikoa da euskal kostaldearentzat. Artikulu honetan itsas-mailaren bataz besteko igoeraren esperotako balioa zenbatetsi dugu hamaika herritan, hiru ... -
Seasonal controlling factors of CO<inf>2</inf> exchange in a semiarid shrubland in the Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico
(Science of the Total Environment, 2023-02-01)The still significant uncertainties associated with the future capacity of terrestrial systems to mitigate climate change are linked to the lack of knowledge of the biotic and abiotic processes that regulate CO2 net ecosystem ... -
Securing Nature's Contributions to People requires at least 20%–25% (semi-)natural habitat in human-modified landscapes
(One Earth, 2024-01-19)The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems ... -
Sediment Respiration Pulses in Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) may represent over half the global stream network, but their contribution to respiration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is largely undetermined. In particular, little ... -
Set ambitious goals for biodiversity and sustainability
(SCIENCE, 2020-10-23)Global biodiversity policy is at a crossroads. Recent global assessments of living nature (1, 2) and climate (3) show worsening trends and a rapidly narrowing window for action. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ... -
Short communication: Application of site‐level assessment of governance and equity (sage) methodology to a candidate oecm: AndakÍ municipal natural park, caquetÁ, colombia.
(Parks, 2021-05-01)Governance is a fundamental aspect and precondition for conservation strategies, such as protected areas or OECMs. A methodology for Site-level Assessment of Governance and Equity (SAGE) has been proposed by IUCN to explore ... -
Short- and long-term warming effects of methane may affect the cost-effectiveness of mitigation policies and benefits of low-meat diets
(Nature Food, 2021)© 2021, The Author(s).Methane’s short atmospheric life has important implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. Three different agricultural economic models are used to explore ... -
Significant implications of permafrost thawing for climate change control
(Climatic Change, 2016-04-11)Large amounts of carbon are stored as permafrost within the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate warming, carbon dioxide and methane are released. Recent studies indicate that the pool of carbon ... -
Simplistic understandings of farmer motivations could undermine the environmental potential of the common agricultural policy
(LAND USE POLICY, 2021)The European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has failed to achieve its aim of preserving European farmland biodiversity, despite massive investment in subsidies to incentivise environmentally-beneficial farming ... -
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by ...
