Relevance for decision making of spatially explicit, participatory scenarios for ecosystem services in an area of a high current demand
(Elsevier, 2015-07-23)
Participatory ecosystem services scenarios can be used to inform decision making on the sustainable or wise use of biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ES). To establish the plausibility and coherency of the recently ...
Provisioning ecosystem services supply and demand: the role of landscape management to reinforce supply and promote synergies with other ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2015-03-14)
Currently, trade enables regions to have a higher provisioning ecosystem services (ES) demand than that provided by ecosystems in the same region. This practice leads to a supply and demand provisioning ES scale mismatch, ...
From the individual to the landscape and back: time-varying effects of climate and herbivory on tree sapling growth at distribution limits.
(Wiley, 2015-12-14)
1. As herbivory can modulate climate-induced shifts in species distribution, disentangling the relative importance of herbivory and climate on plant growth can help to predict and manage future changes in vegetation, such ...
Efficacy of management policies on protection and recovery of natural ecosystems in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve
(Natural Areas Association, 2011-10-01)
Knowledge of landscape patterns and dynamics is essential for land use planners and natural resources managers. They need to know how landscapes have changed in order to determine the consequences and efficacy of the ...
Mechanism of action of nitrification inhibitors based on dimethylpyrazole: A matter of chelation
(Elsevier, 2020-08-22)
In agriculture, the applied nitrogen (N) can be lost in the environment in different forms because of microbial transformations. It is of special concern the nitrate (NO3−) leaching and the nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, ...
Resilience to drought in a dry forest: insights from demographic rates
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Concern is rising on whether forest function and structure will recover from drought-related impacts, which are expected to increase under global warming. Understanding demographic mechanisms underlying resilience (i.e. ...
The green thorns of Ulex europaeus play both defensive and photosynthetic roles: consequences for predictions of the enemy release hypothesis
(Springer, 2022)
The widespread invasive success of Ulex europaeus, a thorny shrub native to NW Europe, remains to be understood from a functional perspec- tive. According to the Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH), lower pressure by vertebrate ...
Reduced growth sensitivity to water availability as potential indicator of drought-induced tree mortality risk in a Mediterranean Pinus sylvestris L. forest
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023)
Introduction: Drought-associated tree mortality has been increasing worldwide since the last decades, impacting structure and functioning of forest ecosystems, with implications for energy, carbon and water fluxes. However, ...
Growth and stable isotope signals associated with drought‐related mortality in saplings of two coexisting pine species
(Springer, 2013-06-25)
Drought-induced events of massive tree mortality appear to be increasing worldwide. Species-specific vulnerability to drought mortality may alter patterns of species diversity and affect future forest composition. We have ...
Uneven abundances determine nestedness in climbing plant-host interaction networks
(Elsevier, 2017)
Nestedness is a common pattern in interaction networks. However, its ecological and evolutionary meaning is under debate. Evidence shows that nestedness in mutualistic networks may be just a consequence of the species–abundance ...
