Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ... -
Mitigating the effects of omission errors on area and area change estimates
(Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020-01-01)Information on Earth's land surface and change over time has never been easier to obtain, but making informed decisions to manage land well necessitates that this information is accurate and precise. In recent years, due ... -
Model validity and transferability informing behavioral energy policies
(Energies, 2021-06-01)A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called ... -
Modeling regional effects of climate change on soil organic carbon in Spain
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science, 2018)Soil organic C (SOC) stock assessments at the regional scale under climate change scenarios are of paramount importance in implementing soil management practices to mitigate climate change. In this study, we estimated the ... -
Modeling the impacts of diffuse light fraction on photosynthesis in ORCHIDEE (v5453) land surface model
(Geoscientific Model Development, 2020)Aerosol- and cloud-induced changes in diffuselight have important impacts on the global land carbon cy-cle, as they alter light distribution and photosynthesis in veg-etation canopies. However, this effect remains ... -
Modeling the Links between Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and Human Wellbeing in the Context of Climate Change: Results from an Econometric Analysis on the European Forest Ecosystems
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)The paper conducts an empirical investigation on the complex relationship between biodiversity and the values of ecosystem goods and services that are supported by biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, aiming to produce ... -
Modeling trade-offs across carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and equity in the distribution of global REDD+ funds
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019)The program on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is one of the major attempts to tackle climate change mitigation in developing countries. REDD+ seeks to provide result-based incentives ... -
Modelling ecosystem services trade-offs in agricultural systems
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-02)*Agriculture is a source of provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services, and depends on them to function. *Reducing negative trade-offs and identifying potential synergies between ecosystem services demands a ... -
Modelling solid waste management solutions: The case of Campania, Italy
(Elsevier, 2018)The waste crisis in Campania has inspired a huge body of literature that has described its complex nature. Quantitative analysis in this regard provides useful insight into single aspects of the problem but from a static ... -
Modelling the Effect of Climate Change on Environmental Pollution Losses from Dairy Systems in the UK
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-20)So far, there has been strong emphasis on studying the impacts of climate change on agriculture in terms of changes in food production; however, there is increasing evidence that agricultural ecosystems (e.g. livestock) ... -
Moist and warm conditions in Eurasia during the last glacial of the Middle Pleistocene Transition
(Nature communications, 2023)The end of the Middle Pleistocene Transition (MPT, ~ 800-670 thousand years before present, ka) was characterised by the emergence of large glacial ice-sheets associated with anomalously warm North Atlantic sea surface ... -
Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan: an ESGAP assessment
(Sustainability Science, 2024-01-01)This paper assesses the environmental sustainability of Japan by applying the environmental sustainability gap (ESGAP) framework, which builds on the concepts of strong sustainability, critical natural capital, environmental ... -
More exposure opportunities for promoting freshwater conservation
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2021-12-01)Freshwater ecosystems have a higher percentage of threatened and extinct species than terrestrial or marine realms, but remain under-represented in conservation research and actions arguably as a consequence of less ... -
Motivational crowding effects in payments for ecosystem services: Exploring the role of instrumental and relational values
(People and Nature, 2022-04-01)Nature is perceived and valued in many different ways. Often, the types of values that are the most important to people depend on how they cognitively frame desirable human–nature relations. For instance, the value of ... -
Mountain sheep grazing systems provide multiple ecological, socio-economic, and food quality benefits
(Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2022)Pastoral systems face increasing pressure from competing global markets, food sector industrialization, and new policies such as Europe’s post-2020 Common Agriculture Policy. This pressure threatens the use of extensive ... -
Multi-level finance impacts on participation, inclusion, and equity: Bricolage and Fuzziness in NextGenerationEU-funded renaturing projects
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2024-06-01)We analyze a multi-level ad-hoc emergency fund (MAEF) – the European NextGenerationEU program – as an opportunity to advance ambitious municipal climate action. Presently, MAEF follow a vertical complex governance structure, ... -
Multi-temporal influence of vegetation on soil respiration in a droughtaffected forest
(SISEF, 2018)Aboveground plant activity influences fine roots and rhizosphere activity, which is reflected on soil respiration (SR). However, it is still unclear and poorly understood the nature of plant activity control over SR, ... -
Multilingualism for pluralising knowledge and decision making about people and nature relationships
(People and Nature, 2023)The need for a pluralistic approach to biodiversity conservation science and policy is increasingly being recognized. We argue that plural perspectives require multilingualism in the sources and processes. Unless the ... -
Multiple perspectives of resilience: A holistic approach to resilience assessment using cognitive maps in practitioner engagement
(Elsevier, 2020)Resilience has become a regulatory concept influencing investment decisions in the water and wastewater sector. However, current assessments predominantly focus on technical resilience and on engineering solutions. Here ... -
Nations’ water footprints and virtual water trade of wood products
(Advances in Water Resources, 2022)Several studies addressed the water footprint (WF) of countries and virtual water (VW) trade in agricultural and industrial products, but freshwater use associated with wood products has received little attention. Yet, ...
