Protected areas to deliver biodiversity need management effectiveness and equity
(Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020)
It is widely recognized in science, policy, and practice that protected areas (PAs) that are equitably and effectively managed are essential for halting biodiversity loss. However, our understanding of the relationships ...
39 hints to facilitate the use of semantics for data on agriculture and nutrition
(Data Science Journal, 2020)
In this paper, we report on the outputs and adoption of the Agrisemantics Working Group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), consisting of a set of recommendations to facilitate the adoption of semantic technologies and ...
Quantifying regulating ecosystem services with increased tree densities on European Farmland
(Sustainability (switzerland), 2020)
Agroforestry systems have been compared to agricultural and forestry alternatives, providing a land-use solution for additional environmental benefits while maintaining similar levels of productivity. However, there is ...
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(Biogeosciences, 2020)
The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ...
Allometric biomass models for european beech and silver fir: Testing approaches to minimize the demand for site-specific biomass observations
(Forests, 2020)
In this paper, site-specific allometric biomass models were developed for European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) to estimate the aboveground biomass in Sinca virgin forest, Romania. Several ...
A multiple-uncertainty analysis framework for integrated assessment modelling of several sustainable development goals
(Elsevier, 2020)
This research introduces a two-level integration of climate-economy modelling and portfolio analysis, to simulate technological subsidisation with implications for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), across ...
Climate change and heatwaves in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)
In this paper we analyse the probabilistic behaviour of heatwaves (HWs) in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country (Bayonne, Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian) in the twentyfirst century. We estimate HW behaviour ...
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
(Elsevier, 2020)
The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ...
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on 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 ...
