Subaltern forms of knowledge are required to boost local adaptation
(One Earth, 2021-06-18)
Evidence shows that current adaptation planning approaches are not always successful in generating actionable knowledge to guide implementation on the ground. There remains a persistent disconnect between the production ...
Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems
(Journal of Ecology, 2021-08-01)
Ensuring stable food supplies is a major challenge for the 21st century. There is consensus that increased food production is necessary, but not sufficient, to achieve food security, and that agriculture should also aim ...
Looking for orbital signals in stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen of belemnites from the Early Jurassic in the Basque Cantabrian basin through the smoothed Lomb-Scargle periodogram
(Estudios Geologicos, 2021-06-30)
The use of time series of stable isotopes obtained from fossilized samples of macrofossils, such as belemnites from the early Jurassic, until now, have not been used to explore whether these paleoindicators may have recorded ...
Evaluation of a cross-border electricity interconnection: The case of Spain-France
(Energy, 2021-10-15)
This paper focuses on the economics of a cross-border transmission interconnector. The domestic spot electricity price is modelled as a stochastic process with mean reversion and jumps; it also includes a deterministic ...
Culturally diverse expert teams have yet to bring comprehensive linguistic diversity to intergovernmental ecosystem assessments
(One Earth, 2021-02-19)
Multicultural representation is a stated goal of many global scientific assessment processes. These processes aim to mobilize a broader, more diverse knowledge base and increase legitimacy and inclusiveness of these ...
Covid, the Environment and Food Systems: Contain, Cope and Rebuild Better
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021-07-06)
The objective of this paper is to analyse impacts of COVID-19 on the nexus of food systems, the environment and sustainable development and propose ways for governments and international agencies to mitigate impacts in the ...
Beyond participation: How to achieve the recognition of local communities’ value-systems in conservation? Some insights from Mexico
(People and Nature, 2021-06-01)
In this article, we explore why conservation schemes that have positive outcomes through the participation of local communities cannot necessarily be deemed as just. We observe that recognition (understood as inclusion and ...
The Impact of U.S. Re-engagement in Climate on the Paris Targets
(Earth's Future, 2021)
The Paris Agreement seeks to combine international efforts to keep global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. Whilst current ambitions in many signatories are insufficient to achieve this goal, optimism prevailed in ...
Differences in temperature sensitivity and drought recovery between natural stands and plantations of conifers are species-specific
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-11-20)
Forests are being impacted by climate and land-use changes which have altered their productivity and growth. Understanding how tree growth responds to climate in natural and planted stands may provide valuable information ...
Agro-economic and socio-environmental assessments of food and virtual water trades of Iran
(Scientific Reports, 2021-12-01)
Ending hunger and ensuring food security are among targets of 2030 s SDGs. While food trade and the embedded (virtual) water (VW) may improve food availability and accessibility for more people all year round, the ...
