Pricing policies for efficient demand side management in liberalized electricity markets
(Economic Modelling, 2023)
International experience has shown that electricity consumers react to pricing policies by switching retailers or shifting part of their consumption from peak to off-peak hours. This behavior has a direct effect on the ...
Increasing crop richness and reducing field sizes provide higher yields to pollinator-dependent crops
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2023)
Agricultural landscapes cover >60% of terrestrial landscapes. While biodiversity conservation and crop productivity have been seen as mutually exclusive options for a long time, recent research suggests that agricultural ...
Distance and Regional Effects on the Value of Wild Bee Conservation
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2023)
Many wild bee species are threatened across Europe, and with them the pollination function they provide. While numerous studies have assessed the value of bees as pollinators of crops, little is known about the non-marked ...
Effectiveness of monetary information in promoting the purchase of energy-efficient appliances: Evidence from a field experiment in Spain
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2023)
The effectiveness of energy labels is crucial in nudging the adoption of energy-efficient products. Here we analyse how providing monetary information on the cost of energy affects the purchases of energy-efficient appliances. ...
Global mapping of urban nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation
(Nature Sustainability, 2023)
Many cities around the world are experimenting with nature-based solutions (NbS) to address the interconnected climate-, biodiversity- and society-related challenges they are facing (referred to as the climate–biodiversi ...
Combined artificial intelligence, sustainable land management, and stakeholder engagement for integrated landscape management in Mediterranean watersheds
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2023)
In the context of water scarcity, soil erosion, and biodiversity decline, the Mediterranean basin urges to manage its nearly hundred coastal watersheds in a coordinated manner. To this end, we propose an integrated approach ...
Comparable GHG emissions from animals in wildlife and livestock-dominated savannas
(npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023)
Pastoralism in Old World savannas is known to emit a significant share of global livestock-sourced greenhouse gases (GHG). Here, we compare calculated emissions from animals in a wildlife-dominated savanna (14.3 Mg km−2), ...
NonParRolCor: An R package for estimating rolling correlation for two regular time series
(SoftwareX, 2023)
The R package NonParRolCor estimates rolling window correlations between two regular time series. The statistical significance estimated for the rolling correlation coefficients addresses effects due to multiple testing. ...
Connected Conservation: Rethinking conservation for a telecoupled world
(Biological Conservation, 2023)
The convergence of the biodiversity and climate crises, widening of wealth inequality, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the urgent need to mobilize change to secure sustainable futures. Centres of tropical ...
Ensuring a just energy transition: A distributional analysis of diesel tax reform in Spain with stakeholder engagement
(Energy Policy, 2023)
Despite the consensus that green taxation is an effective way to accelerate the decarbonization of economies, few countries are implementing ambitious tax reforms. This is the case of diesel for transport in Spain. The ...
