Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ... -
La importancia de la eficiencia energética: evidencia reciente para España
(Papeles de Economía Española, 2022-12-05)The IPCC report shows that there is a gap between the need to achieve net GHG emissions by 2050, and what has been promised by political leaders. In this context, energy efficiency can play a key role in promoting ... -
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ... -

Incorporating non-stomatal limitation improves the performance of leaf and canopy models at high vapour pressure deficit
(Oxford University Press, 2019)Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response to increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result in significant reductions ... -
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 ... -
Indicators for relational values of nature s contributions to good quality of life: the IPBES approach for Europe and Central Asia
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)Relational values are values of desirable relationships between people and nature and among people (through nature). We report on the approach to capture relational values of nature s contributions to people in the regional ... -
Indirect interactions between pollinators drive interaction rewiring through space
(Ecosphere, 2023-06-01)In recent years, an extended body of literature has focused on the importance of either temporal or spatial dynamics in shaping the structure of interacting plant and pollinator communities. This improvement from a previously ... -
Influence of farm diversity on nitrogen and greenhouse gas emission sources from key European dairy cattle systems: A step towards emission mitigation and nutrient circularity
(Agricultural Systems, 2024)European dairy cattle production systems (DPS) are facing multiple challenges that threaten their social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In this context, it is crucial to implement options to promote the ... -
Influence of methodological choices in farm sustainability assessments: A word of caution from a case study analysis of European dairy farms
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2024-06-01)In a context where sustainability assessments are increasingly popular, this perspective article discusses the influence of methodological choices on measurements of farm sustainability. We build the argumentation on the ... -
Influence of precision livestock farming on the environmental performance of intensive dairy goat farms
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022-06-01)The implementation of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concepts has been pointed out as an indirect strategy that could potentially help mitigating the environmental impacts of livestock production systems. To date, few ... -
Information, Experience, and Willingness to Mitigate Mental Health Consequences From Flooding Through Collective Defence
(Water Resources Research, 2022-04-01)Demand for reducing mental health impacts from flooding through collective flood defence is elicited using a contingent valuation method with a sequential hypothetical scenario, which accounts for human resilience and ... -
Insights on the economic estimates of the climate costs of the aviation sector due to air management in 2018-19
(Dyna (Spain), 2021-07-20)Air navigation service providers ensure that aircrafts keep safely apart by prescribing vertical and horizontal distances to each other. In the European Union and its associated members, regulation is carried out via a ... -
Insights on urban and periurban adaptation strategies based on stakeholders' perceptions on hard and soft responses to climate change
(MDPI, 2019)Adapting to expected impacts of climate change is a task shared by multiple institutions and individuals, but much of this work falls over local and regional authorities, which has made them experts over the issue. At the ... -
Institutional challenges in putting ecosystem service knowledge in practice
(Elsevier, 2018)The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on ecosystem services is actually used to inform land and water management in 22 case ... -
Institutionalisation of urban climate adaptation: three municipal experiences in Spain
(Buildings and Cities, 2022)Comparative studies of urban adaptation have evaluated the progress, means and scope of adaptation planning. Practice on the ground shows that the local politics of climate adaptation advance through various strategies to ... -
Integrated policy assessment and optimisation over multiple sustainable development goals in Eastern Africa
(IOP, 2019-08-20)Heavy reliance on traditional biomass for household energy in eastern Africa has significant negative health and environmental impacts. The African context for energy access is rather different from historical experiences ... -
Integrating belowground carbon dynamics into Yield-SAFE, a parameter sparse agroforestry model
(Springer, 2018)Agroforestry combines perennial woody elements (e.g. trees) with an agricultural understory (e.g. wheat, pasture) which can also potentially be used by a livestock component. In recent decades, modern agroforestry systems ... -
Integrating methods for ecosystem service assessment: Experiences from real world situations
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The Ecosystem Services (ES) concept highlights the varied contributions the environment provides to humans and there are a wide range of methods/tools available to assess ES. However, in real-world decision contexts a ... -
Integrating science and the arts to deglobalise climate change adaptation
(Nature Communications, 2024-12-12)Setting goals that are context-specific, relevant, and collectively shared is critical in adaptation. As necessary elements in target setting, imaginaries for adaptation and the language connected to them remain vague. ...
