Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient
(EGU Publications, 2018)Climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle are altering the quantity, quality, and temporal distribution of riverine discharge, necessitating a more rigorous consideration of changes in land cover and land use. This ... -
Land markets, Property rights, and Deforestation: Insights from Indonesia
(Elsevier, 2017)We examine the emergence of land markets and their effects on forest land appropriation by farm households in Jambi Province, Sumatra, using micro-level data covering land use and land transactions for a period of more ... -
Land-use practices (coppices and dehesas) and management intensity modulate responses of Holm oak growth to drought
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023-02-15)Last decades increase in reported events of drought-induced tree mortality evidences how climate-change is transforming forest ecosystems all over the world. The parallel increase in human pressure over the land is also ... -
Landforms of the lower Hushe Valley (Central Karakoram, Pakistan)
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-12-09)This paper presents a new geomorphological map for the lower Hushe Valley (below 3400 m asl), located to the SE of the Central Karakoram in Baltistan (North Pakistan). Fieldwork and remote sensing were combined to improve ... -
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(Springer, 2018)Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ... -
Large-scale Irrigation Impacts Socio-cultural Values: An Example from Rural Navarre, Spain
(Elsevier, 2019)Large-scale irrigation is a form of agricultural intensification aimed at increasing productivity and adapting to climate change. However, we know little about how large-scale irrigation affects socio-cultural values over ... -
Last glacial hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula not just driven by ITCZ shifts
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We reconstructed hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula (YP) based on stalagmite oxygen and carbon isotope records from a well-studied cave system located in the northeastern YP, a region strongly influenced by ... -
Legacies of past forest management determine current responses to severe drought events of conifer species in the Romanian Carpathians
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-01-10)Worldwide increases in droughts- and heat-waves-associated tree mortality events are destabilizing the future of many forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Along with climate, understanding the impact of the ... -
LEVELIZED COST OF ELECTRICITY: KEY DRIVERS AND VALUATION METHODS
(Dyna, 2019-11-15)The aim of this paper is to propose an improvement over traditional approaches to the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Basically there are two methods available. The first one considers a yearly timeframe, so it yields ... -
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability
(People and Nature, 2020-07-23)Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no ... -
Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality
(MDPI, 2019-08)Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of European beef production systems based on a farm-level optimization model
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022)The European Union (EU) is among the largest beef producers in the world. Besides the economic turnover, beef production causes adverse environmental impacts such as climate change. The sector is known for high heterogeneity ... -
Linking Land and Sea Through an Ecological-Economic Model of Coral Reef Recreation
(Ecological Economics, 2020-11-01)Coastal zones are popular recreational areas that substantially contribute to social welfare. Managers can use information about specific environmental features that people value, and how these might change under different ... -
Linking multisectoral economic models and consumption surveys for the European Union
(Economic Systems Research, 2020)Multisectoral models usually have a single representative household. However, more diversity of household types is needed to analyse the effects of multiple phenomena (i.e. ageing, gender inequality, distributional income ... -
Living through multispecies societies: Approaching the microbiome with Imanishi Kinji
(Endeavour, 2022)Recent research about the microbiome points to a picture in which we, humans, are ‘living through’ nature, and nature itself is living in us. Our bodies are hosting—and depend on—the multiple species that constitute human ... -
Local adaptation strategies to increase or maintain soil organic carbon content under arable farming in Europe: Inspirational ideas for setting operational groups within the European innovation partnership
(Journal of Rural Studies, 2020-10-01)In the European Union, the setting of Operational Groups (OG) is supported by the European Innovation Partnership to tackle specific problems and favor innovation in agriculture. They constitute an important aspect of the ... -
Local mortality impacts due to future air pollution under climate change scenarios
(Science of the Total Environment, 2022-06-01)... -
Local Observations of Climate Change and Adaptation Responses: A Case Study in the Mountain Region of Burundi-Rwanda
(Land, 2023)Mountain regions and their communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. However, little is known on the impacts observed and adaptation responses used in Burundi’s mountain region and if these are ... -
Local perceptions of ecosystem services across multiple ecosystem types in Spain
(Land, 2020)Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ... -
Long-term effectiveness of sustainable land management practices to control runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient loss and the role of rainfall intensity in Mediterranean rainfed agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2020)Mediterranean environments are especially susceptible to soil erosion and to inappropriate soil management, leading to accelerated soil loss. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices (such as reduced tillage, no-tillage, ...
