Ecosystem-based management planning across aquatic realms at the Ria de Aveiro Natura 2000 territory
(Elsevier, 2019)
Ria de Aveiro represents a coastal territory, in which its natural capital, mostly classified under a Natura 2000 network of protected areas, is of paramount importance for the regional and national economy, supporting ...
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 ...
Floating matter: a neglected component of the ecological integrity of rivers
(Springer, 2019)
Floating matter (FM) is a pivotal, albeit neglected, element along river corridors contributing to their ecological integrity. FM consists of particulate matter of natural (e.g. wood, branches, leaves, seeds) and anthropogenic ...
Toward a normative land systems science
(Elsevier, 2019)
Science should provide solutions for societal transformations toward sustainability in the face of global environmental change. Land system science, as a systemic science focused on complex socio-ecological interactions ...
Unexplained hydrogen isotope offsets complicate the identification and quantification of tree water sources in a riparian forest
(EGU Publications, 2019)
We investigated plant water sources of an emblematic refugial population of Fagus sylvatica (L.) in the Ciron river gorges in south-western France using stable water isotopes. It is generally assumed that no isotopic ...
Empirical and dynamic approaches for modelling the yield and N content of European grasslands
(Elsevier, 2019)
We applied two approaches to model grassland yield and nitrogen (N) content. The first was a series of regression equations; the second was the Century dynamic model. The regression model was generated from data from ...
Spatially explicit species distribution models: A missed opportunity in conservation planning?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Aim: Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. Due to incomplete species inventories, species distribution models ...
Urban green space: creating a triple win for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity through behavior change
(MDPI, 2019)
Urbanization, costs of green space maintenance, and diminishing connection between people and nature all exert pressures on urban green space. This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for ...
Social equity shapes zone-selection: Balancing aquatic biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services delivery in the transboundaryDanube River Basin
(Elsevier, 2019)
Freshwater biodiversity is declining, despite national and international efforts to manage and protect freshwater ecosystems. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has been proposed as an approach that could more efficiently ...
Ten lessons for good practice for the INHERIT triple win: Health, equity, and environmental sustainability
(MDPI, 2019)
The world s challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. ...
