Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ...
Evaluation of habitat protection under the European Natura 2000 conservation network The example for Germany
(PLoS One, 2018)
The world´s largest network of protected areas Natura 2000 (N2000) has been implemented to protect Europe´s biodiversity. N2000 is built upon two cornerstones, the Birds Directive, which lists 691 bird species (plus one ...
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 ...
Addendum to Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
This addendum adds to the analysis presented in Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities Abadie et al (2017 Environ. Res. Lett . 12 [https://doi.org/10.1088 ...
Reconciling global-model estimates and country reporting of anthropogenic forest CO 2 sinks
(Springer, 2018)
Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement requires forest-based mitigation. Collective progress towards this goal will be assessed by the Paris Agreement s Global stocktake. At present, there is a ...
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 ...
Stakeholders perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies
(Elsevier, 2018)
The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners perspectives on the practical implementation ...
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(Elsevier, 2018)
Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ...
Elevated CO2 did not affect the hydrological balance of a mature native Eucalyptus woodland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)
Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCa) might reduce forest water-use, due to decreased transpiration, following partial stomatal closure, thus enhancing water-use efficiency and productivity at low water availability. ...
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 ...
