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 ...
Lyapunov exponents for temporal networks
(Physical Review E, 2023)
By interpreting a temporal network as a trajectory of a latent graph dynamical system, we introduce the concept of dynamical instability of a temporal network and construct a measure to estimate the network maximum Lyapunov ...
On the use of multicriteria decision analysis to formally integrate community values into ecosystem‐based freshwater management
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2018-12-05)
Freshwater ecosystems are essential to peoples' economic, cultural, and social well-being, yet are still among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Consequently, a plethora of recent regulations and policies seek ...
Participatory multi-criteria decision aid: Operationalizing an integrated assessment of ecosystem services
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)
Ongoing ecosystem alterations underscore the need for ecosystem service assessment to urgently enter policy-making. Participatory methods and a systematic inclusion of stakeholders are crucial yet underdeveloped cornerstones ...
(Dis) integrated valuation – Assessing the information gaps in ecosystem service appraisals for governance support
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)
The operational challenges of integrated ecosystem service (ES) appraisals are determined by study purpose, system complexity and uncertainty, decision-makers requirements for reliability and accuracy of methods, and ...
The potential of ecosystem-based management to integrate biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision in aquatic ecosystems
(Science of the Total Environment, 2019)
Global aquatic biodiversity keeps declining rapidly, despite international efforts providing a variety of policies and legislations that identify goals for, and give directions to protecting the world's aquatic fauna and ...
Temperature Dependence of the Hyperfine Magnetic Field at Fe Sites in Ba-Doped BiFeO3 Thin Films Studied by Emission Mössbauer Spectroscopy
(MDPI, 2023-04-25)
Emission 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy (eMS), following the implantation of radioactive 57Mn+ ions, has been used to study the temperature dependence of the hyperfine magnetic field at Fe sites in Ba-doped BiFeO3 (BFO) thin ...
An electroactive and thermo-responsive material for the capture and release of cells
(Elsevier, 2021-06-05)
Non-invasive collection of target cells is crucial for research in biology and medicine. In this work, we combine a thermo-responsive material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), with an electroactive material, poly(3,4-ethyle ...
Enzymatic upgrading of nanochitin using an ancient lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-15)
Numerous enzymes have the potential to upgrade biomass, converting it into high-tech materials for new applications. However, the features of natural enzymes often limit their use beyond chemical conversion of the substrate. ...
Analysing the impact of climate change on hydrological ecosystem services in laguna del sauce (Uruguay) using the swat model and remote sensing data
(Remote Sensing, 2021-05-20)
Assessing how climate change will affect hydrological ecosystem services (HES) provision is necessary for long-term planning and requires local comprehensive climate information. In this study, we used SWAT to evaluate the ...
