(Dis) integrated valuation – Assessing the information gaps in ecosystem service appraisals for governance support
(Ecosystem Services, 2018-02-01)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 ... -
Discounting the value of natural resources in costbenefit analysis: a case study for policy making
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-04-10)The issue of discounting (i.e. how future cost and benefits are valued today) plays a major role in policies with long-term effects on the natural environment, such as those required in a climate change context, or decisions ... -
Disentangling the Role of Forest Structure and Functional Traits in the Thermal Balance of the Mediterranean–Temperate Ecotone
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2023-06-01)The thermal balance of forests is the result of complex land–atmosphere interactions. Different climate regimes and plant functional types can have contrasting energy budgets, but little is known about the influence of ... -
Distance and Regional Effects on the Value of Wild Bee Conservation
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2023)Many wild bee species are threatened across Europe, and with them the pollination function they provide. While numerous studies have assessed the value of bees as pollinators of crops, little is known about the non-marked ... -
Distribution of responsibility for climate change within the milieu
(Philosophies, 2021-09-01)This article approaches the challenges of the distribution of responsibility for climate change on a local level using the framework of the milieu. It suggests that the framework of the milieu, inspired by Japanese and ... -
Distributional analysis of climate change mitigation policies
(2017-01-27)En los últimos años ha habido un creciente interés sobre la desigualdad así como sobre los análisis distributivos de las distintas políticas. La desigualdad también se ha convertido en uno de los principales temas de debate ... -
Divergences in the Long Run Trends in the Price of Energy and of Energy Services
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-03-03)This paper presents new evidence on the very long run trends in the price of energy and energy services, such as heat, power, transport and light. The paper has two purposes. First, it shows that, in general, there was an ... -
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
(Nature, 2023-08-24)Twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being1,2, addressing the global biodiversity crisis3 still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values ... -
DNA metabarcoding and spatial modelling link diet diversification with distribution homogeneity in European bats
(Nature, 2020-03-02)Inferences of the interactions between species' ecological niches and spatial distribution have been historically based on simple metrics such as low-resolution dietary breadth and range size, which might have impeded the ... -
Double accounting in energy footprint and related assessments: How common is it and what are the consequences?
(ENERGY, 2021)The number of input-output assessments focused on energy has grown considerably in the last years. Many of these assessments combine data from multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases with energy extensions that ... -
Drivers and spread of non-native pests in forests: The case of Gonipterus platensis in Spanish Eucalyptus plantations
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2022-04-15)... -
Dry deposition of air pollutants on trees at regional scale: A case study in the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2020)There is increased interest in the role of trees to reduce air pollution and thereby improve human health and well-being. This study determined the removal of air pollutants by dry deposition of trees across the Basque ... -
Dynamic relationship analysis between NAFTA stock markets using nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods
(Springer Nature, 2019)This paper seeks to investigate the dynamic relationship between daily stock market indices in NAFTA countries from 8 November 1991 to 16 March 2018, using for the first time nonlinear, nonparametric, non-stationary methods. ... -
Dynamic wavelet correlation analysis for multivariate climate time series
(Scientific Reports, 2020)The wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) is introduced for the first time in the study of climate dynamics inferred from multivariate climate time series. To exemplify the use of WLMC with real climate data, we analyse ... -
Early-warning signals of individual tree mortality based on annual radial growth
(Frontiers, 2019)Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to ... -
Eating local and in-season fruits and vegetables: Carbon-water-employment trade-offs and synergies
(Ecological Economics, 2022-02-01)What would the effect on the employment and environmental footprint be if Spanish households substituted imported fresh fruits and vegetables with local production? Are the impacts similar over the entire year? Is it ... -
Ecological economics in the age of fear
(Elsevier, 2020)Far right political movements are rising and seizing power in many influential countries, affecting not only the governance of democratic regimes but also the science-policy relationship and the global environmental agenda. ... -

Economic Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Services Losses: Cost of Policy Inaction
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-13)This paper presents a bottom-up methodological framework for estimating some of the key ecosystem services provided by forests biomes worldwide. We consider the provision of wood and non-wood forest products, recreation ... -
Economic Efficiency, Environmental Effectiveness and Political Feasibility of Energy Efficiency Rebates: The Case of the Spanish Energy Efficiency 'Renove' Plan
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-02-02)Energy labels are used to promote the purchase of efficient appliances. Many countries in Europe use subsidies (namely energy efficiency rebates) to support these purchases as it is the case of Spain. A figure ranging from ...
