Opportunities and challenges for microbiomics in ecosystem restoration
(Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2023-12-01)Microbiomics is the science of characterizing microbial community structure, function, and dynamics. It has great potential to advance our understanding of plant–soil–microbe processes and interaction networks which can ... -
Opportunities for an African greenhouse gas observation system
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-12-01)Global population projections foresee the biggest increase to occur in Africa with most of the available uncultivated land to ensure food security remaining on the continent. Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions are ... -
Optimal Abandonment of Coal-Fired Stations in the EU
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-05-26)Carbon-fired power plants could face some difficulties in a carbon-constrained world. The traditional advantage of coal as a cheaper fuel may decrease in the future if CO2 allowance prices start to increase. This paper ... -
Optimal Investment in Energy Efficiency under Uncertainty
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-11-18)This paper deals with the optimal time to invest in an energy efficiency improvement. There is a broad consensus that such investments quickly pay for themselves in lower energy bills and spared emission allowances. However, ... -
Optimal management of a mega pumped hydro storage system under stochastic hourly electricity prices in the Iberian Peninsula
(Energy, 2022)Concern for the environment led in some developed countries to planning future energy use that combines greater electrification with increasing use of Renewable Energy (RE) in the electricity generation mix. These scenarios ... -
Optimal slow steaming speed for container ships under the eu emission trading system
(Energies, 2021-11-01)Slow steaming is an operational measure in ocean-going vessels sailing at slow speeds. It can help climate mitigation efforts by cutting down marine fuel consumption and consequently reducing CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas ... -
Optimal stomatal theory predicts CO<inf>2</inf> responses of stomatal conductance in both gymnosperm and angiosperm trees
(New Phytologist, 2023)Optimal stomatal theory predicts that stomata operate to maximise photosynthesis (Anet) and minimise transpirational water loss to achieve optimal intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE). We tested whether this theory can ... -
Pan-European rural monitoring network shows dominance of NH3 gas and NH4NO3 aerosol in inorganic atmospheric pollution load
(ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, 2021)A comprehensive European dataset on monthly atmospheric NH3, acid gases (HNO3, SO2, HCl), and aerosols (NH+4, NO3, SO24 , Cl, NaC, Ca2C, Mg2C/ is presented and analysed. Speciated measurements were made with a low-volume ... -
¿Para qué impactos climáticos se preparan las ciudades españolas?
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)Cities play an important role in identifying climate impacts on population, urbanization and infrastructure, and in making decisions regarding how, how much and when we should adapt. We present here an analysis of the ... -
Participatory coastal management through elicitation of ecosystem service preferences and modelling driven by coastal squeeze
(Elsevier, 2019)The Baixo Vouga Lagunar (BVL) is part of Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon in Portugal, which is classified as a Special Protection Area under the European Habitats and Birds Directives. This part of the system, corresponding ... -
Participatory mapping of ecosystem services across a gradient of agricultural intensification in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
(Ecosystems and People, 2023)Agrarian change affects the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ES) by reducing the extent of natural ecosystems. Agricultural intensification can lead to changes in land covers and livelihood opportunities and it ... -
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 ... -
Payments for ecosystem services or collective stewardship of mother earth? Applying deliberative valuation in an indigenous community in Colombia
(Elsevier, 2020)The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such ... -
Payments for Water Ecosystem Services in Latin America: Evidence from Reported Experience
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10-10)Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes are attracting increasing interest as policy mechanisms to improve conservation and sustainable development outcomes. PES initiatives aim to reach mutually beneficial agreements ... -
Periphyton biomass and life-form responses to a gradient of discharge in contrasting light and nutrients scenarios in experimental lowland streams
(Science of the Total Environment, 2022-02-01)Climate-induced changes in precipitation and land-use intensification affect the discharge of streams worldwide, which, together with eutrophication and loss of riparian canopy, can affect periphyton biomass and composition, ... -
Periphyton responses to nitrogen decline and warming in eutrophic shallow lake mesocosms
(Hydrobiologia, 2022-10-01)Periphyton is a key primary producer in shallow lakes, sensitive to global warming and changes in nutrient balances. Reduced nitrogen availability due to accelerated denitrification at higher temperatures or in response ... -
Perspective of comprehensive and comprehensible multi-model energy and climate science in Europe
(ENERGY, 2021)Europe’s capacity to explore the envisaged pathways that achieve its near- and long-term energy and climate objectives needs to be significantly enhanced. In this perspective, we discuss how this capacity is supported by ... -
