Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(Biogeosciences, 2020)The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 2: Untangling climatic, edaphic, management and nitrogen deposition effects on carbon sequestration potentials
(Biogeosciences, 2020-03-26)"The effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition (N-dep) on carbon (C) sequestration in forests have often been assessed by relating differences in productivity to spatial variations of N-dep across a large geographic domain. ... -
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ... -
Challenges and directions toward a general theory of ecological recovery dynamics: A metacommunity perspective
(One Earth, 2021-08-20)Global change degrades ecosystems worldwide. Scientific research has advanced our knowledge of the impacts of global change on ecosystems. Comparatively, however, it remains unclear how ecosystems recover after disturbances. ... -
Challenges for the balanced attribution of livestock's environmental impacts: The art of conveying simple messages around complex realities
(Animal Frontiers, 2023-04-01)... -
Challenges in the harmonisation of global integrated assessment models: A comprehensive methodology to reduce model response heterogeneity
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2021)Harmonisation sets the ground to a solid inter-comparison of integrated assessment models. A clear and transparent harmonisation process promotes a consistent interpretation of the modelling outcomes divergences and, ... -
Challenging Harmony to Save Nature? Environmental Activism and Ethics in Taiwan and Japan
(International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 2021-01-01)To save nature, environmental activists in Taiwan and Japan are willing to change their behavior and society itself, challenging harmony in their communities. This paper explores the tension between globally relevant ... -

Changes in institutional and social–ecological system robustness due to the adoption of large-scale irrigation technology in Navarre (Spain)
(Environmental Policy and Governance, 2020-07-01)Many regional and national organisations promote the modernisation of agriculture by supporting new technologies to increase their territory's competitiveness in a free-market context. Such technologies and their associated ... -
Characterising the rural-urban gradient through the participatory mapping of ecosystem services: Insights for landscape planning
(Pensoft Publishers, 2018)The application of the ecosystem services (ES) framework in landscape planning has become particularly relevant in rural-urban gradients since it allows for the integration of the complex interactions between ES supply and ... -
Classifying Ecosystem Services for Economic Valuation: The case of forest water services
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-13)Since the release of the Millennium Ecosystem Approach (MEA), the number of studies valuing ecosystem services has grown. As a consequence of this growing literature, different interpretations exist on the classification ... -
Climate adaptation indicators and metrics: State of local policy practice
(Ecological Indicators, 2022)Recent systematic reviews show that, overall, and across governance levels and sectors, climate change adaptation monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are rarely programmed and implemented. As a result, there is a ... -
Climate and sustainability co-governance in Kenya: A multi-criteria analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and consensus
(Energy for Sustainable Development, 2022)The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development embody highly intertwined targets to act for climate in conjunction with sustainable development. This, however, entails different meanings and challenges ... -
Climate change and heatwaves in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)In this paper we analyse the probabilistic behaviour of heatwaves (HWs) in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country (Bayonne, Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian) in the twentyfirst century. We estimate HW behaviour ... -
Climate Change and Its Socioeconomic Importance
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-21)Climate change has played an increasingly key role in recent years and is now one of the leading political priorities worldwide. This article illustrates the scope of the problem, its causes and its impacts, along with the ... -
Climate Change and Knowledge Communities
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-13)Climate change is a global problem whose particular characteristics mean that public-sector policy is fundamental in tackling it: a public-sector policy implemented world-wide that requires the co-operation of a large ... -
Climate change effects on northern Spanish grassland-based dairy livestock systems
(Plant and Soil, 2023)Background: Understanding the effects of climate change on agro-ecosystems is fundamental in order to select the optimum management practices to mitigate environmental pressures. There is a need to forecast greenhouse gas ... -
Climate change impact, adaptation, and mitigation in temperate grazing systems: A review
(MDPI, 2019)Managed temperate grasslands occupy 25% of the world, which is 70% of global agricultural land. These lands are an important source of food for the global population. This review paper examines the impacts of climate change ... -
CLIMATE CHANGE IN HIGH-MOUNTAIN REGIONS An international perspective and a look at the Pyrenees
