A global review of past land use, climate, and active vs. passive restoration effects on forest recovery
(PloS One, 2017)Global forest restoration targets have been set, yet policy makers and land managers lack guiding principles on how to invest limited resources to achieve them. We conducted a meta-analysis of 166 studies in naturally ... -
A meta-analysis of environmental factor effects on ammonia emissions from dairy cattle houses
(Elsevier, 2019)Livestock housing is one of the main sources of ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture. Different management and environmental factors are known to affect NH3 emissions from housing systems. The aim of this study was to ... -
A method for selecting a climate model: an application for maximum daily temperature in Southern Spain
(Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2023)General circulation models (GCM) show projections of climate variables that when downscaled can be applied to analyse future behaviour in different areas or places. Using them is possible not just to obtain expected values ... -
A methodological approach for assessing flexibility and capacity value in renewable-dominated power systems: A Spanish case study in 2030
(Energy, 2023)Maintaining the security of supply is one of the challenges that system operators face. Variability and uncertainty increase due to the penetration of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, while flexible ... -
A multi-model analysis of long-term emissions and warming implications of current mitigation efforts
(Nature Climate Change, 2021-12-01)Most of the integrated assessment modelling literature focuses on cost-effective pathways towards given temperature goals. Conversely, using seven diverse integrated assessment models, we project global energy CO2 emissions ... -
A multi-model analysis of the EU's path to net zero
(Joule, 2023-12-20)The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU's path, from ... -
A multi-resolution and multivariate analysis of the dynamic relationships between crude oil and petroleum-product prices
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper proposes the use of a novel multivariate, dynamic approach wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) (Fernández-Macho, 2018) to analyse the relationship between oil time series in the time-scale domain. This ... -
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
(Nature Climate Change, 2023-06-01)The COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not clear how this would impact future warming. Here, we use ... -
A multiple-uncertainty analysis framework for integrated assessment modelling of several sustainable development goals
(Elsevier, 2020)This research introduces a two-level integration of climate-economy modelling and portfolio analysis, to simulate technological subsidisation with implications for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), across ... -
A new accounting framework for assessing forest footprint of nations
(Ecological Economics, 2022)n a tele-coupled and globalized World, understanding the links between demand for wood products and land use is becoming challenging. World's economies are increasingly open and interconnected, and international trade flows ... -
A new approach for assessing natural patterns of flow variability and hydrological alterations: The case of the Spanish rivers
(Elsevier, 2019)Ensuring water is available for human use usually requires dams and reservoirs that severely affect river ecosystems. Hydrological alteration by river damming represents one of the most prominent human impacts on freshwater ... -
A novel optimization approach incorporating non-stomatal limitations predicts stomatal behaviour in species from six plant functional types
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO 2 assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced ... -
A participatory modelling approach to cognitive mapping of the socio-environmental system of sandy anthropogenic shores in the Netherlands
(Ocean and Coastal Management, 2023-09-01)Sandy Anthropogenic Shores (SAS) are coasts formed or heavily modified by moving large amounts of dredged sand from offshore towards the land. Subsequently, natural processes such as waves, wind, and currents are spreading ... -
A pre-crisis vs. crisis analysis of peripheral EU stock markets by means of wavelet transform and a nonlinear causality test
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper presents an analysis of EU peripheral (so-called PIIGS) stock market indices and the SandP Europe 350 index (SPEURO), as a European benchmark market, over the pre-crisis (2004 2007) and crisis (2008 2011) periods. ... -
A reconstructed database of historic bluefin tuna captures in the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2018)This data paper presents a reconstruction of a compilation of a small but consistent database of historical capture records of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; BFT hereafter) from the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean ... -
A review of the combined effects of climate change and other local human stressors on the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2021)Climate change (CC) is a key, global driver of change of marine ecosystems. At local and regional scales, other local human stressors (LS) can interact with CC and modify its effects on marine ecosystems. Understanding the ... -
A simple model for the effect of thermal stress on the productivity of small ruminants
(Livestock Science, 2021)Projected climatic changes are expected to change temperature and precipitation patterns and to increase the frequency of extreme events in many regions of the world. This will affect livestock systems through direct effects ... -
A systematic map of cassava farming practices and their agricultural and environmental impacts using new ontologies: Agri-ontologies 1.0
(Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023-05-01)Cassava is consumed by 800 million people and is a staple crop in Africa. Its production may increase under climate change due to its high drought tolerance. We produced a systematic map of scientific studies about cassava ... -
A systematic review of non-productivityrelated animal-based indicators of heat stress resilience in dairy cattle
(PLoS One, 2018)Introduction Projected temperature rise in the upcoming years due to climate change has increased interest in studying the effects of heat stress in dairy cows. Environmental indices are commonly used for detecting heat ... -
A typology of elementary forms of human-nature relations: a contribution to the valuation debate
(Elsevier, 2018)This article aims to contribute to the debate about the role of relational values in environmental decision making, by putting forward a typology of human-nature relational models . We argue that human-nature relational ...
