Anthropogenic ecosystem disturbance and the recovery debt
(Nature, 2017)Ecosystem recovery from anthropogenic disturbances, either without human intervention or assisted by ecological restoration, is increasingly occurring worldwide. As ecosystems progress through recovery, it is important to ... -
Applying fault tree analysis to biological invasions identifies optimal targets for effective biosecurity
(Journal of Applied Ecology, 2022-10-01)The management of invasive species requires analytical tools that can synthesise the increasing and complex information generated through risk assessment protocols. To that end, fault tree analysis (FTA) provides a means ... -
Applying the global RCP SSP SPA scenario framework at sub-national scale: A multi-scale and participatory scenario approach
(Elsevier, 2018)To better anticipate potential impacts of climate change, diverse information about the future is required, including climate, society and economy, and adaptation and mitigation. To address this need, a global RCP ... -
Are local climate adaptation policies credible? A conceptual and operational assessment framework
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)After the Paris Agreement that put stronger emphasis on the development of climate change adaptation policies and on the definition of financing mechanisms, there is a patent need to track whether actual planning efforts ... -
Are protected areas covering important biodiversity sites? An assessment of the nature protection network in Sicily (Italy)
