Off-stage ecosystem service burdens: A blind spot for global sustainability
(IOP Publishing, 2017-07)The connected nature of social-ecological systems has never been more apparent than in today's globalized world. The ecosystem service framework and associated ecosystem assessments aim to better inform the science-policy ... -
Old wind farm life extension vs. Full repowering: A review of economic issues and a stochastic application for Spain
(Energies, 2021-06-02)The installation of wind power technology is growing steadily and the trend can be expected to continue if the objectives proposed by the European Commission are to be achieved. In some countries a considerable percentage ... -
On flexible hydropower and security of supply: Spain beyond 2020
(Elsevier, 2020)Generation adequacy is a key ingredient to security of electricity supply (SoS). Some national plans envisage a future decrease in the number of coal-fired stations and an increase in renewable installed capacity. This ... -
On the links between nature's values and language
(People and Nature, 2023)Recent research into the plural values about nature is focusing on relational values as a concept through which to better understand the breadth and importance of situated human–nature relations. However, potential relevance ... -
On the role of social equity in payments for ecosystem services in Latin America: A practitioner perspective
(ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS, 2021)One of the main debates surrounding payments for ecosystem services (PES) is to what extent should PES design focus on social equity concerns. While much of the debate is centered around theoretical arguments, here we focus ... -
On the use of multicriteria decision analysis to formally integrate community values into ecosystem‐based freshwater management
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2018-12-05)Freshwater ecosystems are essential to peoples' economic, cultural, and social well-being, yet are still among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Consequently, a plethora of recent regulations and policies seek ... -
One Size Does Not Fit All: Financial Incentives Needed to Change Physical Exercise Levels for Different Groups
(Medical Decision Making, 2022-01-01)This study estimated the distribution of willingness to accept (WTA) for a physical activity behavior change intervention entailing the completion of 10,000 steps/day to shed light on which levels of incentives trigger a ... -
Operationalizing risk-based cumulative effect assessments in the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2020)Ecosystem-based management requires an assessment of the cumulative effects of human pressures and environmental change. The operationalization and integration of cumulative effects assessments (CEA) into decision-making ... -
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
