Machine learning for ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2018)Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed ... -
Mapping land-use fluxes for 2001–2020 from global models to national inventories
(Earth Syst. Sci., 2022-08-22)With the focus of climate policy shifting from pledges to implementation, there is an increasing need to track progress on climate change mitigation at country level, especially for the land-use sector. Despite new tools ... -
Mapping the planet’s critical natural assets
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2023)Sustaining the organisms, ecosystems and processes that underpin human wellbeing is necessary to achieve sustainable development. Here we define critical natural assets as the natural and semi-natural ecosystems that provide ... -
Marginal Damage of Methane Emissions: Ozone Impacts on Agriculture
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2023)Methane directly contributes to air pollution, as an ozone precursor, and to climate change, generating physical and economic damages to different systems, namely agriculture, vegetation, energy, human health, or biodiversity. ... -
Market Instruments and CO2 Mitigation: A General Equilibrium Analysis for Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-13)Market instruments are a core element of policies to mitigate climate change. Choosing and designing the right instruments can help to minimise mitigation costs. This paper seeks to analyse various market instruments for ... -
MEASURING PARTICIPATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY of CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES in URBAN PLANNING
(WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2021-01-01)... -
Measuring the long-term recovery of forest ecosystems after anthropogenic disturbances to improve restoration strategies and outcomes.
(2021-06-11)Ecological restoration is today globally implemented to mitigate forest degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restored forests do not commonly recover pre-disturbance levels of structure, functions or services. One ... -
Memory order decomposition of symbolic sequences
(Physical Review E, 2021-07-01)We introduce a general method for the study of memory in symbolic sequences based on higher-order Markov analysis. The Markov process that best represents a sequence is expressed as a mixture of matrices of minimal orders, ... -
Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ... -
Mitigating the effects of omission errors on area and area change estimates
(Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020-01-01)Information on Earth's land surface and change over time has never been easier to obtain, but making informed decisions to manage land well necessitates that this information is accurate and precise. In recent years, due ... -
Model validity and transferability informing behavioral energy policies
(Energies, 2021-06-01)A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called ... -
Modeling regional effects of climate change on soil organic carbon in Spain
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science, 2018)Soil organic C (SOC) stock assessments at the regional scale under climate change scenarios are of paramount importance in implementing soil management practices to mitigate climate change. In this study, we estimated the ... -
Modeling the impacts of diffuse light fraction on photosynthesis in ORCHIDEE (v5453) land surface model
(Geoscientific Model Development, 2020)Aerosol- and cloud-induced changes in diffuselight have important impacts on the global land carbon cy-cle, as they alter light distribution and photosynthesis in veg-etation canopies. However, this effect remains ... -
Modeling the Links between Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and Human Wellbeing in the Context of Climate Change: Results from an Econometric Analysis on the European Forest Ecosystems
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)The paper conducts an empirical investigation on the complex relationship between biodiversity and the values of ecosystem goods and services that are supported by biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, aiming to produce ... -
Modeling trade-offs across carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and equity in the distribution of global REDD+ funds
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019)The program on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is one of the major attempts to tackle climate change mitigation in developing countries. REDD+ seeks to provide result-based incentives ... -
Modelling ecosystem services trade-offs in agricultural systems
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-02)*Agriculture is a source of provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services, and depends on them to function. *Reducing negative trade-offs and identifying potential synergies between ecosystem services demands a ... -
Modelling solid waste management solutions: The case of Campania, Italy
(Elsevier, 2018)The waste crisis in Campania has inspired a huge body of literature that has described its complex nature. Quantitative analysis in this regard provides useful insight into single aspects of the problem but from a static ... -
Modelling the Effect of Climate Change on Environmental Pollution Losses from Dairy Systems in the UK
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-20)So far, there has been strong emphasis on studying the impacts of climate change on agriculture in terms of changes in food production; however, there is increasing evidence that agricultural ecosystems (e.g. livestock) ... -
Moist and warm conditions in Eurasia during the last glacial of the Middle Pleistocene Transition
(Nature communications, 2023)The end of the Middle Pleistocene Transition (MPT, ~ 800-670 thousand years before present, ka) was characterised by the emergence of large glacial ice-sheets associated with anomalously warm North Atlantic sea surface ... -
Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan: an ESGAP assessment
