Benefits From Water Related Ecosystem Services in Africa and Climate Change
(Ecological Economics, 2018-07-01)The present study collects original monetary estimates for water related ecosystem service benefits on the African continent from 36 valuation studies. A database of 178 monetary estimates is constructed to conduct a ... -
Beyond participation: How to achieve the recognition of local communities’ value-systems in conservation? Some insights from Mexico
(People and Nature, 2021-06-01)In this article, we explore why conservation schemes that have positive outcomes through the participation of local communities cannot necessarily be deemed as just. We observe that recognition (understood as inclusion and ... -
BINCOR: An r package for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series
(The R Foundation, 2019)This paper presents a computational program named BINCOR (BINned CORrelation) for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series. This program is also applicable to the situation of two evenly spaced ... -
Biocultural vulnerability exposes threats of culturally important species
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023-01-01)There are growing calls for conservation frameworks that, rather than breaking the relations between people and other parts of nature, capture place-based relationships that have supported social-ecological systems over ... -
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Sustainability, 2021)The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ... -
Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
(Ecosystem Services, 2020)We present methods and results of country-based natural capital assessments for four ecosystem services (ES) in Italy. The spatial mapping and the assessment have been carried out in both physical and monetary terms for ... -
Biophysical and socioeconomic state and links of deltaic areas vulnerable to climate change: Volta (Ghana), Mahanadi (India) and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (India and Bangladesh)
