FlowRegEnvCost: An R Package for Assessing the Environmental Cost of River Flow Regulation
(Springer Nature, 2020)
FlowRegEnvCost is an R package developed for evaluating the environmental costs of river flow regulation. The methods for calculating the costs are separated in three steps: (i) measuring the admissible range of variability ...
Environmental and social consequences of the increase in the demand for superfoods world-wide
(People and Nature, 2020)
1.The search for healthy diets has led to a surge in the demand for functional foods
or ‘superfoods’, which have now become popular among the middle- and high-
income fractions of the society in developed regions of the ...
Dry deposition of air pollutants on trees at regional scale: A case study in the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2020)
There is increased interest in the role of trees to reduce air pollution and thereby improve human health and well-being. This study determined the removal of air pollutants by dry deposition of trees across the Basque ...
Reduce blue water scarcity and increase nutritional and economic water productivity through changing the cropping pattern in a catchment
(Elsevier, 2020)
Water-stressed countries need to plan their food security and reduce the pressure on their limited water resources. Agriculture, the largest water-using sector, has a major role in addressing water scarcity and food security ...
Alternative societal solutions to pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment
(JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION, 2020)
Environmental contamination with pharmaceuticals is widespread, inducing risks to both human health and the environment. This paper explores potential societal solutions to human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in the aquatic ...
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 ...
Species richness influences the spatial distribution of trees in European forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
The functioning of plant communities is strongly influenced by the number of species in the community and their spatial arrangement. This is because plants interact with their nearest neighbors and this interaction is ...
Fresh perspectives for classic forest restoration challenges
(Society for Ecological Restoration, 2020)
Restoration ecology is a young scientific discipline whose limitations can compromise the recovery of ecosystem biodiversity and functions. Specifically for limitations on forest restoration, we first recommend considering ...
An explanation for the isotopic offset between soil and stem water in a temperate tree species
(New Phytologist Trust, 2020)
A growing number of field studies report isotopic offsets between stem water and its potential sources that prevent the unambiguous identification of plant water origin using water isotopes. We explored the causes of this ...
Future impacts of ozone driven damages on agricultural systems
(Elsevier, 2020)
Current ozone (O3) concentration levels entail significant damages in crop yields around the world. The reaction of the emitted precursors (mostly methane and nitrogen oxides) with solar radiation contribute to O3 levels ...
