The sustainable management of land and fisheries resources using multicriteria techniques: A meta-analysis
(Land, 2020)
In recent years modern societies have attached a multifunctional requirement to the use of renewable resources, making their optimal sustainable management more complex. In the last decades, in many cases, this complexity ...
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)
Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ...

The role of the European small ruminant dairy sector in stabilising global temperatures: Lessons from GWP* warming-equivalent emission metrics
(JOURNAL OF DAIRY RESEARCH, 2021)
Recent calls advocate that a huge reduction in the consumption of animal products (including dairy) is essential to mitigate climate change and stabilise global warming below the 1.5 and 2°C targets. The Paris Agreement ...
Adaptation planning in large cities is unlikely to be effective
(Elservier, 2021)
The assessment of public adaptation policies, strategies and plans to evaluate progress, effectiveness and long-term sustainability is challenging. The potential to develop an ex-post evaluation linked to outcomes is limited ...
Ecosystem transpiration and evaporation: Insights from three water flux partitioning methods across FLUXNET sites
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)
We apply and compare three widely applicable methods for estimating ecosystem transpiration (T) from eddy covariance (EC) data across 251 FLUXNET sites globally. All three methods are based on the coupled water and carbon ...
Natural insurance as condition for market insurance: Climate change adaptation in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper focuses on the potential use of insurance as a climate change adaptation mechanism in agriculture. We analyse the attractiveness of a climate risk insurance scheme and the choices farmers face between adaptation ...
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 ...
Three sides to every story: Gender perspectives in energy transition pathways in Canada, Kenya and Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social and gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit and unexplored. As a corrective, this paper ...
