Effects of historical land-use change in the Mediterranean environment
(Science of the Total Environment, 2020-08-25)
During the Holocene (last ~11,700 years), societies have continuously modified the landscape of the Mediterranean Basin through changes in land-use, exerting extraordinary pressures onto the environment and adding variability ...
Climate change perception: Driving forces and their interactions
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2020-06-01)
Public perception of climate change can either facilitate or hinder the implementation of climate policies. This perception is dependent on a number of influencing factors, called drivers, in ways that are still not clearly ...
The case of a southern European glacier disappearing under recent warming that survived Roman and Medieval warm periods
(Cryosphere Discussions, 2020-06-08)
Mountain glaciers have generally experienced an accelerated retreat over the last three decades as a rapid response to current global warming. However, the response to previous warm periods in the Holocene is not well-described ...
Payments for ecosystem services or collective stewardship of mother earth? Applying deliberative valuation in an indigenous community in Colombia
(Elsevier, 2020)
The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such ...
Changes in institutional and social–ecological system robustness due to the adoption of large-scale irrigation technology in Navarre (Spain)
(Environmental Policy and Governance, 2020-07-01)
Many regional and national organisations promote the modernisation of agriculture by supporting new technologies to increase their territory's competitiveness in a free-market context. Such technologies and their associated ...
Volcanism and climate change as drivers in Holocene depositional dynamic of Laguna del Maule (Andes of central Chile - 36° S)
(Climate of the Past, 2020-07-02)
Late Quaternary volcanic basins are active landscapes from which detailed archives of past climate and seismic and volcanic activity can be obtained. A multidisciplinary study performed on a transect of sediment cores was ...
Dynamic wavelet correlation analysis for multivariate climate time series
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
The wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) is introduced for the first time in the study of climate dynamics inferred from multivariate climate time series. To exemplify the use of WLMC with real climate data, we analyse ...
