Ensembles of ecosystem service models can improve accuracy and indicate uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2020)
Many ecosystem services (ES) models exist to support sustainable development decisions. However, most ES studies use only a single modelling framework and, because of a lack of validation data, rarely assess model accuracy ...
Southward re-distribution of tropical tuna fisheries activity can be explained by technological and management change
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020)
There is broad evidence of climate change causing shifts in fish distribution worldwide, but less is known about the response of fisheries to these changes. Responses to climate-driven shifts in a fishery may be constrained ...
Greenhouse gas observation network design for Africa
(TELLUS SERIES B-CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL METEOROLOGY, 2020)
An optimal network design was carried out to prioritise the installation or refurbishment of greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring stations around Africa. The network was optimised to reduce the uncertainty in emissions across ...
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 ...
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 ...
