Quantifying the reductions in mortality from air-pollution by cancelling new coal power plants
(Energy and Climate Change, 2021)
Deep decarbonization paths to the 1.5 °C or 2 °C temperature stabilization futures require a rapid reduction in coal-fired power plants, but many countries are continuing to build new ones. Coal-fired plants are also a ...
Gendered differences in crop diversity choices: A case study from Papua New Guinea
(World Development, 2021-01-01)
Crop choice, including the conservation of traditional crops and the uptake of novel ones, is a central issue in agricultural development. This paper examines differences between male and female farmers motivations for ...
Environmental evolution of the Basque Coast Geopark estuaries (southern Bay of Biscay) during the last 10,000 years
(Journal of Marine Systems, 2021-07-01)
In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution of the Deba and Urola estuaries located in the Basque Coast Geopark at millennial, centennial and decadal timescales, four long boreholes, three short cores and twelve ...
From consultation toward co-production in science and policy: A critical systematic review of participatory climate and energy initiatives
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2021-03-01)
In recent decades, co-production has become a cornerstone both in science and policy-making, motivating further collaboration between different actors. To scrutinize such participatory processes within the climate and ...
Effects of disturbance and alien plants on the phylogenetic structure of riverine communities
(Journal of Vegetation Science, 2021-01-01)
Questions: Phylogenetic analyses provide important insights in the study of biological invasions. Previous studies have shown contrasting effects of alien species on the phylogenetic structure of recipient communities. In ...
Where is the EU headed given its current climate policy? A stakeholder-driven model inter-comparison
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-11-01)
Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces ...
Assessing nature-based solutions for transformative change
(One Earth, 2021-05-01)
Global sustainability targets demand transformative changes. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining traction in science and policy, but their potential for transformative change remains unexplored. We provide a framework ...
The role of land use and land cover change in climate change vulnerability assessments of biodiversity: a systematic review
(Landscape Ecology, 2021-12-01)
For many organisms, responses to climate change (CC) will be affected by land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC). However, the extent to which LULCC is concurrently considered in climate change vulnerability assessments ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: The SAPFLUXNET database
(Earth System Science Data, 2021-06-14)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Old wind farm life extension vs. Full repowering: A review of economic issues and a stochastic application for Spain
(Energies, 2021-06-02)
The installation of wind power technology is growing steadily and the trend can be expected to continue if the objectives proposed by the European Commission are to be achieved. In some countries a considerable percentage ...
