Herbivory baseline estimates in Spanish protected areas, and environmental implications
(Landscape Ecology, 2023-12-01)
Context: There are no estimations of herbivory baselines in Spain. Due to the bioclimatic conditions, ungulates have maintained Open Ecosystems until the Holocene. Pastoral tradition later fulfilled the niche of wild ...
Exploring the relationship between plural values of nature, human well-being, and conservation and development intervention: Why it matters and how to do it?
(People and Nature, 2023-12-01)
Globally, land and seascapes across the bioculturally diverse tropics are in transition. Impacted by the demands of distant consumers, the processes of global environmental change and numerous interventions seeking climate, ...
Quality of urban climate adaptation plans over time
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)
Defining and measuring progress in adaptation are important questions for climate adaptation science, policy, and practice. Here, we assess the progress of urban adaptation planning in 327 European cities between 2005 and ...
Luxury and legacy effects on urban biodiversity, vegetation cover and ecosystem services
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)
Socio-economic and historical drivers shape urban nature distribution and characteristics, as luxury (wealth-related) and legacy (historical management) effects. Using remote sensing and census data on biodiversity and ...
Are risk attitude, impatience, and impulsivity related to the individual discount rate? Evidence from energy-efficient durable goods
(Theory and Decision, 2024-01-01)
Discounting is a manifestation of behavioral impulsivity, which is closely related to self-regulation processes. The decision-making process for intertemporal choices is governed by the inhibition of impulses, which can ...
Development of a low-temperature immersion microscopy technique for ice research
(Annals of Glaciology, 2024-01-01)
Perennial ice can be studied for many purposes, including paleoclimate records or rheological properties. For most of those purposes, the ice microstructure must be studied, often through optical microscopy. The aim of ...
Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan: an ESGAP assessment
(Sustainability Science, 2024-01-01)
This paper assesses the environmental sustainability of Japan by applying the environmental sustainability gap (ESGAP) framework, which builds on the concepts of strong sustainability, critical natural capital, environmental ...
Why nature matters: A systematic review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values
(BioScience, 2024-01-01)
In this article, we present results from a literature review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values of nature conducted for the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, ...
A multi-model analysis of the EU's path to net zero
(Joule, 2023-12-20)
The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU's path, from ...
Platforms for ecosystem services modeling: An applied example to the northern Patagonia
(Ecologia Austral, 2023-12-01)
Los avances tecnológicos y metodológicos de las últimas décadas (e.g., información satelital, potencia de los ordenadores, análisis geoespacial, desarrollo de algoritmos) facilitaron buscar soluciones a problemas complejos ...
