Transparency and Reproducibility in Participatory Systems Modelling: the Case of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)
By aggregating semi-quantitative mind maps from multiple agents, fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) allows developing an integrated, cross-sectoral understanding of complex systems. However, and especially for FCM based on ...
To what extent is climate change adaptation a novel challenge for agricultural modellers?
(Elsevier, 2019)
Modelling is key to adapting agriculture to climate change (CC), facilitating evaluation of the impacts and efficacy of adaptation measures, and the design of optimal strategies. Although there are many challenges to ...
The potential of behavioural change for climate change mitigation: a case study for the European Union
(Springer, 2018)
Mainstream literature on climate change concentrates overwhelmingly on technological solutions for this global long-term problem, while a change towards climate-friendly behaviour could play a role in emission reduction ...
Agent-based modelling to assess community food security and sustainable livelihoods
(SimSoc Consortium, 2018)
We present a methodological approach for constructing an agent-based model (ABM) to assess community food security and variation among livelihood trajectories, using rural Malawi as a case study. The approach integrates ...
Dedicated versus mainstreaming approaches in local climate plans in Europe
(Elsevier, 2019)
Cities are gaining prominence committing to respond to the threat of climate change, e.g., by developing local climate plans or strategies. However, little is known regarding the approaches and processes of plan development ...
Empirical and dynamic approaches for modelling the yield and N content of European grasslands
(Elsevier, 2019)
We applied two approaches to model grassland yield and nitrogen (N) content. The first was a series of regression equations; the second was the Century dynamic model. The regression model was generated from data from ...
Spatially explicit species distribution models: A missed opportunity in conservation planning?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Aim: Systematic conservation planning is vital for allocating protected areas given the spatial distribution of conservation features, such as species. Due to incomplete species inventories, species distribution models ...
Emergence of new knowledge for climate change adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)
Decision-making for climate change adaptation requires an integrated and cross-sectoral approach to adequately capture the complexity of interconnected systems. More meaningful decisions can be taken in an arena where ...
The nexus between climate change, ecosystem services and human health: Towards a conceptual framework
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper addresses the impact that changes in natural ecosystems can have on health and wellbeing focusing on the potential co-benefits that green spaces could provide when introduced as climate change adaptation measures. ...
Urban green space: creating a triple win for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity through behavior change
(MDPI, 2019)
Urbanization, costs of green space maintenance, and diminishing connection between people and nature all exert pressures on urban green space. This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for ...
