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 ... -
Effects of impurities on the ice microstructure of Monte Perdido Glacier, Central Pyrenees, NE Spain
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)Monte Perdido Glacier, located in the central Pyrenees, is one of the southernmost glaciers in Europe. Due to climate change, this glacier is suffering an accelerated mass loss, especially in the last decades. If the current ... -
Elevated CO2 did not affect the hydrological balance of a mature native Eucalyptus woodland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCa) might reduce forest water-use, due to decreased transpiration, following partial stomatal closure, thus enhancing water-use efficiency and productivity at low water availability. ... -
Embracing ambiguity in climate change adaptation for more effective responses to new uncertain shorescapes conditions
(Marine Policy, 2023)Nature Based Solutions (NbS) are mainstreamed as an innovative and adequate approach to climate change. Combining natural dynamics and materials with technical knowledge, NbS are seen as a promising venue for coastal ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Energy market prices in times of covid-19: The case of electricity and natural gas in Spain
(Energies, 2021-03-15)The COVID-19 pandemic is having a strong impact on the economies of all countries, negatively affecting almost all sectors. This paper compares Spanish electricity and natural gas prices in the first half-year of 2020 with ... -
Energy-efficiency policies for decarbonising residential heating in Spain: A fuzzy cognitive mapping approach
(Energy Policy, 2022-12-01)Decarbonising residential heating poses a major challenge for the energy transition, but the policy attention devoted to and the support provided for it seem limited. There is a rather limited consideration of the perceptions ... -
Energy-socio-economic-environmental modelling for the EU energy and post-COVID-19 transitions
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2022)Relevant energy questions have arisen because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic shock leads to emissions’ reductions consistent with the rates of decrease required to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. Those unforeseen ... -
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 ... -
Ensuring a just energy transition: A distributional analysis of diesel tax reform in Spain with stakeholder engagement
(Energy Policy, 2023)Despite the consensus that green taxation is an effective way to accelerate the decarbonization of economies, few countries are implementing ambitious tax reforms. This is the case of diesel for transport in Spain. The ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
¿Están las ciudades españolas adaptándose al cambio climático?
(Papeles De Economía Española, 2020-06-30)After the Paris Agreement and the incorporation of national commitments in adaptation, the measurement of progress in adaptation has become an important part of the international climate policy agenda. Monitoring the ... -
Estimating soil organic carbon changes in managed temperate moist grasslands with RothC
(PLoS ONE, 2021-08-01)Temperate grassland soils store significant amounts of carbon (C). Estimating how much livestock grazing and manuring can influence grassland soil organic carbon (SOC) is key to improve greenhouse gas grassland budgets. ... -
Estimation of the significance of the Foster's wavelet spectrum by means of the permutation test, and applications to paleoclimate records
(Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana, 2018)Here we propose a permutation test-a non-parametric computing-intensive test-to evaluate the statistical significance of the Foster s wavelet spectrum by means of Monte Carlo simulations. A procedure (algorithm) is introduced ... -
European patterns of local adaptation planning—a regional analysis
(Regional Environmental Change, 2024-06-01)While European regions face a range of different climate hazards, little is known about how these differences affect local climate adaptation planning. We present an analytical framework for evaluating local climate ... -
Evaluating integrated impacts of low-emission transitions in the livestock sector
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper provides the results of a combined qualitative and quantitative assessment of key impacts for two low-emission transition pathways for the Dutch livestock sector. These impacts or side-effects can be positive ... -
Evaluating social learning in participatory mapping of ecosystem services
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)Recent studies have shown the opportunities and limitations of participatory mapping for ecosystem services management, although it is an incipient research area. One of the research questions yet to be addressed is whether ... -
Evaluating three-pillar sustainability modelling approaches for dairy cattle production systems
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2021)Milk production in Europe is facing major challenges to ensure its economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is essential that holistic concepts are developed to ensure the future sustainability of the sector ...
