How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
(CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -
Human dependence on natural resources in rapidly urbanising South African regions
(IOP Publishing, 2019)Enhancing the governance of social-ecological systems for more equitable and sustainable development is hindered by inadequate knowledge about how different social groups and communities rely on natural resources. We used ... -
IAOx induces the SUR phenotype and differential signalling from IAA under different types of nitrogen nutrition in Medicago truncatula roots
(Plant Science, 2019-10-01)Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) is a particularly relevant molecule as an intermediate in the pathway for tryptophan-dependent auxin biosynthesis. The role of IAOx in growth-signalling and root phenotype is poorly studied in ... -
Identification of conservation and restoration priority areas in the Danube River based on the multi-functionality of river-floodplain systems
(Elsevier, 2019)Large river-floodplain systems are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services but are also used for multiple human activities, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. There is wide evidence that ... -
Identification of potential locations for small hydropower plant based on resources time footprint: A case study in Dan River Basin, China
(Renewable Energy, 2023)mall hydropower has attracted extensive interest as a clean technology. This study first identified possible sites of small hydropower plants with estimated capacity, and then utilized resources time footprint as a novel ... -
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ... -
Identifying optimal technological portfolios for European power generation towards climate change mitigation: A robust portfolio analysis approach
(Elsevier, 2019)Here, an integrative approach is proposed to link integrated assessment modelling results from the GCAM model with a novel portfolio analysis framework. This framework comprises a bi-objective optimisation model, Monte ... -
Impact and distribution of climatic damages: a methodological proposal with a dynamic CGE model applied to global climate negotiations
(Springer Nature, 2018)The UNFCCC Paris Agreement, entered into force on 4 November 2016, represents a step forward in involving all countries in mitigation actions, even though it is based on a voluntary approach and lacks the active participation ... -
Impact of environmental factors on the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in lupins: a review
(Food Additives and Contaminants - Part A, 2023)Lupin seeds have a high potential as an alternative for animal proteins in feed and food. However, the possible presence of alkaloids hinders the usage of lupins in human diets. This review aims to identify the main factors ... -
Impacto social y distributivo de la revisión de la Directiva sobre Fiscalidad Energética en España
(Papeles de Energía - FUNCAS, 2022)Este documento busca evaluar los impactos distributivos directos de la reforma del ETD en los hogares españoles. Para ello, se han usado los resultados de un modelo de microsimulación desarrollado por BC3 con el IEEP y ... -
Impactos y adaptación al cambio climático en rumiantes
(ITEA-Informacion Tecnica Economica Agraria, 2020)Climate change will affect ruminant systems through direct effects on animal performance, and indirect effects on pasture and forage availability. As impacts will be very unequal amongst different regions and production ... -
Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Ebro River Basin: From Theory to Facts
(MDPI, 2015)In this article, we analyze how successful the implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Ebro river catchment (in Spain) has been. Our main aim is to show some gaps between theory and practice. ... -
Implications of switching fossil fuel subsidies to solar: A case study for the European Union
(MDPI, 2017)Fossil fuel subsidies (FFS) constitute one of the most obvious barriers to tackling climate change, as they encourage inefficient energy consumption and divert investment away from clean energy sources. According to the ... -
Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ... -
La importancia de la eficiencia energética: evidencia reciente para España
(Papeles de Economía Española, 2022-12-05)The IPCC report shows that there is a gap between the need to achieve net GHG emissions by 2050, and what has been promised by political leaders. In this context, energy efficiency can play a key role in promoting ... -
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ... -

Incorporating diverse values of nature in decision-making—theory and practice
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2024-06-10)Values play a significant role in decision-making, especially regarding nature. Decisions impact people and nature in complex ways and understanding which values are prioritised, and which are left out is an important task ... -
Incorporating non-stomatal limitation improves the performance of leaf and canopy models at high vapour pressure deficit
(Oxford University Press, 2019)Vapour pressure deficit (D) is projected to increase in the future as temperature rises. In response to increased D, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A) are reduced, which may result in significant reductions ...
