Local Observations of Climate Change and Adaptation Responses: A Case Study in the Mountain Region of Burundi-Rwanda
(Land, 2023)Mountain regions and their communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. However, little is known on the impacts observed and adaptation responses used in Burundi’s mountain region and if these are ... -
Local perceptions of ecosystem services across multiple ecosystem types in Spain
(Land, 2020)Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ... -
Long-term effectiveness of sustainable land management practices to control runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient loss and the role of rainfall intensity in Mediterranean rainfed agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2020)Mediterranean environments are especially susceptible to soil erosion and to inappropriate soil management, leading to accelerated soil loss. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices (such as reduced tillage, no-tillage, ... -
Looking for orbital signals in stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen of belemnites from the Early Jurassic in the Basque Cantabrian basin through the smoothed Lomb-Scargle periodogram
(Estudios Geologicos, 2021-06-30)The use of time series of stable isotopes obtained from fossilized samples of macrofossils, such as belemnites from the early Jurassic, until now, have not been used to explore whether these paleoindicators may have recorded ... -
Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees
(Springer Nature, 2020)Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality. Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry conditions may be crucial to long-term ... -
Low sensitivity of gross primary production to elevated CO2 in a mature eucalypt woodland
(EGU Publications, 2020)The response of mature forest ecosystems to a rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (span classCombining double low line"inline-formula"iC/ia/span) is a major uncertainty in projecting the future trajectory of ... -
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 ... -
Lyapunov exponents for temporal networks
(Physical Review E, 2023)By interpreting a temporal network as a trajectory of a latent graph dynamical system, we introduce the concept of dynamical instability of a temporal network and construct a measure to estimate the network maximum Lyapunov ... -
Machine learning for ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2018)Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed ... -
Mapping land-use fluxes for 2001–2020 from global models to national inventories
(Earth Syst. Sci., 2022-08-22)With the focus of climate policy shifting from pledges to implementation, there is an increasing need to track progress on climate change mitigation at country level, especially for the land-use sector. Despite new tools ... -
Mapping the landscape of water and society research: Promising combinations of compatible and complementary disciplines
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2024-03-01)Coupled human-water systems (CHWS) are diverse and have been studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives on CHWS provides a comprehensive and actionable understanding of ... -
Mapping the planet’s critical natural assets
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2023)Sustaining the organisms, ecosystems and processes that underpin human wellbeing is necessary to achieve sustainable development. Here we define critical natural assets as the natural and semi-natural ecosystems that provide ... -
Marginal Damage of Methane Emissions: Ozone Impacts on Agriculture
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2023)Methane directly contributes to air pollution, as an ozone precursor, and to climate change, generating physical and economic damages to different systems, namely agriculture, vegetation, energy, human health, or biodiversity. ... -
MEASURING PARTICIPATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY of CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES in URBAN PLANNING
(WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2021-01-01)... -
Memory order decomposition of symbolic sequences
(Physical Review E, 2021-07-01)We introduce a general method for the study of memory in symbolic sequences based on higher-order Markov analysis. The Markov process that best represents a sequence is expressed as a mixture of matrices of minimal orders, ... -
Meta-analysis reveals that the effects of precipitation change on soil and litter fauna in forests depend on body size
(Global Change Biology, 2024-05-01)Anthropogenic climate change is altering precipitation regimes at a global scale. While precipitation changes have been linked to changes in the abundance and diversity of soil and litter invertebrate fauna in forests, ... -
Methodological choices for reflecting strong sustainability in composite indices
(Ecological Economics, 2024-07-01)Composite indicators are widely used to represent sustainability or its underlying dimensions. Nonetheless, an alignment between the multiple choices made during their construction and the underlying conceptual framework ... -
Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ... -
Mitigating the effects of omission errors on area and area change estimates
(Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020-01-01)Information on Earth's land surface and change over time has never been easier to obtain, but making informed decisions to manage land well necessitates that this information is accurate and precise. In recent years, due ... -
Model validity and transferability informing behavioral energy policies
(Energies, 2021-06-01)A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called ...
