Opportunities for an African greenhouse gas observation system
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-12-01)Global population projections foresee the biggest increase to occur in Africa with most of the available uncultivated land to ensure food security remaining on the continent. Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emissions are ... -
Optimal management of a mega pumped hydro storage system under stochastic hourly electricity prices in the Iberian Peninsula
(Energy, 2022)Concern for the environment led in some developed countries to planning future energy use that combines greater electrification with increasing use of Renewable Energy (RE) in the electricity generation mix. These scenarios ... -
Optimal slow steaming speed for container ships under the eu emission trading system
(Energies, 2021-11-01)Slow steaming is an operational measure in ocean-going vessels sailing at slow speeds. It can help climate mitigation efforts by cutting down marine fuel consumption and consequently reducing CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas ... -
Optimal stomatal theory predicts CO<inf>2</inf> responses of stomatal conductance in both gymnosperm and angiosperm trees
(New Phytologist, 2023)Optimal stomatal theory predicts that stomata operate to maximise photosynthesis (Anet) and minimise transpirational water loss to achieve optimal intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE). We tested whether this theory can ... -
Pan-European rural monitoring network shows dominance of NH3 gas and NH4NO3 aerosol in inorganic atmospheric pollution load
(ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, 2021)A comprehensive European dataset on monthly atmospheric NH3, acid gases (HNO3, SO2, HCl), and aerosols (NH+4, NO3, SO24 , Cl, NaC, Ca2C, Mg2C/ is presented and analysed. Speciated measurements were made with a low-volume ... -
¿Para qué impactos climáticos se preparan las ciudades españolas?
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)Cities play an important role in identifying climate impacts on population, urbanization and infrastructure, and in making decisions regarding how, how much and when we should adapt. We present here an analysis of the ... -
Participatory coastal management through elicitation of ecosystem service preferences and modelling driven by coastal squeeze
(Elsevier, 2019)The Baixo Vouga Lagunar (BVL) is part of Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon in Portugal, which is classified as a Special Protection Area under the European Habitats and Birds Directives. This part of the system, corresponding ... -
Participatory mapping of ecosystem services across a gradient of agricultural intensification in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
(Ecosystems and People, 2023)Agrarian change affects the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ES) by reducing the extent of natural ecosystems. Agricultural intensification can lead to changes in land covers and livelihood opportunities and it ... -
Participatory multi-criteria decision aid: Operationalizing an integrated assessment of ecosystem services
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)Ongoing ecosystem alterations underscore the need for ecosystem service assessment to urgently enter policy-making. Participatory methods and a systematic inclusion of stakeholders are crucial yet underdeveloped cornerstones ... -
Payments for ecosystem services or collective stewardship of mother earth? Applying deliberative valuation in an indigenous community in Colombia
(Elsevier, 2020)The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such ... -
Periphyton biomass and life-form responses to a gradient of discharge in contrasting light and nutrients scenarios in experimental lowland streams
(Science of the Total Environment, 2022-02-01)Climate-induced changes in precipitation and land-use intensification affect the discharge of streams worldwide, which, together with eutrophication and loss of riparian canopy, can affect periphyton biomass and composition, ... -
Periphyton responses to nitrogen decline and warming in eutrophic shallow lake mesocosms
(Hydrobiologia, 2022-10-01)Periphyton is a key primary producer in shallow lakes, sensitive to global warming and changes in nutrient balances. Reduced nitrogen availability due to accelerated denitrification at higher temperatures or in response ... -
Perspective of comprehensive and comprehensible multi-model energy and climate science in Europe
(ENERGY, 2021)Europe’s capacity to explore the envisaged pathways that achieve its near- and long-term energy and climate objectives needs to be significantly enhanced. In this perspective, we discuss how this capacity is supported by ... -
Photoprotective compounds as early markers to predict holm oak crown defoliation in declining Mediterranean savannahs
(Tree Physiology, 2022-02-01)... -
Physical analysis of an Antarctic ice core-towards an integration of micro-and macrodynamics of polar ice
(Royal Society, 2017)Microstructures from deep ice cores reflect the dynamic conditions of the drill location as well as the thermodynamic history of the drill site and catchment area in great detail. Ice core parameters (crystal lattice-preferred ... -
Physicochemical and Sensory Evaluation Data to Drive the Development of a Green Chili Pepper Hot Sauce from Unexploited Raw Materials
(Foods, 2023)The present study shows the set of analyses conducted during the development of a hot chili pepper sauce to valorize green peppers usually discarded in the Espelette region (France). A traditional production process was ... -
Plant residue chemical quality modulates the soil microbial response related to decomposition and soil organic carbon and nitrogen stabilization in a rainfed Mediterranean agroecosystem
(SOIL BIOLOGY & BIOCHEMISTRY, 2021)Soils play a major role in the global carbon cycle and are crucial to the management of climate change. Changes in plant cover derived from different agricultural practices induce variations in the quality of plant residue ... -
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 ... -
