Relationships between large-scale climate modes and the South Atlantic Ocean wave climate
(Progress in Oceanography, 2021-09-01)Modes of variability in ocean wave conditions are coupled to atmospheric circulation changes due to exchange of energy and momentum at the interface. Here, we explored for the South Atlantic Ocean the relations between ... -
Relocating croplands could drastically reduce the environmental impacts of global food production
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2022)Agricultural production has replaced natural ecosystems across the planet, becoming a major driver of carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and freshwater consumption. Here we combined global crop yield and environmental ... -
Renewable energy regulation and structural breaks: An empirical analysis of Spanish electricity price volatility
(ENERGY ECONOMICS, 2020)International experience proves that electricity prices have undergone major changes in volatility since the entry of green technologies. The intermittency of renewable sources is one of the reasons for these changes, as ... -
Research priorities for seafood-dependent livelihoods under ocean climate change extreme events
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)The current magnitude of ocean extreme events already exceeds the end-of-the-decade scenario estimates, and therefore incremental adaptation measures will render insufficient for seafood-dependent livelihoods. Nevertheless, ... -
Responses of sub-Saharan smallholders to climate change: Strategies and drivers of adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)Rural farm households in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to climate variability due to their limited adaptive capacity. This paper explores how adaptation strategies are adopted by small-holders in sub-Saharan Africa as ... -
Responses of submerged macrophytes and periphyton to warming under two nitrogen scenarios: A microcosm study
(HYDROBIOLOGIA, 2021)Warming and higher nitrogen loading induced by increasing precipitation are expected scenarios in north temperate regions as consequence of global climate change, with potential effects on the functional traits of submerged ... -

Restaurando la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas: La importancia de las interacciones entre especies
(AEET, 2019)Restoration of natural ecosystems has traditionally focused on recovering specific richness to recover ecosystem functionality. However, species within a natural ecosystem are not isolated, they interact with others forming ... -
Restoration and repair of Earth s damaged ecosystems
(The Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 2018)Given that few ecosystems on the Earth have been unaffected by humans, restoring them holds great promise for stemming the biodiversity crisis and ensuring ecosystem services are provided to humanity. Nonetheless, few ... -
Restricting water withdrawals of the thermal power sector: An input-output analysis for the northeast of the United States
(Elsevier, 2018)As water scarcity and pollution of sources become increasingly severe and widespread, competition over this resource intensifies. Unlike much of the rest of the world, thermal power plants in the US are the biggest users ... -
Retrospective and projected warming-equivalent emissions from global livestock and cattle calculated with an alternative climate metric denoted GWP
(PLoS ONE, 2023)Limiting warming by the end of the century to 1.5̊C compared to pre-Industrial times requires reaching and sustaining net zero global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and declining radiative forcing from non-CO2 greenhouse ... -
Returns to Scale and Technical Efficiency in Colombian Coffee Production: Implications for Colombia’s Agricultural and Land Policies
(Studies in Agricultural Economics, 2022)This paper applies a parametric approach to estimate technical and scale (in)efficiencies using input and output data at the level of 850 individual Colombian coffee-farms. Different Stochastic Production Frontier functions ... -
Review and analysis of energy storage systems by hydro-pumping to support a mix of electricity generation with a high percentage of renewables
(Dyna, 2019)In some countries the planning of the electricity generation mix for the future includes a considerable increase in Renewable Energy (RE) to reduce the emissions caused by the use of fossil fuels. This trend can be ... -
Review of the reproductive ecology of the Mediterranean key species Pistacia lentiscus in the Anthropocene
(Ecosistemas, 2020-10-22)The mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L., Anacardiaceae) is one of the most abundant and characteristic shrubs in the Mediterranean basin. Its fruits, drupe type, are the main claim and food source of the wintering frugivores ... -
Reviewing the science on 50 years of conservation: Knowledge production biases and lessons for practice
(Ambio, 2024-01-01)Drawing on 662 studies from 102 countries, we present a systematic review of published empirical studies about site-level biodiversity conservation initiated between 1970 and 2019. Within this sample, we find that knowledge ... -
Risk blindness in local perspectives about the Alberta oil sands hinders Canada's decarbonization
(Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, 2021-09-01)Local perspectives can conflict with national and international climate targets. This study explores three stakeholder (community, provincial, and federal) perspectives on the Alberta oil sands as risks for a sustainability ... -
Risk measures and the distribution of damage curves for 600 European coastal cities
(IOP Publishing, 2019)A good understanding of climate change damages is vital to design effective adaptation policies and measures. Using a dataset of probabilistic sea-level rise and other of flood damages and protection cost curves for the ... -
Rural livelihoods displacement and mal-adaptation due to large-scale modern irrigation in Navarre, Spain
(Elsevier, 2024)The introduction and expansion of large-scale modern irrigation technology is often justified on the grounds of agricultural productivity and, more recently, climate change adaptation. However, the impacts of its accompanying ... -
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
(Nature, 2023-07-06)The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked1–3, yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently4,5. Here, we ... -
Satellite remote sensing of ecosystem functions: Opportunities and challenges for reporting obligations of the EU habitat directive
(International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2018)...
