The effect of tree decline over soil water content largely controls soil respiration dynamics in a Mediterranean woodland
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023)As drought-induced tree defoliation and mortality (i.e. tree decline) in the Mediterranean is expected to worsen with ongoing climate change, it is of paramount importance to understand how, why, and when tree decline ... -
The energy requirements of a developed world
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Through history, special attention has been paid to the study of the relationship between the energy use of a country and its level of development. While the interest of this research area is unquestionable, the energy ... -
The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment
(Springer Nature, 2020)Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment (eCO2) can enhance plant carbon uptake and growth1 5, thereby providing an important negative feedback to climate change by slowing the rate of increase of the atmospheric CO2 ... -
The future of agriculture and food: Evaluating the holistic costs and benefits
(SAGE, 2019)Inadequacies of the current agriculture and food systems are recognised globally in the form of damages to environment and human health. In addition, the prevailing economic and policy systems do not reflect these damages ... -
The global environmental agenda urgently needs a semantic web of knowledge
(Environmental Evidence, 2022)Progress in key social-ecological challenges of the global environmental agenda (e.g., climate change, biodiversity conservation, Sustainable Development Goals) is hampered by a lack of integration and synthesis of existing ... -
The handbook for standardized field and laboratory measurements in terrestrial climate change experiments and observational studies (ClimEx)
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020)Climate change is a world-wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently ... -
The Human Factor in Transmission Network Expansion Planning: The Grid That a Sustainable Energy System Needs
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2022)The decarbonization of the energy sector puts additional pressure on the transmission network. The main cause for this is that renewable sources are often more abundant in geographical areas far away from the main demand ... -
The impact of multipurpose dams on the values of nature's contributions to people under a water-energy-food nexus framing
(Ecological Economics, 2023-04-01)The paper proposes a probabilistic approach to the assessment of the impacts of multipurpose dams. It is framed around the notion of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in the setting of the Water-Energy-Food nexus. The ... -
The Impact of U.S. Re-engagement in Climate on the Paris Targets
(Earth's Future, 2021)The Paris Agreement seeks to combine international efforts to keep global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. Whilst current ambitions in many signatories are insufficient to achieve this goal, optimism prevailed in ... -
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ... -
The importance of a holistic approach to the factors determining population abundances
(Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023)Ogilvie, J. E., & CaraDonna, P. J. (2022). The shifting importance of abiotic and biotic factors across the life cycles of wild pollinators. Journal of Animal Ecology, 91, 2412– 2423. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365- 2656.13825. ... -
The long-term restoration of ecosystem complexity
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2020-05-01)Multiple large-scale restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restoration often remains insufficient to offset that loss. To address this challenge, ... -

The nexus between climate change, ecosystem services and human health: Towards a conceptual framework
(Science of the Total Environment, 2018)This paper addresses the impact that changes in natural ecosystems can have on health and wellbeing focusing on the potential co-benefits that green spaces could provide when introduced as climate change adaptation measures. ... -

The Oyambre coastal terrace: a detailed sedimentary record of the Last Interglacial Stage in northern Iberia (Cantabrian coast, Spain)
(Journal of Quaternary Science, 2021-05-14)A detailed study is presented of a 15.3-m-thick Pleistocene coastal terrace located on the Cantabrian coast (northern Spain). Stratigraphic, sedimentological, topographic and micropalaeontological information is combined ... -
The path towards herd immunity: Predicting COVID-19 vaccination uptake through results from a stated choice study across six continents
(Social Science and Medicine, 2022-04-01)... -
The potential land requirements and related land use change emissions of solar energy
(Nature, 2021-02-03)Although the transition to renewable energies will intensify the global competition for land, the potential impacts driven by solar energy remain unexplored. In this work, the potential solar land requirements and related ... -
The potential of behavioural change for climate change mitigation: a case study for the European Union
(Springer, 2018)Mainstream literature on climate change concentrates overwhelmingly on technological solutions for this global long-term problem, while a change towards climate-friendly behaviour could play a role in emission reduction ... -
The potential of ecosystem-based management to integrate biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision in aquatic ecosystems
(Science of the Total Environment, 2019)Global aquatic biodiversity keeps declining rapidly, despite international efforts providing a variety of policies and legislations that identify goals for, and give directions to protecting the world's aquatic fauna and ...
