Towards a multidimensional biodiversity index for national application
(Nature Sustainability, 2021-11-01)The lack of urgent action to reverse biodiversity loss is partly due to the complex nature of biodiversity as a feature of our planet. Subsequently, policymakers receive an often-confusing variety of narratives on why ... -
Towards globally customizable ecosystem service models
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)Scientists, stakeholders and decision makers face trade-offs between adopting simple or complex approaches when modeling ecosystem services (ES). Complex approaches may be time- and data-intensive, making them more challenging ... -
Transformation for inclusive conservation: evidence on values, decisions, and impacts in protected areas
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)As countries consider new area-based conservation targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity, protected areas (PAs) and their impacts on people and nature are coming under increasing scrutiny. We review the ... -
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on the ... -
Transparency and Reproducibility in Participatory Systems Modelling: the Case of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)By aggregating semi-quantitative mind maps from multiple agents, fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) allows developing an integrated, cross-sectoral understanding of complex systems. However, and especially for FCM based on ... -
Transport poverty indicators: A new framework based on the household budget survey
(Energy Policy, 2023-10-01)The energy transition represents an economic opportunity in many countries, but it can also disproportionately affect vulnerable households. Although increasing attention has been paid on energy poverty at homes, there is ... -
Tree growth response to drought partially explains regional-scale growth and mortality patterns in Iberian forests
(Ecological Applications, 2022-07-01)Tree-ring data has been widely used to inform about tree growth responses to drought at the individual scale, but less is known about how tree growth sensitivity to drought scales up driving changes in forest dynamics. ... -
Tree influence exacerbates the El Niño effects over soil CO<inf>2</inf> emissions and its microclimatic controls
(Applied Soil Ecology, 2020-03-01)Dryland ecosystems are considered the largest global carbon sink. However, extreme climate phenomena like the El Niño events (EN) may change soil respiration (Rs) the CO2 emitted from soils resulting from biological ... -
Tree vigour influences secondary growth but not responsiveness to climatic variability in Holm oak
(Elsevier, 2018)Many tree species from Mediterranean regions have started to show increased rates of crown defoliation, reduced groth, and dieback associated with the increase in temperatures and changes in the frequency and intensity of ... -
Triple exposure: Reducing negative impacts of climate change, blue growth, and conservation on coastal communities
(One Earth, 2023-02-17)Coastal communities are on the frontlines of three accelerating global change drivers, climate change, blue growth, and the expansion of area-based conservation, leading to a “triple exposure” scenario. Despite efforts to ... -
TRY plant trait database enhanced coverage and open access
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020)Plant traits the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Uncertainties in the value and opportunity costs of pollination services
(British Ecological Society, 2019)Pollination is an ecosystem service that directly contributes to agricultural production, and can therefore provide a strong incentive to conserve natural habitats that support pollinator populations. However, we have yet ... -
Underrated past herbivore densities could lead to misoriented sustainability policies.
(npj Biodiversity, 2023-01-06)Knowing the carrying capacity of the Earth’s grazed ecosystems, and the relevance of herbivory, is important for many scientific disciplines, as well as for policy. Current herbivore levels are estimated to be four to five ... -
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ... -
Unexplained hydrogen isotope offsets complicate the identification and quantification of tree water sources in a riparian forest
(EGU Publications, 2019)We investigated plant water sources of an emblematic refugial population of Fagus sylvatica (L.) in the Ciron river gorges in south-western France using stable water isotopes. It is generally assumed that no isotopic ... -
Unprecedented recent regional increase in organic carbon and lithogenic fluxes in high altitude Pyrenean lakes
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We have conducted a monitoring survey and paleolimnological study of a W-E transect of six high altitude lakes (1870–2630 m asl) in the western and central Pyrenees (Spain) to evaluate the regional response to current ... -
Unravelling Antarctica’s past through the stratigraphy of a deep ice core: an image-analysis study of the EPICA-DML line-scan images
(Elsevier, 2020)Polar ice research has undergone great progress in the last six decades. One of its recent technological achievements has been the development of new techniques for digital image recording and analysis of ice-core stratigraphy ... -
Urban green space: creating a triple win for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity through behavior change
(MDPI, 2019)Urbanization, costs of green space maintenance, and diminishing connection between people and nature all exert pressures on urban green space. This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for ... -
Use your power for good: Plural valuation of nature the Oaxaca statement
(Global sustainability, 2020)During a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in ... -
Use, value, and desire: ecosystem services under agricultural intensification in a changing landscape in West Kalimantan (Indonesia)
(Regional Environmental Change, 2023-12-01)A fundamental challenge is to understand and navigate trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) in dynamic landscapes and to account for interactions between local people and broad-scale drivers, such as agricultural ...
