Combined artificial intelligence, sustainable land management, and stakeholder engagement for integrated landscape management in Mediterranean watersheds
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2023)In the context of water scarcity, soil erosion, and biodiversity decline, the Mediterranean basin urges to manage its nearly hundred coastal watersheds in a coordinated manner. To this end, we propose an integrated approach ... -
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ... -
Combining eight research areas to foster the uptake of ecosystem-based management in fresh waters
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)Freshwater ecosystems are under a constant risk of being irreversibly damaged by human pressures that threaten their biodiversity, the sustainability of ecosystem services (ESs), and human well-being. Despite the implementation ... -
Community-level reorganizations following migratory pollinator dynamics along a latitudinal gradient
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020)Predicting how communities re-arrange in response to changes in species composition remains a key challenge in ecology. Migratory species, which enter and leave communities across latitudinal gradients, offer us a unique ... -
Comparable GHG emissions from animals in wildlife and livestock-dominated savannas
(npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023)Pastoralism in Old World savannas is known to emit a significant share of global livestock-sourced greenhouse gases (GHG). Here, we compare calculated emissions from animals in a wildlife-dominated savanna (14.3 Mg km−2), ... -
Comparative analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of Delta and Non-Delta spaces of Ghana: An input-output approach
(African Review of Economics and Finance, 2019-07-08)This paper provides insights into the current socioeconomic and biophysical state of the Volta Delta, Ghana. We employed non-survey methods, notably the Flegg Location Quotient (FLQ) method of regionalization and ... -
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
(Elsevier, 2020)The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ... -
Competitive ability, stress tolerance and plant interactions along stress gradients
(Ecological Society of America, 2018)Exceptions to the generality of the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) may be reconciled by considering species-specific traits and stress tolerance strategies. Studies have tested stress tolerance and competitive ability ... -
Conceptual advancement of socio-ecological modelling of ecosystem services for re-evaluating Brownfield land
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)Essential environmental resources are rapidly exploited globally, while social-ecological systems at different scales fail to meet sustainable development challenges. Ecosystem services research, which at present predominantly ... -
Conceptual advancement of socio-ecological modelling of ecosystem services for re-evaluating Brownfield land
(Ecosystem Services, 2018-10-01)Essential environmental resources are rapidly exploited globally, while social-ecological systems at different scales fail to meet sustainable development challenges. Ecosystem services research, which at present predominantly ... -
Connected Conservation: Rethinking conservation for a telecoupled world
(Biological Conservation, 2023)The convergence of the biodiversity and climate crises, widening of wealth inequality, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the urgent need to mobilize change to secure sustainable futures. Centres of tropical ... -
Conservation needs to integrate knowledge across scales
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2022-02-01)... -
Consumer Insights to Eco-Design a Hot Sauce: Understanding Household Use for Product Optimization through Focus Groups and a Home-Use-Test Study
(Foods, 2024-03-01)Promoting sustainable choices requires making food with proper environmental performance readily available to consumers, but these products must be appealing to ensure market success. The aim of the present study was to ... -
Consumer purchases of energy-efficient cars: How different labelling schemes could affect consumer response to price changes
(Energy Policy, 2020)Improved energy efficiency can help reduce pollution, contribute to energy security, and help consumers save money. This paper explores energy labelling schemes as a policy instrument for promoting energy-efficient cars ... -
Consumers’ preferences regarding energy efficiency: a qualitative analysis based on the household and services sectors in Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)Informational failures frequently lead consumers to make non-optimal energy-efficient purchasing decisions. Energy efficiency labels seek to influence consumer behaviour at the point of sale by reducing informational ... -
Contribution of the land sector to a 1.5 °C world
(Nature Climate Change, 2019)The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector ... -
Convergence and divergence in science and practice of urban and rural forest restoration
(Biological Reviews, 2024-02-01)Forest restoration has never been higher on policymakers' agendas. Complex and multi-dimensional arrangements across the urban–rural continuum challenge restorationists and require integrative approaches to strengthen ... -
COP23: Technical profile with relevant political support
(Dyna (Spain), 2018-01-01)La Conferencia de las Partes de la Con-vención Marco de Naciones Unidas para el Cambio Climático (UNFCCC, por sus siglas en inglés), conocida como la COP 23, se celebró en Bonn (Alemania) entre los días 7 y 18 de noviembre ... -
Cost-effective restoration and conservation planning in Green and Blue Infrastructure designs. A case study on the Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean: Andalusia (Spain) Morocco
(Elsevier, 2019)Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) is a network designed and planned to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and to protect biodiversity. Existing GBI designs lacked a systematic method to allocate restoration zones. ... -
(Counter)mapping renewables: Space, justice, and politics of wind and solar power in Mexico
(Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, 2022)The ongoing expansion of renewable energies entails major spatial reconfigurations with social, environmental, and political dimensions. These emerging geographies are, however, in the process of taking shape, as their ...
