A typology of elementary forms of human-nature relations: a contribution to the valuation debate
(Elsevier, 2018)This article aims to contribute to the debate about the role of relational values in environmental decision making, by putting forward a typology of human-nature relational models . We argue that human-nature relational ... -
Accounting for diverse cultural values in freshwater management plans by using a transparent and collaborative decision support system based on multi-criteria decision analysis
(New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2021-01-01)"The inadequate success of decades-long attempts to restore aquatic biodiversity casts doubt on the effectiveness of common top-down driven approaches that focus on ecological and socio-economic objectives alone. A way ... -
Accounting for economic factors in socio-hydrology: Optimization under uncertainty and climate change
(MDPI, 2019)This paper reframes the socio-hydrology analysis as an optimization problem. To achieve this, we first develop a valuation scheme to estimate net benefits of development in a flood plain, consisting of benefits obtained ... -
Accounting for erroneous model structures in biokinetic process models
(Elsevier, 2020)In engineering practice, model-based design requires not only a good process-based model, but also a good description of stochastic disturbances and measurement errors to learn credible parameter values from observations. ... -
Accounting for Raw Material Embodied in Imports by Multi-regional Input-Output Modelling and Life Cycle Assessment, Using Finland as a Study Case
(Elsevier, 2018)The two main methods used to estimate raw material embodied in imports are life cycle assessment (LCA) and multi-regional input-output (MRIO) models. The key advantage of LCA is its higher product resolution but it relies ... -
Accounting for the effects of employment, equity, and risk aversion in cost-benefit analysis: An application to an adaptation project
(Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, 2021-06-01)This paper sets out to explore to what extent integrating employment effects, equity, and risk aversion within cost-benefit analysis (CBA) affect the economic appraisal of a climate change adaptation project designed to ... -
Adaptation planning in large cities is unlikely to be effective
(Elservier, 2021)The assessment of public adaptation policies, strategies and plans to evaluate progress, effectiveness and long-term sustainability is challenging. The potential to develop an ex-post evaluation linked to outcomes is limited ... -
Adaptation to climate change in cities of Mediterranean Europe
(Cities, 2023-09-01)Cities across Mediterranean Europe face common climatic threats. They are highly vulnerable and very likely to suffer losses and damages due to heat waves, droughts, wildfires, landslides, and extreme coastal events. To ... -
Adaptation to Climate Change in Rainfed Agriculture in the Global South: Soil Biodiversity as Natural Insurance
(Elsevier, 2018)Increased drought frequency in many parts of the world, especially in the global South, is expected due to accelerating climate change. We present a bioeconomic model that unpacks the role of soil biodiversity as contributing ... -
Adaption planning to climate change in industrial fisheries: Progress in the Basque tropical tuna fishery
(Marine Policy, 2024-03-01)Climate change impacts on ocean living organisms and ecosystems have flow-on effects on fisheries and their associated values. Industrial fisheries operate long distance fleets that potentially have the capacity to respond ... -
Added value of EURO-CORDEX downscaling over the complex orography region of the Pyrenees
(Climate Dynamics, 2024-01-01)This study presents an assessment of the added value of downscaling utilizing Regional Climate Models (RCMs) compared to Global Climate Models (GCMs) in the high mountain region of the Pyrenees, characterized by complex ... -
Addendum to Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(IOP Publishing, 2018)This addendum adds to the analysis presented in Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities Abadie et al (2017 Environ. Res. Lett . 12 [https://doi.org/10.1088 ... -
Advancing ocean equity at the nexus of development, climate and conservation policy
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2024-07-01)Achieving inclusive and sustainable ocean economies, long-term climate resilience and effective biodiversity conservation requires urgent and strategic actions from local to global scales. We discuss fundamental changes ... -
Advancing protected area effectiveness assessments by disentangling social-ecological interactions: A case study from the Luangwa Valley, Zambia
(Conservation Science and Practice, 2023-08-01)Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) target at biodiversity conservation and human well-being, but often reflect low levels of effectiveness. Understanding PCAs social-ecological systems in which people and nature interact ... -
African Review of Economics and Finance
(African Journals Online (RF) S.A, 2019)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 construction ... -
Agent-based modelling to assess community food security and sustainable livelihoods
(SimSoc Consortium, 2018)We present a methodological approach for constructing an agent-based model (ABM) to assess community food security and variation among livelihood trajectories, using rural Malawi as a case study. The approach integrates ... -
Agro-economic and socio-environmental assessments of food and virtual water trades of Iran
(Scientific Reports, 2021-12-01)Ending hunger and ensuring food security are among targets of 2030 s SDGs. While food trade and the embedded (virtual) water (VW) may improve food availability and accessibility for more people all year round, the ... -
Allometric biomass models for european beech and silver fir: Testing approaches to minimize the demand for site-specific biomass observations
(Forests, 2020)In this paper, site-specific allometric biomass models were developed for European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) to estimate the aboveground biomass in Sinca virgin forest, Romania. Several ... -
Alteration of the tree–soil microbial system triggers a feedback loop that boosts holm oak decline
(Functional Ecology, 2023)In anthropic savanna ecosystems from the Iberian Peninsula (i.e. dehesa), complex interactions between climate change, pathogen outbreaks and human land use are presumed to be behind the observed increase in holm oak ... -
Altered leaf litter quality exacerbates the negative impact of climate change on decomposition
(Journal of Ecology, 2019-01-01)Leaf litter decomposition is a key component of global biogeochemical cycles that influence soil carbon storage, nutrient availability and plant productivity. Ongoing climate change will lead to warmer and drier conditions ...
