Carbon footprint of transhumant sheep farms: accounting for natural baseline emissions in Mediterranean systems
(International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2023)Purpose: Transhumance has rarely been analyzed through LCA approaches, and there is little evidence about its emissions level when conducted under different practices (by truck or on foot) or compared to sedentary livestock ... -
Carbon footprint, municipality size and rurality in Spain: Inequality and carbon taxation
(Elsevier, 2020)By using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output model, this paper analyses the Spanish households carbon footprint for the 2008 2017 period considering the municipality size as well as the urban or rural ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(Biogeosciences, 2020)The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 2: Untangling climatic, edaphic, management and nitrogen deposition effects on carbon sequestration potentials
(Biogeosciences, 2020-03-26)"The effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition (N-dep) on carbon (C) sequestration in forests have often been assessed by relating differences in productivity to spatial variations of N-dep across a large geographic domain. ... -
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ... -
Challenges and directions toward a general theory of ecological recovery dynamics: A metacommunity perspective
(One Earth, 2021-08-20)Global change degrades ecosystems worldwide. Scientific research has advanced our knowledge of the impacts of global change on ecosystems. Comparatively, however, it remains unclear how ecosystems recover after disturbances. ... -
Challenges for the balanced attribution of livestock's environmental impacts: The art of conveying simple messages around complex realities
(Animal Frontiers, 2023-04-01)... -
Challenges in the harmonisation of global integrated assessment models: A comprehensive methodology to reduce model response heterogeneity
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2021)Harmonisation sets the ground to a solid inter-comparison of integrated assessment models. A clear and transparent harmonisation process promotes a consistent interpretation of the modelling outcomes divergences and, ... -
Challenging Harmony to Save Nature? Environmental Activism and Ethics in Taiwan and Japan
(International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 2021-01-01)To save nature, environmental activists in Taiwan and Japan are willing to change their behavior and society itself, challenging harmony in their communities. This paper explores the tension between globally relevant ... -

Changes in institutional and social–ecological system robustness due to the adoption of large-scale irrigation technology in Navarre (Spain)
(Environmental Policy and Governance, 2020-07-01)Many regional and national organisations promote the modernisation of agriculture by supporting new technologies to increase their territory's competitiveness in a free-market context. Such technologies and their associated ... -
Characterising the rural-urban gradient through the participatory mapping of ecosystem services: Insights for landscape planning
(Pensoft Publishers, 2018)The application of the ecosystem services (ES) framework in landscape planning has become particularly relevant in rural-urban gradients since it allows for the integration of the complex interactions between ES supply and ... -
Climate adaptation indicators and metrics: State of local policy practice
(Ecological Indicators, 2022)Recent systematic reviews show that, overall, and across governance levels and sectors, climate change adaptation monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are rarely programmed and implemented. As a result, there is a ... -
Climate and sustainability co-governance in Kenya: A multi-criteria analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and consensus
(Energy for Sustainable Development, 2022)The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development embody highly intertwined targets to act for climate in conjunction with sustainable development. This, however, entails different meanings and challenges ... -
Climate change and heatwaves in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)In this paper we analyse the probabilistic behaviour of heatwaves (HWs) in the main coastal cities of the Basque Country (Bayonne, Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian) in the twentyfirst century. We estimate HW behaviour ... -
Climate change effects on northern Spanish grassland-based dairy livestock systems
(Plant and Soil, 2023)Background: Understanding the effects of climate change on agro-ecosystems is fundamental in order to select the optimum management practices to mitigate environmental pressures. There is a need to forecast greenhouse gas ... -
Climate change impact, adaptation, and mitigation in temperate grazing systems: A review
(MDPI, 2019)Managed temperate grasslands occupy 25% of the world, which is 70% of global agricultural land. These lands are an important source of food for the global population. This review paper examines the impacts of climate change ... -
CLIMATE CHANGE IN HIGH-MOUNTAIN REGIONS An international perspective and a look at the Pyrenees
(Metode, 2022)High mountains are among the regions most affected by climate change. The complex network of interactions between climate, biological, and sociocultural structures in these regions is being altered by the changing climate. ... -
Climate change induced socio-economic tipping points: Review and stakeholder consultation for policy relevant research
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Tipping points have become a key concept in research on climate change, indicating points of abrupt transition in biophysical systems as well as transformative changes in adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the ... -
Climate change perception: Driving forces and their interactions
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2020-06-01)Public perception of climate change can either facilitate or hinder the implementation of climate policies. This perception is dependent on a number of influencing factors, called drivers, in ways that are still not clearly ...
