Banking on strong rural livelihoods and the sustainable use of natural capital in post-conflict Colombia
(Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2023)In post-conflict Colombia, the government has prioritized resettlement of displaced people through development of strong rural livelihoods and the sustainable use of natural capital. In this paper, we considered government ... -
Barriers to ecological restoration in Europe: expert perspectives
(RESTORATION ECOLOGY, 2021)Ecological restoration is key to counteracting anthropogenic degradation of biodiversity and to reducing disaster risk. However, there is limited knowledge of barriers hindering the wider implementation of restoration ... -
Benefits From Water Related Ecosystem Services in Africa and Climate Change
(Ecological Economics, 2018-07-01)The present study collects original monetary estimates for water related ecosystem service benefits on the African continent from 36 valuation studies. A database of 178 monetary estimates is constructed to conduct a ... -
Beyond participation: How to achieve the recognition of local communities’ value-systems in conservation? Some insights from Mexico
(People and Nature, 2021-06-01)In this article, we explore why conservation schemes that have positive outcomes through the participation of local communities cannot necessarily be deemed as just. We observe that recognition (understood as inclusion and ... -
BINCOR: An r package for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series
(The R Foundation, 2019)This paper presents a computational program named BINCOR (BINned CORrelation) for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series. This program is also applicable to the situation of two evenly spaced ... -
Biocultural vulnerability exposes threats of culturally important species
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023-01-01)There are growing calls for conservation frameworks that, rather than breaking the relations between people and other parts of nature, capture place-based relationships that have supported social-ecological systems over ... -
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Sustainability, 2021)The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ... -
Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
(Ecosystem Services, 2020)We present methods and results of country-based natural capital assessments for four ecosystem services (ES) in Italy. The spatial mapping and the assessment have been carried out in both physical and monetary terms for ... -
Biophysical and socioeconomic state and links of deltaic areas vulnerable to climate change: Volta (Ghana), Mahanadi (India) and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (India and Bangladesh)
(MDPI, 2018)We examine the similarities and differences of specific deltaic areas in parallel, under the project DEltas, vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA). The main reason for studying Deltas is their ... -
Border Carbon Adjustments Based on Avoided Emissions: Addressing the Challenge of Its Design
(Elsevier, 2018)Carbon pricing is an essential instrument to address climate change. However international differences in carbon control policies may cause not only carbon leakage but also competitiveness disadvantages. In this context, ... -
Building Risk into the Mitigation/Adaptation Decisions simulated by Integrated Assessment Models
(Springer Nature, 2019)This paper proposes an operationally simple and easily generalizable methodology to incorporate climate change damage uncertainty into Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). First uncertainty is transformed into a risk measure ... -
Can existing assessment tools be used to track equity in protected area management under Aichi Target 11?
(Biological Conservation, 2018-08-01)Aichi Target 11 (AT11) includes the commitment of 194 governments to equitably manage protected areas (PAs) by 2020. Here we evaluate whether existing PA Management Effectiveness (PAME) and social and governance assessment ... -
Can we estimate the impact of small targeted dietary changes on human health and environmental sustainability?
(Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2023-09-01)A recent analysis by Stylianou et al. (2021) estimated the impact of small dietary changes in the consumption of individual foods on human health and the environment, expressed as minutes of healthy life lost or gained ... -
Carbon footprint of dairy goat production systems: A comparison of three contrasting grazing levels in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (Southern Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019)The main objective of this study was to analyze the carbon footprint (CF) of grazing dairy goat systems in a natural park according to their grazing level. A total of 16 representative grazing goat farms in southern Spain ... -
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. ...
