A conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of dry riverbeds through the lens of soil science
(Elsevier, 2019)Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) encompass fluvial ecosystems that eventually stop flowing and run dry at some point in space and time. During the dry phase, channels of IRES consist mainly of dry riverbeds ... -
A Continental-Scale Validation of Ecosystem Service Models
(This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4 .0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appro, 2019)Faced with environmental degradation, governments worldwide are developing policies to safeguard ecosystem services (ES). Many ES models exist to support these policies, but they are generally poorly validated, especially ... -
A cross-scale worldwide analysis of coastal adaptation planning
(IOP Publishing, 2019)The Paris Agreement requires measurement of the progress made on adaptation. Tracking the progress made by governments through analysis of policies provides insight into the goals and means to achieve adaptation targets. ... -
A dynamic assessment of instrument interaction and timing alternatives in the EU low-carbon policy mix design
(ENERGY POLICY, 2018)The European Union low-carbon strategy includes a range of complementary policies. Potential interactions between instruments and different timing of their implementation can influence the cost and likelihood of achieving ... -
A game theory model to explore the role of cooperation and diversity in community food security: the case of Southern Malawi
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2020)The Sustainable Development Goals aim at ending food insecurity by 2030. Therefore, civil society needs to understand the inherent complexities of both socio-economic and ecological dynamics and their interdependencies. ... -
A global review of past land use, climate, and active vs. passive restoration effects on forest recovery
(PloS One, 2017)Global forest restoration targets have been set, yet policy makers and land managers lack guiding principles on how to invest limited resources to achieve them. We conducted a meta-analysis of 166 studies in naturally ... -
A meta-analysis of environmental factor effects on ammonia emissions from dairy cattle houses
(Elsevier, 2019)Livestock housing is one of the main sources of ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture. Different management and environmental factors are known to affect NH3 emissions from housing systems. The aim of this study was to ... -
A multi-resolution and multivariate analysis of the dynamic relationships between crude oil and petroleum-product prices
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper proposes the use of a novel multivariate, dynamic approach wavelet local multiple correlation (WLMC) (Fernández-Macho, 2018) to analyse the relationship between oil time series in the time-scale domain. This ... -
A multiple-uncertainty analysis framework for integrated assessment modelling of several sustainable development goals
(Elsevier, 2020)This research introduces a two-level integration of climate-economy modelling and portfolio analysis, to simulate technological subsidisation with implications for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), across ... -
A new approach for assessing natural patterns of flow variability and hydrological alterations: The case of the Spanish rivers
(Elsevier, 2019)Ensuring water is available for human use usually requires dams and reservoirs that severely affect river ecosystems. Hydrological alteration by river damming represents one of the most prominent human impacts on freshwater ... -
A novel optimization approach incorporating non-stomatal limitations predicts stomatal behaviour in species from six plant functional types
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO 2 assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced ... -
A pre-crisis vs. crisis analysis of peripheral EU stock markets by means of wavelet transform and a nonlinear causality test
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper presents an analysis of EU peripheral (so-called PIIGS) stock market indices and the SandP Europe 350 index (SPEURO), as a European benchmark market, over the pre-crisis (2004 2007) and crisis (2008 2011) periods. ... -
A reconstructed database of historic bluefin tuna captures in the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2018)This data paper presents a reconstruction of a compilation of a small but consistent database of historical capture records of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus; BFT hereafter) from the Gibraltar Strait and Western Mediterranean ... -
A systematic review of non-productivityrelated animal-based indicators of heat stress resilience in dairy cattle
(PLoS One, 2018)Introduction Projected temperature rise in the upcoming years due to climate change has increased interest in studying the effects of heat stress in dairy cows. Environmental indices are commonly used for detecting heat ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
