Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems
(Journal of Ecology, 2021-08-01)Ensuring stable food supplies is a major challenge for the 21st century. There is consensus that increased food production is necessary, but not sufficient, to achieve food security, and that agriculture should also aim ... -
Habitat fragmentation is linked to cascading effects on soil functioning and CO2 emissions in Mediterranean holm-oak-forests
(PeerJ, 2018)We studied key mechanisms and drivers of soil functioning by analyzing soil respiration and enzymatic activity in Mediterranean holm oak forest fragments with different influence of the agricultural matrix. For this, ... -
Harmonising the land-use flux estimates of global models and national inventories for 2000-2020
(Earth Syst. Sci. Data, 2023-03-01)As the focus of climate policy shifts from pledges to implementation, there is a growing need to track progress on climate change mitigation at the country level, particularly for the land-use sector. Despite new tools and ... -
Health co-benefits and mitigation costs as per the Paris Agreement under different technological pathways for energy supply
(Elsevier, 2020)This study assesses the reductions in air pollution emissions and subsequent beneficial health effects from different global mitigation pathways consistent with the 2 °C stabilization objective of the Paris Agreement. We ... -
Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ... -
Heat stress risk in European dairy cattle husbandry under different climate change scenarios-uncertainties and potential impacts
(EGU Publications, 2019)In the last decades, a global warming trend was observed. Along with the temperature increase, modifications in the humidity and wind regime amplify the regional and local impacts on livestock husbandry. Direct impacts ... -
Herbivory baseline estimates in Spanish protected areas, and environmental implications
(Landscape Ecology, 2023-12-01)Context: There are no estimations of herbivory baselines in Spain. Due to the bioclimatic conditions, ungulates have maintained Open Ecosystems until the Holocene. Pastoral tradition later fulfilled the niche of wild ... -
Hidden Energy Flow indicator to reflect the outsourced energy requirements of countries
; ; ; Bueno Mendieta, Gorka
; Arto, Iñaki ; ; (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021-01-01)
Globalisation and the outsourcing of industrial manufacturing from developed to less developed countries has an increasing effect on the national energy balances of most developed economies. The current standard metric ... -
Historical energy price shocks and their changing effects on the economy
(Elsevier, 2017)The purpose of this paper is to identify the changes in the impact of energy shocks on economic activity with an interest in assessing if an economy's vulnerability and resilience to shocks improved with economic ... -
Holm oak decline and mortality exacerbates drought effects on soil biogeochemical cycling and soil microbial communities across a climatic gradient
(Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020)The extent to which the increasingly frequent episodes of drought-induced tree decline and mortality could alter key soil biogeochemical cycles is unclear. Understanding this connection between tree decline and mortality ... -
Holm oak decline is determined by shifts in fine root phenotypic plasticity in response to belowground stress
; Esteban Terradillos, Raquel; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Wiley, 2022-09)
Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown-level changes in response to these stressful conditions have ... -
Holocene sea-level database from the Atlantic coast of Europe
(Elsevier, 2018)High-quality relative sea-level (RSL) data reveal spatial and temporal variations in crustal movements during the Holocene, which are used for many applications, ranging from calibrating models of earth rheology and ice ... -
Homeostatic Response to Three Years of Experimental Warming Suggests High Intrinsic Natural Resistance in the Páramos to Warming in the Short Term
(Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021)Páramos, tropical alpine ecosystems, host one of the world s most diverse alpine floras, account for the largest water reservoirs in the Andes, and some of the largest soil carbon pools worldwide. It is of global importance ... -
Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland
(MDPI, 2018)The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes. We analyzed over ... -
How are cities planning to respond to climate change? Assessment of local climate plans from 885 cities in the EU-28
(Elsevier, 2018)The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature rise this century to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. This target has wide-ranging implications for Europe and its cities, which are the source of ... -
How can we all help conserve nature?
(Frontiers for Young Minds, 2019)When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment. We asked an international group of scientists working ... -
How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ... -
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ... -
How regulating and cultural services of ecosystems have changed over time in Italy
(One Ecosystem, 2022)In this experimental study, different components are computed for three different ecosystem services (ES). Specifically, supply, demand and use are estimated for pollination service, flood risk regulation service and ... -
