Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient

Zabaleta, A.; Garmendia, E.; Mariel, P.; Tamayo, I.; Antigüedad Auzmendi, Ignacio (EGU Publications, 2018)

Climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle are altering the quantity, quality, and temporal distribution of riverine discharge, necessitating a more rigorous consideration of changes in land cover and land use. This ...

Land markets, Property rights, and Deforestation: Insights from Indonesia

Krishna, V.V.; Kubitza, C.; Pascual, U.; Qaim, M. (Elsevier, 2017)

We examine the emergence of land markets and their effects on forest land appropriation by farm households in Jambi Province, Sumatra, using micro-level data covering land use and land transactions for a period of more ...

Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach

Kay, S.; Crous-Duran, J.; García de Jalón, S.; Graves, A.; Palma, J.H.N.; Roces-Díaz, J.V.; Szerencsits, E.; Weibel, R.; Herzog, F. (Springer, 2018)

Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ...

Large-scale Irrigation Impacts Socio-cultural Values: An Example from Rural Navarre, Spain

Albizua, A.; Pascual, U.; Corbera, E. (Elsevier, 2019)

Large-scale irrigation is a form of agricultural intensification aimed at increasing productivity and adapting to climate change. However, we know little about how large-scale irrigation affects socio-cultural values over ...

Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality

Ruiz de Larrinaga, Lorena; Resco de Dios, Víctor; Fabrikov, Dmitri; Guil Guerrero, José Luis; Becerril Soto, José María; García Plazaola, José Ignacio; Esteban Terradillos, Raquel (MDPI, 2019-08)

Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ...

Long-term effectiveness of sustainable land management practices to control runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient loss and the role of rainfall intensity in Mediterranean rainfed agroecosystems

Martínez-Mena, M.; Carrillo-López, E.; Boix-Fayos, C.; Almagro, M.; García, Franco, N.; Díaz-Pereira, E.; Montoya, I.; de Vente, J. (Elsevier, 2020)

Mediterranean environments are especially susceptible to soil erosion and to inappropriate soil management, leading to accelerated soil loss. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices (such as reduced tillage, no-tillage, ...

Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees

DeSoto, L.; Cailleret, M.; Sterck, F.; Jansen, S.; Kramer, K.; Robert, E.M.R.; Aakala, T.; Amoroso, M.M.; Bigler, C.; Camarero, J.J.; Cufar, K.; Gea-Izquierdo, G.; Gillner, S.; Haavik, L.J.; Heres, A.-M.; Kane, J.M.; Kharuk, V.I.; Kitzberger, T.; Klein, T.; Levanic, T.; Linares, J.C.; Mäkinen, H.; Oberhuber, W.; Papadopoulos, A.; Rohner, B.; Sangüesa-Barreda, G.; Stojanovic, D.B.; Suárez, M.L.; Villalba, R.; Martínez-Vilalta, J. (Springer Nature, 2020)

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality. Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry conditions may be crucial to long-term ...

Low sensitivity of gross primary production to elevated CO2 in a mature eucalypt woodland

Yang, J.; Medlyn, B.E.; De, Kauwe, M.G.; Duursma, R.A.; Jiang, M.; Kumarathunge, D.; Crous, K.Y.; Gimeno, T.E.; Wujeska-Klause, A.; Ellsworth, D.S. (EGU Publications, 2020)

The response of mature forest ecosystems to a rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (span classCombining double low line"inline-formula"iC/ia/span) is a major uncertainty in projecting the future trajectory of ...

Machine learning for ecosystem services

Willcock, S.; Martínez-López, J.; Hooftman, D.A.P.; Bagstad, K.J.; Balbi, S.; Marzo, A.; Prato, C.; Sciandrello, S.; Signorello, G.; Voigt, B.; Villa, F.; Bullock, J.M.; Athanasiadis, I.N. (Elsevier, 2018)

Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed ...

Mind the map? Mapping the academic, citizen and professional stakeholder views on buildings and heating behaviour in Spain

López-Bernabé, E.; Foudi, S.; Galarraga, I. (Elsevier, 2020)

The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. The main use of energy by households is for heating. Consumers heating behaviour results from the ...
