Machine learning for ecosystem services
(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
(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 ... -
Modeling regional effects of climate change on soil organic carbon in Spain
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science, 2018)Soil organic C (SOC) stock assessments at the regional scale under climate change scenarios are of paramount importance in implementing soil management practices to mitigate climate change. In this study, we estimated the ... -
Modeling trade-offs across carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and equity in the distribution of global REDD+ funds
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019)The program on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is one of the major attempts to tackle climate change mitigation in developing countries. REDD+ seeks to provide result-based incentives ... -
Modelling solid waste management solutions: The case of Campania, Italy
(Elsevier, 2018)The waste crisis in Campania has inspired a huge body of literature that has described its complex nature. Quantitative analysis in this regard provides useful insight into single aspects of the problem but from a static ... -
Multi-temporal influence of vegetation on soil respiration in a droughtaffected forest
(SISEF, 2018)Aboveground plant activity influences fine roots and rhizosphere activity, which is reflected on soil respiration (SR). However, it is still unclear and poorly understood the nature of plant activity control over SR, ... -
Multiple perspectives of resilience: A holistic approach to resilience assessment using cognitive maps in practitioner engagement
(Elsevier, 2020)Resilience has become a regulatory concept influencing investment decisions in the water and wastewater sector. However, current assessments predominantly focus on technical resilience and on engineering solutions. Here ... -
Natural insurance as condition for market insurance: Climate change adaptation in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper focuses on the potential use of insurance as a climate change adaptation mechanism in agriculture. We analyse the attractiveness of a climate risk insurance scheme and the choices farmers face between adaptation ... -
Nature s contributions to people in mountains: A review
(PLoS One, 2019)Mountains play a key role in the provision of nature s contributions to people (NCP) worldwide that support societies quality of life. Simultaneously, mountains are threatened by multiple drivers of change. Due to the ... -
New coal-fired plants jeopardise paris agreement
(MDPI, 2017)Global greenhouse gas emissions need to peak soon and be reduced practically to zero in the second half of this century in order to not exceed the climate targets adopted in the Paris Agreement. However, there are currently ... -

Off-stage ecosystem service burdens: A blind spot for global sustainability
(IOP Publishing, 2017-07)The connected nature of social-ecological systems has never been more apparent than in today's globalized world. The ecosystem service framework and associated ecosystem assessments aim to better inform the science-policy ... -
On flexible hydropower and security of supply: Spain beyond 2020
(Elsevier, 2020)Generation adequacy is a key ingredient to security of electricity supply (SoS). Some national plans envisage a future decrease in the number of coal-fired stations and an increase in renewable installed capacity. This ... -
Operationalizing risk-based cumulative effect assessments in the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2020)Ecosystem-based management requires an assessment of the cumulative effects of human pressures and environmental change. The operationalization and integration of cumulative effects assessments (CEA) into decision-making ... -
¿Para qué impactos climáticos se preparan las ciudades españolas?
