¿Para qué impactos climáticos se preparan las ciudades españolas?
(Ekonomiaz: Revista Vasca De Economía, 2020)Cities play an important role in identifying climate impacts on population, urbanization and infrastructure, and in making decisions regarding how, how much and when we should adapt. We present here an analysis of the ... -
Participatory coastal management through elicitation of ecosystem service preferences and modelling driven by coastal squeeze
(Elsevier, 2019)The Baixo Vouga Lagunar (BVL) is part of Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon in Portugal, which is classified as a Special Protection Area under the European Habitats and Birds Directives. This part of the system, corresponding ... -
Payments for ecosystem services or collective stewardship of mother earth? Applying deliberative valuation in an indigenous community in Colombia
(Elsevier, 2020)The literature on payments for ecosystem services (PES) applied in regions where indigenous peoples are key social actors has not cast much light on their preferences regarding the framing and design features that such ... -
Physical analysis of an Antarctic ice core-towards an integration of micro-and macrodynamics of polar ice
(Royal Society, 2017)Microstructures from deep ice cores reflect the dynamic conditions of the drill location as well as the thermodynamic history of the drill site and catchment area in great detail. Ice core parameters (crystal lattice-preferred ... -
Plural valuation of nature for equity and sustainability: Insights from the Global South
(Elsevier, 2020)Plural valuation is about eliciting the diverse values of nature articulated by different stakeholders in order to inform decision making and thus achieve more equitable and sustainable outcomes. We explore what approaches ... -
Powering newly constructed vessels to comply with ECA regulations under fuel market prices uncertainty: Diesel or dual fuel engine?
(Elsevier, 2019)Over the last decade, marine engine engineering has evolved considerably, to the point where engine technology can be considered mature and reliable using LNG as fuel without affecting safety at sea. This paper analyses ... -
Practical solutions for bottlenecks in ecosystem services mapping
(2018)A selection of commonly encountered ES mapping bottlenecks that relate to seven themes: i) map-maker map-user interaction; ii) nomenclature and ontologies; iii) skills and background; iv) data and maps availability; v) ... -
Presión antrópica sobre cuencas de drenaje en ecosistemas frágiles: variaciones en las existencias (stock) de carbono orgánico asociadas a cambios morfológicos fluviales
(Universidad de La Rioja, 2019)Anthropic changes in the drainage area of catchments can influence dominant erosion processes and sediment sources and mobilize specific carbon pools. It also causes changes in the sedimentary dynamics and thus in the ... -
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ... -
Providing access to urban green spaces: A participatory benefit-cost analysis in Spain
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020)The opening up of green spaces could provide significant benefits to society. This study develops a framework to assess the economic benefits and costs of public interventions providing citizen access to urban green spaces. ... -
Quantifying interregional flows of multiple ecosystem services A case study for Germany
(Elsevier, 2020)Despite a growing number of national-scale ecosystem service (ES) assessments, few studies consider the impacts of ES use and consumption beyond national or regional boundaries. Interregional ES flows ecosystem services ... -
Quantum Artificial Life in an IBM Quantum Computer
(Springer Nature, 2018)We present the first experimental realization of a quantum artificial life algorithm in a quantum computer. The quantum biomimetic protocol encodes tailored quantum behaviors belonging to living systems, namely, self-replication, ... -
Quantum autoencoders via quantum adders with genetic algorithms
(IOP Publishing, 2019)The quantum autoencoder is a recent paradigm in the field of quantum machine learning, which may enable an enhanced use of resources in quantum technologies. To this end, quantum neural networks with less nodes in the inner ... -
Reconciling global-model estimates and country reporting of anthropogenic forest CO 2 sinks
(Springer, 2018)Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement requires forest-based mitigation. Collective progress towards this goal will be assessed by the Paris Agreement s Global stocktake. At present, there is a ... -
Recovery of lakes and coastal marine ecosystems from eutrophication: A global meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2017)In order to inform policies aimed at reducing nutrient emissions to surface waters, it is essential to understand how aquatic ecosystems respond to eutrophication management. Using data from 89 studies worldwide, we examined ... -
Recuperación de las interacciones entre el haya (Fagus sylvatica) y los hongos ectomicorrícicos 140 años después del fin de la actividad minera
(AEET, 2019)Even the increasing use of restoration, it does not always imply a shortterm answer in ecosystems that guarantees the recovery of their structure, functions, and services. So far, most studies evaluating ecosystem recovery ... -
Reduce blue water scarcity and increase nutritional and economic water productivity through changing the cropping pattern in a catchment
(Elsevier, 2020)Water-stressed countries need to plan their food security and reduce the pressure on their limited water resources. Agriculture, the largest water-using sector, has a major role in addressing water scarcity and food security ... -
Regeneration in the understory of declining overstory trees contributes to soil respiration homeostasis along succession in a sub-Mediterranean beech forest
(MDPI, 2019)Research Highlights: Tree decline can alter soil carbon cycling, given the close relationship between primary production and the activity of roots and soil microbes. Background and Objectives: We studied how tree decline ... -
Renewable energy regulation and structural breaks: An empirical analysis of Spanish electricity price volatility
(ENERGY ECONOMICS, 2020)International experience proves that electricity prices have undergone major changes in volatility since the entry of green technologies. The intermittency of renewable sources is one of the reasons for these changes, as ... -
Responses of sub-Saharan smallholders to climate change: Strategies and drivers of adaptation
(Elsevier, 2018)Rural farm households in sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to climate variability due to their limited adaptive capacity. This paper explores how adaptation strategies are adopted by small-holders in sub-Saharan Africa as ...
