Recent transformation of intertidal environments under a sea-level rise scenario: Examples from northern Spain
(Geogaceta, 2019-01-01)The transformation of two intertidal environments from northern Spain during the last 150 years shows an evolution from a tidal flat into a salt marsh environment, with an intermediate transitional stage. The environment ... -
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 ... -
Regenerative rangeland management farmers in Spain: enthusiastic among a great diversity in farming conditions
(Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 2023)Regenerative Rangeland Management (RRM) is emerging as one of the most promising approaches to achieving sustainability of animal production at economic, social and environmental levels. The current bottleneck in RRM is a ... -
Regional climate change policies: An analysis of commitments, policy instruments and targets
(Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment, 2019)Regional governments represent an increasingly relevant component in climate change policies, which showcase a high interest in the climate change sphere and provide several benefits connected with their governance. This ... -
Regional Soil Nutrient Balances for Cropland in 1920s Catalonia, Spain
(Social Science History, 2021-09-06)Understanding the replacement of soil nutrients removed by harvests makes it possible to understand the influence of humans on long-term soil fertility. This article calculates nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium balances ... -
Relational quality and uncertainty in common pool water management: an exploratory lab experiment
(Scientific Reports, 2021-12-01)If there is one certainty for the sustainable management of water resources is that facing uncertainty is an unavoidable matter. A concern that, in addition to the best available scientific knowledge and models, requires ... -
Relationships between large-scale climate modes and the South Atlantic Ocean wave climate
(Progress in Oceanography, 2021-09-01)Modes of variability in ocean wave conditions are coupled to atmospheric circulation changes due to exchange of energy and momentum at the interface. Here, we explored for the South Atlantic Ocean the relations between ... -
Relocating croplands could drastically reduce the environmental impacts of global food production
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2022)Agricultural production has replaced natural ecosystems across the planet, becoming a major driver of carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and freshwater consumption. Here we combined global crop yield and environmental ... -
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 ... -
Research priorities for seafood-dependent livelihoods under ocean climate change extreme events
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)The current magnitude of ocean extreme events already exceeds the end-of-the-decade scenario estimates, and therefore incremental adaptation measures will render insufficient for seafood-dependent livelihoods. Nevertheless, ... -
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 ... -
Responses of submerged macrophytes and periphyton to warming under two nitrogen scenarios: A microcosm study
(HYDROBIOLOGIA, 2021)Warming and higher nitrogen loading induced by increasing precipitation are expected scenarios in north temperate regions as consequence of global climate change, with potential effects on the functional traits of submerged ... -

Restaurando la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas: La importancia de las interacciones entre especies
(AEET, 2019)Restoration of natural ecosystems has traditionally focused on recovering specific richness to recover ecosystem functionality. However, species within a natural ecosystem are not isolated, they interact with others forming ... -
Restoration and repair of Earth s damaged ecosystems
(The Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 2018)Given that few ecosystems on the Earth have been unaffected by humans, restoring them holds great promise for stemming the biodiversity crisis and ensuring ecosystem services are provided to humanity. Nonetheless, few ... -
Restricting water withdrawals of the thermal power sector: An input-output analysis for the northeast of the United States
(Elsevier, 2018)As water scarcity and pollution of sources become increasingly severe and widespread, competition over this resource intensifies. Unlike much of the rest of the world, thermal power plants in the US are the biggest users ...
