Influence of farm diversity on nitrogen and greenhouse gas emission sources from key European dairy cattle systems: A step towards emission mitigation and nutrient circularity
(Agricultural Systems, 2024)European dairy cattle production systems (DPS) are facing multiple challenges that threaten their social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In this context, it is crucial to implement options to promote the ... -
Influence of precision livestock farming on the environmental performance of intensive dairy goat farms
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022-06-01)The implementation of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concepts has been pointed out as an indirect strategy that could potentially help mitigating the environmental impacts of livestock production systems. To date, few ... -
Information, Experience, and Willingness to Mitigate Mental Health Consequences From Flooding Through Collective Defence
(Water Resources Research, 2022-04-01)Demand for reducing mental health impacts from flooding through collective flood defence is elicited using a contingent valuation method with a sequential hypothetical scenario, which accounts for human resilience and ... -
Insights on the economic estimates of the climate costs of the aviation sector due to air management in 2018-19
(Dyna (Spain), 2021-07-20)Air navigation service providers ensure that aircrafts keep safely apart by prescribing vertical and horizontal distances to each other. In the European Union and its associated members, regulation is carried out via a ... -
Insights on urban and periurban adaptation strategies based on stakeholders' perceptions on hard and soft responses to climate change
(MDPI, 2019)Adapting to expected impacts of climate change is a task shared by multiple institutions and individuals, but much of this work falls over local and regional authorities, which has made them experts over the issue. At the ... -
Institutional challenges in putting ecosystem service knowledge in practice
(Elsevier, 2018)The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on ecosystem services is actually used to inform land and water management in 22 case ... -
Institutionalisation of urban climate adaptation: three municipal experiences in Spain
(Buildings and Cities, 2022)Comparative studies of urban adaptation have evaluated the progress, means and scope of adaptation planning. Practice on the ground shows that the local politics of climate adaptation advance through various strategies to ... -
Integrated policy assessment and optimisation over multiple sustainable development goals in Eastern Africa
(IOP, 2019-08-20)Heavy reliance on traditional biomass for household energy in eastern Africa has significant negative health and environmental impacts. The African context for energy access is rather different from historical experiences ... -
Integrating belowground carbon dynamics into Yield-SAFE, a parameter sparse agroforestry model
(Springer, 2018)Agroforestry combines perennial woody elements (e.g. trees) with an agricultural understory (e.g. wheat, pasture) which can also potentially be used by a livestock component. In recent decades, modern agroforestry systems ... -
Integrating methods for ecosystem service assessment: Experiences from real world situations
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The Ecosystem Services (ES) concept highlights the varied contributions the environment provides to humans and there are a wide range of methods/tools available to assess ES. However, in real-world decision contexts a ... -
Interactive effects of forest die-off and drying-rewetting cycles on C and N mineralization
(Elsevier, 2019)Mediterranean forests will experience more frequent and intense drought periods and extreme rainfall events in the coming decades. Concomitantly, drought-induced forest die-off is likely to increase. Changes in rainfall ... -
International trade and the distribution of economy-wide benefits from the disbursement of climate finance
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)In the framework of recent international climate negotiations, industrialized countries have committed to transfer at least USD 100 billion per year to developing countries from 2020. Climate finance has become the subject ... -
Introducing the H2020 AQUACROSS project: Knowledge, Assessment, and Management for AQUAtic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services aCROSS EU policies
(Elsevier, 2019)The AQUACROSS project was an unprecedented effort to unify policy concepts, knowledge, and management of freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems to support the cost-effective achievement of the targets set by the EU ... -
Investment in wind-based hydrogen production under economic and physical uncertainties
(Applied Energy, 2023)This paper evaluates the economic viability of a combined wind-based green-hydrogen facility from an investor's viewpoint. The paper introduces a theoretical model and demonstrates it by example. The valuation model assumes ... -

Is it all about supply? Demand-side effects on the Spanish electricity market following Covid-19 lockdown policies
(Utilities Policy, 2023)A key characteristic of electricity prices is their sensitivity to changes in supply and demand. In this sense, the Covid-19 lockdown policies modified electricity consumption patterns at both business and household levels, ... -
Is renewable energy a cost-effective mitigation resource? An application to the Spanish electricity market
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper evaluates the net effect of renewable energy policy in Spain from 2002 to 2017 and calculates its cost-effectiveness in terms of CO2 emission reductions in the production of electricity. Our conclusions indicate ... -
Is Seasonal Households' Consumption Good for the Nexus Carbon/Water Footprint? the Spanish Fruits and Vegetables Case
(American Chemical Society, 2018)Proximity and in-season consumption criteria have been suggested as solutions for fruits and vegetables consumers to drive the economy to a more sustainable development. Using a new concept, seasonal avoided footprint by ... -
Isotopic offsets between bulk plant water and its sources are larger in cool and wet environments
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022)Isotope-based approaches to study plant water sources rely on the assumption that root water uptake and within-plant water transport are non-fractionating processes. However, a growing number of studies have reported offsets ... -
