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 ... -
Isótopos de Neodimio y Estroncio como indicadores del área fuente del material terrígeno depositado en el NE de Brasil
(Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana, 2018)This study investigates the sedimentary origin of materials deposited by the Amazon River over the last 30 kyr BP and reconstructs the precipitation pattern of the source area at the time of the erosion. For this purpose, ... -
Justice, sustainability, and the diverse values of nature: why they matter for biodiversity conservation
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)Aiming at just and sustainable futures for biodiversity conservation requires clarity concerning how justice relates to the diverse values of nature. By drawing upon and expanding on the recent Values Assessment of ... -
KEYLINK: Towards a more integrative soil representation for inclusion in ecosystem scale models - II: Model description, implementation and testing
(PeerJ, 2021)New knowledge on soil structure highlights its importance for hydrology and soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization, which however remains neglected in many wide used models. We present here a new model, KEYLINK, in which ... -
KEYLINK: Towards a more integrative soil representation for inclusion in ecosystem scale models. I. review and model concept
(PeerJ, 2020-01-01)The relatively poor simulation of the below-ground processes is a severe drawback for many ecosystem models, especially when predicting responses to climate change and management. For a meaningful estimation of ecosystem ... -
klima aldaketa sozioekonomiaren ikuspegitik
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2012)Ekarpen honek, azken urteotan hainbesteko garrantzia bereganatu duen klima-aldaketaren arazoa ikuspegi sozioekonomikotik aztertzea du helburu. Artikuluan, klima-aldaketaren eragin fisiko eta ekonomikoei aurre egiteko ... -
Klima-aldaketari buruzko hitzaurrea: inpaktuak eta egokitzapena
(Hegoak Zabalduz, 2021-03-10)Climate change is increasingly present in our lives and many define it as one of the most important challenges we face. Despite the scientific evidence collected for decades, there are still voices that question the ... -
Knowledge co-production and transdisciplinarity: Opening Pandora's box
(MDPI, 2019)This Special Issue aims to reflect on knowledge co-production and transdisciplinarity, exploring the mutual interaction between water governance and water research. We do so with contributions that bring examples from ... -
Land cover effects on hydrologic services under a precipitation gradient
(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
(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 ... -
Land-use practices (coppices and dehesas) and management intensity modulate responses of Holm oak growth to drought
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2023-02-15)Last decades increase in reported events of drought-induced tree mortality evidences how climate-change is transforming forest ecosystems all over the world. The parallel increase in human pressure over the land is also ... -
Landforms of the lower Hushe Valley (Central Karakoram, Pakistan)
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-12-09)This paper presents a new geomorphological map for the lower Hushe Valley (below 3400 m asl), located to the SE of the Central Karakoram in Baltistan (North Pakistan). Fieldwork and remote sensing were combined to improve ... -
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(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
(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 ... -
Last glacial hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula not just driven by ITCZ shifts
(Scientific Reports, 2023-12-01)We reconstructed hydroclimate variability in the Yucatán Peninsula (YP) based on stalagmite oxygen and carbon isotope records from a well-studied cave system located in the northeastern YP, a region strongly influenced by ... -
Legacies of past forest management determine current responses to severe drought events of conifer species in the Romanian Carpathians
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-01-10)Worldwide increases in droughts- and heat-waves-associated tree mortality events are destabilizing the future of many forests and the ecosystem services they provide. Along with climate, understanding the impact of the ... -
LEVELIZED COST OF ELECTRICITY: KEY DRIVERS AND VALUATION METHODS
(Dyna, 2019-11-15)The aim of this paper is to propose an improvement over traditional approaches to the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Basically there are two methods available. The first one considers a yearly timeframe, so it yields ... -
