Valuing deaths or years of life lost? Economic benefits of avoided mortality from early heat warning systems
(Springer, 2018)The study aims to explore the main drivers influencing the economic appraisal of heat warning systems by integrating epidemiological modelling and benefit-cost analysis. To shed insights on heat wave mortality valuation, ... -
Valuing Expansions of the Electricity Transmission Network under Uncertainty: The Binodal Case
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel
(MDPI, 2011-10)
Transmission investments are currently needed to meet an increasing electricity demand, to address security of supply concerns, and to reach carbon-emissions targets. A key issue when assessing the benefits from an expanded ... -
Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ... -
Variation in diversity–function relationships can be explained by species interactions
(Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023)Research Highlight: Wu, D., Xu, C., Wang, S., Zhang, L., & Kortsch, S. (2022). Why are biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships so elusive? Trophic interactions may amplify ecosystem function variability. Journal ... -
VisualDom: An R package for estimating dominant variables in dynamical systems[Formula presented]
(Software Impacts, 2023-05-01)The R package VisualDom estimates and plots the correlation coefficients obtained via the wavelet local multiple correlation and the variables that maximizes the wavelet multiple correlation through time and scale, i.e. ... -
Volcanism and climate change as drivers in Holocene depositional dynamic of Laguna del Maule (Andes of central Chile - 36° S)
(Climate of the Past, 2020-07-02)Late Quaternary volcanic basins are active landscapes from which detailed archives of past climate and seismic and volcanic activity can be obtained. A multidisciplinary study performed on a transect of sediment cores was ... -
W2CWM2C reloaded: Ten years later[Formula presented]
(Software Impacts, 2023)We present an updated version v2.2 of the R package W2CWM2C (a graphical tool for wavelet (cross) correlation and multiple wavelet (cross) correlation analysis) v1.0. W2CWM2C contains a set of R functions that improve the ... -
Water taken up through the bark is detected in the transpiration stream in intact upper-canopy branches
(Plant Cell and Environment, 2022)Alternative water uptake pathways through leaves and bark complement water supply with interception, fog or dew. Bark water-uptake contributes to embolism-repair, as demonstrated in cut branches. We tested whether bark ... -
We agree with Larkin et al. 2019: Restoration is context specific
(Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 2019)... -
“We are the Green Capital”: Navigating the political and sustainability fix narratives of urban greening
(Cities, 2022)With increasing attention on green(ing) cities, urban nature is used to increase liveability, to create new sectors such as tourism, and to boost international investment. What counts as desirable green intervention generally ... -
What can conservation strategies learn from the ecosystem services approach? Insights from ecosystem assessments in two Spanish protected areas
(Springer, 2018)Biodiversity conservation strategies that overlook the interests of local people are prone to create conflicts. The ecosystem service approach holds potential for more comprehensively integrating the social dimension into ... -
What climatic impacts are Spanish cities preparing for?
(Ekonomiaz, 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 ... -
What economic benefit is achieved by reducing air pollution through trees in the Basque Country?
(Ekonomiaz, 2020-01-01)This study estimates air pollution removal by trees in the Basque Country and calculates their economic value. The study has developed a model that simulates the process of dry deposition on trees on an hourly basis of ... -
What is the Price of Conservation? A Review of the Status Quo and Recommendations for Improving Cost Reporting
(BioScience, 2022)Wildlife conservation is severely limited by funding. Therefore, to maximize biodiversity outcomes, assessing financial costs of interventions is as important as assessing effectiveness. We reviewed the reporting of costs ... -
When two movements collide: Learning from labour and environmental struggles for future Just Transitions
(Futures, 2022)The term ‘Just Transition’ (JT) emerged from the 1970s North American labour movement to become a campaign for a planned energy transition that includes justice and fairness for workers. There is diversity in the JT ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(Elsevier, 2018)Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ... -
Where is the EU headed given its current climate policy? A stakeholder-driven model inter-comparison
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-11-01)Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces ... -
Who bears the burden of greening electricity?
(Energy Economics, 2022)Faced with the threat of climate change many countries are promoting renewable energies to decarbonize their energy system. A common policy to foster electricity from renewable energy sources are feed-in tariffs which are ... -
Whole system valuation of arable, agroforestry and tree-only systems at three case study sites in Europe
(Elsevier, 2020)There is an increasing demand to study the long-term effects of land use from both local farm and wider societal and environmental perspectives. This study applied an approach to evaluate both the financial profitability ... -
Whole-tree mesophyll conductance reconciles isotopic and gas-exchange estimates of water-use efficiency
(New Phytologist, 2021-03-01)Photosynthetic water-use efficiency (WUE) describes the link between terrestrial carbon (C) and water cycles. Estimates of intrinsic WUE (iWUE) from gas exchange and C isotopic composition (d13C) differ due to an internal ...
