Assessment of atmospheric and soil water stress impact on a tropical crop: the case of Theobroma cacao under Harmattan conditions in eastern Ghana.
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2021-12-15)In West Africa, Harmattan-induced atmospheric and soil droughts represent seasonally recurring hazards for Theobroma cacao L. agro-ecosystems. Under the influence of the Harmattan winds, precipitation is impaired and air ... -
Assessment of productivity and economic viability of combined food and energy (cfe) production system in Denmark
(MDPI, 2019)Agro-ecosystems for integrated food, fodder, and biomass production can contribute to achieving European Union goals to increase renewable energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study objective was to ... -
Assessment of sustainable land management practices in Mediterranean rural regions
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2022-12-15)Sustainable land management practices can be suitable vehicles to simultaneously address the causes and consequences of land degradation, desertification, and climate change in land managed systems. Here, we assess the ... -
Banking on strong rural livelihoods and the sustainable use of natural capital in post-conflict Colombia
(Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2023)In post-conflict Colombia, the government has prioritized resettlement of displaced people through development of strong rural livelihoods and the sustainable use of natural capital. In this paper, we considered government ... -
Barriers to ecological restoration in Europe: expert perspectives
(RESTORATION ECOLOGY, 2021)Ecological restoration is key to counteracting anthropogenic degradation of biodiversity and to reducing disaster risk. However, there is limited knowledge of barriers hindering the wider implementation of restoration ... -
Benefits From Water Related Ecosystem Services in Africa and Climate Change
(Ecological Economics, 2018-07-01)The present study collects original monetary estimates for water related ecosystem service benefits on the African continent from 36 valuation studies. A database of 178 monetary estimates is constructed to conduct a ... -
Beyond participation: How to achieve the recognition of local communities’ value-systems in conservation? Some insights from Mexico
(People and Nature, 2021-06-01)In this article, we explore why conservation schemes that have positive outcomes through the participation of local communities cannot necessarily be deemed as just. We observe that recognition (understood as inclusion and ... -
BINCOR: An r package for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series
(The R Foundation, 2019)This paper presents a computational program named BINCOR (BINned CORrelation) for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series. This program is also applicable to the situation of two evenly spaced ... -
Biocultural vulnerability exposes threats of culturally important species
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023-01-01)There are growing calls for conservation frameworks that, rather than breaking the relations between people and other parts of nature, capture place-based relationships that have supported social-ecological systems over ... -
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Sustainability, 2021)The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ... -
Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
