Environmental justice and outdoor recreation opportunities: A spatially explicit assessment in Oslo metropolitan area, Norway
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
Abstract
Urban and peri-urban green space provides multiple recreation opportunities with important benefits for physical and psychological well-being, but access to these benefits is often unequally distributed. Various ...
Co-Creation of Knowledge for Ecosystem Services Approach to Spatial Planning in the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
Sustainable development has to be based on scientific knowledge, social agreements, and political decisions. This study aimed to analyse the implementation of the ecosystem services approach (ESA) in the spatial planning ...
Floristic Composition Mediates Change in Forage Nutritive Quality of Atlantic Mountain Grasslands after Experimental Grazing Exclusion
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Simultaneous reduction of biodiversity and forage nutritive value after grazing abandonment represents a critical agroecological problem observed in temperate mountain grasslands. However, how both processes affect each ...
Agriculture impairs stream ecosystem functioning in a tropical catchment
(Elsevier, 2020-11-25)
The expansion of agriculture is particularly worrying in tropical regions of the world, where native forests are being replaced by crops at alarming rates, with severe consequences for biodiversity and ecosystems. However, ...
Gentle remediation options for soil with mixed chromium (VI) and lindane pollution: biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Gentle Remediation Options (GROs), such as biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation, are cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions for soils simultaneously polluted with organic ...
Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation: Evidence from Palaearctic grasslands
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Aim Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes ...
Local Perceptions of Ecosystem Services Across Multiple Ecosystem Types in Spain
(MDPI, 2020-09-18)
Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ...
Relationship between tillage management and DMPSA nitrification inhibitor efficiency
(Elsevier, 2020-05-20)
Agricultural sustainability is compromised by nitrogen (N) losses caused by soil microbial activity. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) produced as consequence of nitrification and denitrification processes ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. ...
