Cost-effective restoration and conservation planning in Green and Blue Infrastructure designs. A case study on the Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean: Andalusia (Spain) Morocco
(Elsevier, 2019)
Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) is a network designed and planned to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and to protect biodiversity. Existing GBI designs lacked a systematic method to allocate restoration zones. ...
Framing natural assets for advancing sustainability research: translating different perspectives into actions
(Springer, 2018)
Sustainability is a key challenge for humanity in the context of complex and unprecedented global changes. Future Earth, an international research initiative aiming to advance global sustainability science, has recently ...
A systematic review of non-productivityrelated animal-based indicators of heat stress resilience in dairy cattle
(PLoS One, 2018)
Introduction Projected temperature rise in the upcoming years due to climate change has increased interest in studying the effects of heat stress in dairy cows. Environmental indices are commonly used for detecting heat ...
How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)
Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ...
Implications of switching fossil fuel subsidies to solar: A case study for the European Union
(MDPI, 2017)
Fossil fuel subsidies (FFS) constitute one of the most obvious barriers to tackling climate change, as they encourage inefficient energy consumption and divert investment away from clean energy sources. According to the ...
Accounting for economic factors in socio-hydrology: Optimization under uncertainty and climate change
(MDPI, 2019)
This paper reframes the socio-hydrology analysis as an optimization problem. To achieve this, we first develop a valuation scheme to estimate net benefits of development in a flood plain, consisting of benefits obtained ...
From integrated to integrative: Delivering on the paris agreement
(MDPI, 2018)
In pursuit of the drastic transformations necessary for effectively responding to climate change, the Paris Agreement stresses the need to design and implement sustainable, robust, and socially acceptable policy pathways ...
New coal-fired plants jeopardise paris agreement
(MDPI, 2017)
Global greenhouse gas emissions need to peak soon and be reduced practically to zero in the second half of this century in order to not exceed the climate targets adopted in the Paris Agreement. However, there are currently ...
Circadian glucocorticoid oscillations preserve a population of adult hippocampal neural stem cells in the aging brain
(Springer, 2019-06-20)
A decrease in adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been linked to age-related cognitive impairment. However, the mechanisms involved in this age-related reduction remain elusive. Glucocorticoid hormones (GC) are important ...
Isotopic labelling reveals the efficient adaptation of wheat root TCA cycle flux modes to match carbon demand under ammonium nutrition
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-20)
Proper carbon (C) supply is essential for nitrogen (N) assimilation especially when plants are grown under ammonium (NH4+) nutrition. However, how C and N metabolic fluxes adapt to achieve so remains uncertain. In this ...
