Opportunities and challenges for microbiomics in ecosystem restoration
(Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2023-12-01)
Microbiomics is the science of characterizing microbial community structure, function, and dynamics. It has great potential to advance our understanding of plant–soil–microbe processes and interaction networks which can ...
Mapping the landscape of water and society research: Promising combinations of compatible and complementary disciplines
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2024-03-01)
Coupled human-water systems (CHWS) are diverse and have been studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives on CHWS provides a comprehensive and actionable understanding of ...
Multi-level finance impacts on participation, inclusion, and equity: Bricolage and Fuzziness in NextGenerationEU-funded renaturing projects
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2024-06-01)
We analyze a multi-level ad-hoc emergency fund (MAEF) – the European NextGenerationEU program – as an opportunity to advance ambitious municipal climate action. Presently, MAEF follow a vertical complex governance structure, ...
Methodological choices for reflecting strong sustainability in composite indices
(Ecological Economics, 2024-07-01)
Composite indicators are widely used to represent sustainability or its underlying dimensions. Nonetheless, an alignment between the multiple choices made during their construction and the underlying conceptual framework ...
Decoupling between human development and energy consumption within footprint accounts
(Elsevier, 2018)
Historically, the growth of energy consumption has fuelled human development, but this approach is no longer socially and environmentally sustainable. Recent analyses suggest that some individual countries have responded ...
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ...
Declining water resources in the Anduña River Basin of Western Pyrenees: Land abandonment or climate variability?
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2024-06-01)
Study Region: Mountains play a crucial role in supplying water for consumption, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees exemplify a mountainous region ...
Quantifying the role of saltmarsh as a vulnerable carbon sink: A case study from Northern Portugal
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-05-01)
Saltmarshes play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, although they are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR). This study assessed the potential variation in Blue Carbon ...
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)
Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ...
Climate action from a gender perspective: A systematic review of the impact of climate policies on inequality
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2024-06-01)
In 1992 the United Nations committed to promoting a gender perspective in all environmental and development programs and to establishing mechanisms for assessing the impact of environmental policies on women. However, 30 ...
