Comparing mass balance-based nutrient management planning tools to support crop fertilisation decisionsNARA Subscribed
Nutrient management plan (NMP) tools aim to enhance crop production while minimising environmental harm from over-fertilisation by aligning applications with crop demands and with soil and atmospheric conditions. The characteristics of 14 widely used NMP tools from nine countries (Austria, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and United Kingdom) were compared. All tools employed a mass balance a...
Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part II—Prediction‐Based ServicesNARA Subscribed
This review paper examines the development and application of climate predictions, primarily at seasonal timescales, as actionable information for decision‐making, with a specific focus on the Mediterranean region. It illustrates and analyses the steps required to transform climate model probabilistic forecasts into user‐defined information, emphasising the iterative nature of climate service development. By leveraging tools s...
Key factors of the deranged antiviral response in elderly patients with COVID-19: a machine-learning analysisNARA Subscribed
Age is a well-known risk factor to develop severe viral respiratory infections, including severe COVID-19. This study aimed to identify the biological alterations linked to severe disease in elderly patients with COVID-19. For this purpose, we employed a derivation cohort with 450 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital wards and a validation cohort with 244 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patie...
Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction SkillNARA Subscribed
The capability to predict climate fluctuations from sub–seasonal–to–decadal timescales would yield large and significant socio–economic benefits. On the other hand, our limited understanding of the mechanisms and processes responsible for predictability and systematic model errors hampers our ability to simulate and forecast climate variability. As a result, current forecast quality remains relatively unsatisfactory, particula...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Evaluation of the Impact of Environmentally Driven Curtailment Regulations on Wind Farm Energy ProductionNARA Subscribed
Environmentally driven curtailment strategies—based on increasing wind turbine cut-in speeds during high bat activity—are increasingly adopted in wind energy regulations worldwide. These measures, typically enforced during summer nights, aim to reduce bat mortality but lead to energy losses that can compromise the economic performance of wind farms. This study assesses the impact of such regulations by analyzing three key vari...
We present the IMAGMASEIS project, a large-N seismic experiment carried out on La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) between 2023 and 2024, aimed at high-resolution imaging of the crustal and upper mantle structure using passive seismic methods. The project involved the deployment of 235 temporary broadband and short-period seismic stations, supplementing 21 permanent stations, thus creating the densest seismic network ever install...
Evolution of debris cones with TLS (2009–2024) and development of predictive techniques with functional dataNARA Subscribed
This study aims to analyse the dynamic of two debris cones (Cone A and Cone B) in Picos de Europa in the northern Iberian Peninsula. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology was used for their continuous assessment every August for 16 years (2009–2024). The statistical predictive value of position ( Z ) in 2024 was calculated for the same planimetric position ( X , Y ) throughout all the profiles of maximum slopes of the di...
The Picos de Europa National Park (PENP) has a strong mining background, with heritage features influencing the high mountain mining landscapes. Those mining scenarios have been altered by abandonment and natural forces, leaving behind remnants of mining activity and a largely naturalized landscape. There are still signs of mining operations on the surface and underground the Las Gramas mining complex, which was abandoned more...
Mountain ranges are complex socio-ecological systems recognised as the “undervalued ecological backbone” of Europe as they provided essential ecosystem services and goods. However, we lack a deep understanding on their vulnerability to both environmental and social drivers. We carried out a stakeholder-based study assessing the vulnerability of 23 land-use systems supporting a wide range of value chains in European mountain re...
