Agroecological transition in Madrid’s extensive livestock systems: How expert-perceived NCPs guide transformation pathwaysNARA Subscribed
In the Mediterranean region, the industrialization of livestock systems, driven by the replacement of extensive pasture-based systems with intensive input-dependent models, has triggered environmental degradation and socio-cultural changes. The transition of livestock systems toward agroecological practices can reduce external dependencies, enhance ecosystem contributions and strengthen socioecological resilience. This study a...
The Cunene Province (Southern Angola) is facing recurrent and pluriannual droughts. Surface water supply could be reinforced using the groundwater resources of the multilayered aquifer systems (MAS) hosted in the siliciclastic sediments of the Kalahari Group. The MAS were first identified in the early 2000s in Northern Namibia and recently in the Cunene Province, by studies of the PLANAGEO project based on modern processing an...
Island biodiversity in peril: Anticipating a loss of mammals' functional diversity with future species extinctionsNARA Subscribed
Islands are biodiversity hotspots that host unique assemblages. However, a substantial proportion of island species are threatened and their long‐term survival is uncertain. Identifying and preserving vulnerable species has become a priority, but it is also essential to combine this information with other facets of biodiversity like functional diversity, to understand how future extinctions might affect ecosystem stability and...
A GIS-supported Multidisciplinary Database for the Management of UNESCO Global Geoparks: the Courel Mountains Geopark (Spain)NARA Subscribed
The management of a UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) requires a vast wealth of miscellaneous scientific knowledge that can be successfully organised using a Geographical Information System (GIS). This paper presents a pragmatic GIS database to assist in the suitable governance of the Courel Mountains UGGp (2017) in Northwest Spain. The database is structured in 66 coverages compiled from public sources and previous works or produc...
Recognizing Uncertainty in Forest Planning: A Decomposition Model for Large LandscapesNARA Subscribed
Multiple ecological, economic, social, and political facets influence forest-planning decisions. Decision models have been widely used in forest management planning, but most are deterministic models. However, long-term forest planning problems are surrounded by potential uncertainties. To begin to account for uncertainty surrounding growth and yield under climate change conditions, a stochastic forest planning model was devel...
The decline of mussel aquaculture in the European Union: causes, economic impacts and opportunitiesNARA Subscribed
In contrast to the increasing aquaculture production of mussels worldwide, production in the European Union (EU) has shown a decreasing trend over the last two decades. Aquaculture production of mussels in the EU peaked in the late 1990s at more than 600 000 tonnes; by 2016, production volume had dropped by 20% to 480 000 tonnes. As mussel production represents more than ⅓ of EU aquaculture production, this decrease is an impo...
