Highlights • Seasonal and spatial features of a biosphere reserve affect the human value domain. • Higher springtime values reflect longer distances traveled to the site in autumn. • The seashore landscape yields a higher value than maquis and conifer…...
Highlights • Climate change will affect wind speed and therefore wind energy production. • In four wind farms in Spain we project variations in wind speed of up to ± 5% • This will imply changes in production ( ±8%) and in…...
Abstract Forest social-ecological systems (FSESs) can play a major role in both the mitigation of climate change, as well as the adaptation of local communities to it. In Europe, however, forests are highly fragmented and located close to human populations.…...
