Triggers of food transition in Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities
Symptomatic of the social change brought by late globalization, the dietary patterns of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) worldwide are changing, bringing consequences for people’s health and well-being. In this review we focused on food transition (FT) and the driving forces behind these changes. We aimed to diagnose, analyse, and quantify the key factors influencing FT in IPLC worldwide. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic…
Transformative or piecemeal? Changes in green space planning and governance in eleven European cities
Green (and blue) spaces receive attention as important components of cities that can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, support biodiversity and improve public health. Green space planning aims to transform cities towards urban sustainability and resilience. In a longitudinal study, representatives from eleven European municipalities that had previously been interviewed in 2014 were re-interviewed in 2020–2021 on changes in urban gre…
Framing the application of Adaptation Pathways for agroforestry in Mediterranean drylands
Does the exotic equal pollution? Landscape methods for solving the dilemma of using native versus non‐native plant species in drylands
There is a need to resolve methods to determine the merits of native versus non‐native plant use in drylands and indeed in more temperate areas around the world. This is because whilst plant introductions may have positive objectives, they can have significant negative landscape and environmental impacts. A key discussion on this issue focuses on whether the use of non‐native plant species can be considered to be pollution and pollutive based on …
Estimation of the Allergenic Potential of Urban Trees and Urban Parks
The impact of allergens emitted by urban green spaces on health is one of the main disservices of ecosystems. The objective of this work is to establish the potential allergenic value of some tree species in urban environments, so that the allergenicity of green spaces can be estimated through application of the Index of Urban Green Zones Allergenicity (I UGZA ). Multiple types of green spaces in Mediterranean cities were selected for the estimat…
Selecting Potential Moss Species for Green Roofs in the Mediterranean Basin
Green roofs are important infrastructures to address the effects of climate change in urban areas. However, most studies and applications have been done in cooler and wetter regions of the northern hemisphere. Climate change will lead to more extreme weather events, such as increased drought and decreased precipitation with intense flash rain events. Increase desertification is expected especially in the Mediterranean Basin, where in summer, radi…
Consequence of altered nitrogen cycles in the coupled human and ecological system under changing climate
A study protocol to evaluate the relationship between outdoor air pollution and pregnancy outcomes
Exposure misclassification is an issue of concern in semi-ecological design. In this study, personal exposures are assigned to each pregnant using geocoded addresses data. A stochastic simulation method is applied to lichen diversity values index measured at biomonitoring survey locations, in order to assess spatial uncertainty of lichen diversity value index at each geocoded address. These methods assume a model for spatial autocorrelation of ex…
