Title: Assessing the Intensity of Heatwaves in a Warming Climate at the Urban Scale: A Case Study of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona/ Further understanding of the potential impact of future climate change on urban areas is needed. In this regard, we project recent heatwave (HW) episodes in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) with future climate conditions until 2100 using the pseudo global warming method.
Title: Bridging local and global vulnerabilities for an integrated assessment of nature-based solutions/ Nature-based solutions (NBSs) can address socio-ecological challenges in urban environments, such as climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation, but their local and global impacts are often not fully assessed. Stakeholder workshops serve to weigh the relative importance of impacts on vulnerabilities.
La publicació de l'investigador Ricard Segura-Barrero està tenint un gran impacte als mitjans. Les onades de calor i les sequeres cada vegada més freqüents estan reduint de manera preocupant la capacitat dels ecosistemes per actuar com a embornals de carboni.
This acknowledgment reflects the high-quality research and collaborative efforts of the URBAG team in addressing critical challenges related to climate change and urban ecosystems. We are thrilled to see our work recognized on such an esteemed platform and remain committed to producing impactful scientific contributions.
Title: Heat and Drought Events Alter Biogenic Capacity to Balance CO2 Budget in South-Western Europe/ Heat and drought events are increasing in frequency and intensity, posing significant risks to natural and agricultural ecosystems with uncertain effects on the net ecosystem CO2 exchange. The current Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) was adjusted to include soil moisture impacts on the gross ecosystem exchange and respiration.
