Most of the agricultural policies, such as the new CAP, or the European Union Sustainable Development Goals, already present their list of associated indicators to monitor impacts. As BESTMAP biophysical models aim to map the impacts of these types of policies, each of the model outputs have a range of associated policy indicators. This deliverable...

The adoption of agri-environment practices (AEPs) is crucial for safeguarding the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services within European agricultural landscapes. However, the tailoring of agri-environment policies to the unique characteristics of farming systems is a challenging task, often neglecting local farm parameters or requiring exte...

Migratory insects may move in large numbers, even surpassing migratory vertebrates in biomass. Long-distance migratory insects complete annual cycles through multiple generations, with each generation’s reproductive success linked to the resources available at different breeding grounds. Climatic anomalies in these grounds are presumed to trigger r...

In Europe and elsewhere, agri‐environmental schemes (AES) are designed to reduce agriculture's impacts on the environment. Designing effective schemes requires an understanding of the reasons that drive farmers' decisions whether to adopt AES. Currently, most insights come from individual case studies or structured surveys based on predefined quest...

Farmland abandonment has been a widespread land-use change in the Iberian Peninsula since the second half of the 20th century, leading to the establishment of secondary forests across the region. In this study, we aimed to address changes in the recent (1985–2014) emergence patterns of these forests and examine how environmental factors affected th...

Half of the European Union (EU) land and the livelihood of 10 million farmers is threatened by unsustainable land-use intensification, land abandonment and climate change. Policy instruments, including the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have so far failed to stop this environmental degradation. BESTMAP will: 1) Develop a behavioural theoretica...

Biodiversity monitoring at simultaneously fine spatial resolutions and large spatial extents is needed but limited by operational trade-offs and costs. Open-access data may be cost-effective to address those limitations. We test the use of open-access satellite imagery (NDVI texture variables) and biodiversity data, assembled from GBIF, to investig...

The mechanisms translating global circulation changes into rapid abrupt shifts in forest carbon capture in semi‐arid biomes remain poorly understood. Here we report unprecedented multidecadal shifts in forest carbon uptake in semi‐arid Mediterranean pine forests in Spain over 1950‐2012. The averaged carbon sink reduction varies between 31‐37%, and...

Changes in ecosystem area are often used to assess human impacts on habitats and estimate biodiversity change. However, because species respond to structural changes at fine spatial scales the use of area alone may not capture all relevant changes. Operational costs limit the assessment of biodiversity change at a simultaneously fine spatial resolu...

MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) daily surface reflectance data is distributed with one of the most complete quality ancillary data sets. Such amount of quality information is essential for automatically selecting the highest quality MODIS daily images, for example using geostatistical analysis of the image spatial pattern. How...

In this chapter, the authors explore whether life-history theory provides an integrative framework for the mechanisms mediating the responses of invertebrates to global warming. More specifically, they suggest that life-history trade-offs are key to the integration of the implied mechanisms because they will constrain the simultaneous optimisation...

Climate warming may accelerate the hydrological cycle as a result of enhanced evaporative demand in some regions where water is not limiting. However, the combination of warmer temperatures with constant or reduced precipitation in other regions may lead to a large decrease in water availability for natural and agricultural systems as well as for h...

Although Greece has now managed to obtain one of the largest firefighting air fleets in Europe, the burned areas are increasing every year. Fire risk mapping based on forecasting models is a technological innovation applied by the state in the last 20 years. The human factor, which is excluded from the level of the prediction is the main cause of t...

According to the Climatic Change report of the IPCC of 2007, the global warming makes evident an increase of air and ocean temperature (IPCC, 2007). These facts directly mean the lack of water resources, a high importance phenomenon in the case of the Iberian Peninsula. In the present work, the differential effect of water stress is analyzed in are...
