The Mediterranean Diet is a highly sustainable diet, and legumes are among the products that best characterize this concept. This study evaluates the environmental sustainability of the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) legume Phaseolus vulgaris L. cultivated in the Asturias region, Spain. Employing a multi-indicator approach, the study aims...
The Mediterranean region is one of the 36 hotspots of the world that will be most affected by climate change, with river ecosystems being among the most sensitive to these effects. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and monitor the effects that are occurring through the use of aquatic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of climate change. To...
The implantation of wind farms in the European territory is being deployed at an accelerated pace. In the proposed framework, the province of La Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia is tested, with a wide deployment of this type of infrastructure in the territory initiated in the 80s, representing the third autonomous community with the la...
Climate change poses a severe environmental crisis where many European urban centers face increased risks, among others, of flooding and/or water scarcity due to intense rainfall and prolonged droughts. Urgent adaptation measures are required to enhance resilience in urban, peri-urban, and agricultural areas against extreme weather events. This art...
Erosion by water is the main cause of land degradation. Landscapes degraded by erosion need to be restored in many respects, and particularly in terms of ecosystem services. From an economic and management perspective, care is needed to select priority areas and determine the means to be applied to restore them. Globally, the model most commonly us...
Walkability is a modern concept that has become important in recent years due to the doubtless effects it has on aspects such as health and wellbeing, sustainable development, climate change, and tourism. It is necessary, therefore, that urban development strategies aim to achieve walkable cities. The main objective of this study is to define a met...

Mapping Priority Areas for Connectivity of Yellow-Winged Darter (Sympetrum flaveolum, Linnaeus 1758) under Climate Change. Land 2023, 12, 298. Abstract: The yellow-winged darter (Sympetrum fl...
Habitats have been undergoing significant changes due to environmental processes and human impact that lead into habitat fragmentation and connectivity loss. To improve quality habitats and maintain ecological connectivity, elements that improve the connectivity of habitats need to be identified. To meet this goal, finding optimal pathways location...
The effects of climate change on species can influence the delicate balance in ecosystems. For this reason, conservation planning needs to take account of connectivity and the related ecological processes within the framework of climate change. In this study, we focus on the change in the ecological connectivity of the Lebanon cedar (Cedrus libani...
The Natura 2000 protected area network is one of the EU's flagship biodiversity conservation initiatives. This study compares the network in two autonomous communities in Spain against maps based on areas of importance for biodiversity. The researchers report that the current network aligns well with priority areas, but there are some opportunities...
This paper presents a multi-criteria methodology for the detection of optimal locations for solar photovoltaic installations connected to the electrical grid. The proposed methodology has been applied to the island of Tenerife, as it is one of the territories in Spain with the greatest solar potential. This methodology integrates an Aptitude Model...
Climate projections for the near future suggest a general increase in temperatures and a decrease in precipitation in Castilla y León (Northwest Iberian Peninsula). In this context, hydrographic networks may be reduced due to the decrease in flow accumulation, which may compromise the connectivity of riparian habitats and aggravate fragmentation pr...
The aim of the Natura 2000 Network is to ensure the conservation of habitats and species in their natural areas of
distribution. Connectivity is an essential part of this conservation. For this purpose, a value map of importance
for biodiversity (V.I.B) was generated proposing 4 levels of protection and overlapped with the Natura 2000
network. N...
Se presenta información sobre la localización de lugares de reproducción de la especie Anax imperator Leach, 1815 en lagunas de alta montaña del Sistema Central en la provincia de Ávila. Las citas de reproducción de esta especie en los años 80 en esta zona se limitaban a altitudes cercanas a los 1300 m s.n.m. Sin embargo, coincidiendo con un aument...
Establecimiento de la red hidrográfica sobre la base de las variaciones climáticas
observadas y determinación de la red de hábitats riparios en la Cuenca Hidrográfica del Río Duero
The European Union (EU) ensures the conservation of biodiversity through the Natura 2000 Network, which establishes the classification and selection of protected areas at European level. Unfortunately, member countries cannot make the best zoning decisions for biodiversity conservation because there are no clear and uniform parameters to designate...
La Red Natura 2000 es una herramienta aplicada por la Unión Europea con el objetivo de proteger la biodiversidad mediante la clasificación y selección de espacios protegidos. Estos espacios se designan a partir de la Directiva Hábitats y la Directiva Aves, sin embargo no están establecidos unos parámetros homogéneos que permitan medir la idoneidad...
La Red Natura 2000 tiene como objetivo proteger la biodiversidad a nivel europeo y garantizar la conectividad de distintas zonas de conservación de la biodiversidad a lo largo de la Unión Europea. Estas zonas de conservación se corresponden con la presencia de hábitats naturales a conservar bajo las instrucciones de las Directivas Aves y Hábitats....
