Switzerland will face higher temperature increases than the global average, which will have strong impacts on the mountain ecosystems. How tree species will respond to future climate change scenarios, and what mechanisms will they adopt, remains as a gap o ...
Similar to other renewable energy technologies, the development of a biogas infrastructure in the Netherlands is going through social, institutional and ecological evolution. To study this complex evolutionary process, we built a comprehensive agent-based ...
The software we propose enables users to test several water allocation rules (both static and dynamic) for a specific small hydropower plant and to evaluate them both in term of economic and ecological benefits. For each water allocation rule the energy pr ...
The analysis of energy system transitions is mainly affected by a socio-technical system (STS) understanding, focussing on the co-evolvement of societal and technical changes. However, energy systems are highly dependent on and characterised by ecological ...
Thermoeconomics is a discipline that connects Thermodynamics and Economics concepts, usually used for rational cost assessment partition to the final products of a thermal plant, by means of a model that describes the cost formation process of the overall ...
Better model the spatial dynamics of the disease based on the available ecological and socio-economic data, combined with parasitological survey data and epidemiological reports ...
During continuous operation of energy systems, the performance of components will mostly, gradually deviate away from the reference conditions due to performance degradation, which may eventually lead to malfunctions or operation failure. The complex inter ...
The transition of our current energy system from a fossil-based system to a system based on renewables is likely to be one of the most complex and long-term societal transitions in history. The need for a fundamental system transformation raises the questi ...
Understanding how land-use changes affect different facets of plant biodiversity in seminatural European grasslands is of particular importance for biodiversity conservation. As conclusions of previous experimental or synchronic observational studies did n ...
Like islands, lakes are not only unique geographical features, but also ecological concepts on their own. Their exceptional variability has been studied numerous times, yet no unique framework capable of reproducing the wide range of lake dynamics observed ...
