Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used to assess freshwater-related impacts according a new water footprint framework formalized in the ISO 14046 standard. To date, no consensus-based approach exists for applying this standard and results are not always comparable when different scarcity or stress indicators characterization of impacts. This paper presents outcome 2-year consensus building process by Water Use Cycle Assessment (WULCA), working group UNEP-SETAC Initiative, on midpoint...
Abstract. As the water requirement for food production and other human needs grows, quantification of environmental flow requirements (EFRs) is necessary to assess amount needed sustain freshwater ecosystems. EFRs are result riverine ecosystem, which calculated from mean an (EF) method. In this study, five EF methods calculating were compared with 11 case studies locally assessed EFRs. We used three existing (Smakhtin, Tennant, Tessmann) two newly developed (the variable monthly method (VMF)...
Abstract Safeguarding river ecosystems is a precondition for attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to water and environment, while rigid implementation of such policies may hamper achievement food security. River provide life-supporting functions that depend on maintaining environmental flow requirements (EFRs). Here we establish gridded process-based estimates EFRs their violation through human withdrawals. Results indicate 41% current global irrigation use (997 km 3...
Changes in climate, land use, and management impact the occurrence severity of wildland fires many parts world. This is particularly evident Europe, where ongoing changes use have strongly modified fire patterns over last decades. Although satellite data by European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale statistics across countries, there still a crucial need to collect summarize in-depth local analysis understanding condition associated challenges Europe. article aims general...
Informing and engaging all actors in the land sector, including land-owners managers, researchers, policy-makers citizens, on most effective sustainable land-based solutions behavioural changes is a key strategy for achieving climate change adaptation mitigation targets at global as well EU local level. One requisite to support sector provide them publicly available, reliable ready-to-use information related implementation of Land-based Adaptation Mitigation Solutions (LAMS). Here we...
Abstract Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the operating space humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored among seven variables representing relevant food production, identifying many little in literature. We found that green water and land change affect other strongly, while land, freshwater ocean components biosphere integrity are most...
In these times of strong pressure on aquatic ecosystems and water resources due to climate change abstraction, intermittent rivers ephemeral streams (IRES) (rivers that periodically cease flow and/or dry) have become valuable assets. Indeed, not only do they supply but also offer services for humanity. Despite a growing recognition towards IRES, information assessing their ecosystem (ES) remains scarce. first step, an international interdisciplinary group researchers developed methodological...
Abstract. With growing water needs for food production, it is necessary to improve the quantification of "Environmental Flow Requirements (EFRs)" secure enough freshwater ecosystems. In this study, five methods calculating EFRs were compared 11 case studies locally-calculated EFRs. Three already existed (Smakhtin, Tennant and Tessmann) two developed in study (the Variable Monthly method Q90_Q50 method). The (VFM) mimics first time natural flow regimes while being "validated" at global local...
Wildfire is known to create the pre-conditions leading accelerated soil erosion. Unfortunately, its occurrence expected increase with climate change. The objective of this study was assess impacts fire on runoff and erosion in a context global change, evaluate effectiveness mulching as post-fire mitigation measure. For this, long-term model LandSoil calibrated for Mediterranean catchment north-central Portugal that burnt 2011. then applied 20-year period quantify separate combined...
Abstract River ecosystems world‐wide are affected by altered flow regimes, and advanced science practice of environmental flows have been developed to understand reduce these impacts. But most approaches ignore intermittency, which is a natural feature 30% the global river network length. Ignoring intermittency when setting in naturally intermittent rivers might lead deleterious ecological effects. We review evidence effects provide guidance incorporate (non‐flow events) into existing...
The world is facing a global sustainability crisis affecting environmental systems and society. Addressing these issues requires multi-dimensional approach that can integrate energy, water, environment Systems, as well provide scientific policy advice. In this study, an updated version of Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) was used, together with new data compatible Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) projections, to significantly improve the work developed before. SSP climate (temperature,...
Maize yields in continuous maize production systems of smallholders the Costa Chica, a region Southwest Mexico, are low despite consistent inputs fertilizers and herbicides. This study was aimed at investigating prospects intercropping (Zea mays L.) maize-roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa mixtures with legumes canavalia (Canavalia brasiliensis Mart. ex Benth) mucuna (Mucuna pruriens var. utilis) for improving nutrient uptake weed suppression. Farmer-managed experiments were established two...

Freshwater ecosystems have been degraded due to intensive freshwater abstraction. Therefore, environmental flow requirements (EFRs) methods proposed maintain healthy rivers and/or restore river flows. In this study, we used the Variable Monthly Flow (VMF) method calculate transgression of planetary boundaries: (1) natural deficits in which does not meet EFRs climate variability, and (2) anthropogenic caused by water abstractions. The novelty is that calculated spatially cumulative monthly...
