Ecosystem services in Mediterranean river basin: climate change impact on water provisioning and erosion control.
Rubab Fatima Bangash,Ana Passuello,María Sánchez-Canales,Marta Terrado,Alfredo López,F. Javier Elorza,Guy Ziv,Vicenç Acuña,Marta Schuhmacher +8 more
TL;DR: The assessment of ecosystem services and their mapping at the basin scale identify the current pressures on the river basin including the source area in the Pyrenees Mountains and concept for an appropriate quantification and related spatial visualization of ecosystem service is elaborated and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the potential improvement in the environmental footprint of geopolymers using waste-derived activators
Ana Passuello,Erich D. Rodríguez,Eduardo Hirt,Márlon A. Longhi,Susan A. Bernal,John L. Provis,Ana Paula Kirchheim +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the life cycle impacts of a geopolymer produced from a kaolin sludge residue from the Brazilian mining industry and found that the use of RHA-derived sodium silicate may reduce environmental impacts by more than 60%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity analysis of ecosystem service valuation in a Mediterranean watershed
María Sánchez-Canales,Alfredo López Benito,Ana Passuello,Marta Terrado,Guy Ziv,Vicenç Acuña,Marta Schuhmacher,F. Javier Elorza +7 more
TL;DR: The main novel aspect of this work is the sensitivity analysis (SA) carried out to the InVEST model in order to determine the variability of the model response when the values of three of its main coefficients, Z, prec and eto, change.
Journal ArticleDOI
POP accumulation in the food chain: Integrated risk model for sewage sludge application in agricultural soils
TL;DR: Probabilistic multimedia models were applied to predict the accumulation of POPs in the food chain and the related risks to humans, as a consequence of sludge application on soil, and showed that exposure parameters were responsible for most of the variability in the results.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spatial multicriteria decision making tool to define the best agricultural areas for sewage sludge amendment
TL;DR: The developed tool successfully tackled the problem, providing a comprehensive procedure to evaluate agricultural land suitability to receive sewage sludge as an organic fertilizer, based on an extensive group of criteria.
