This book illustrates the main results deriving from fourteen studies, dealing with the impact of climate change on different agricultural and natural ecosystems, carried out within the Impact of Climate change On agricultural and Natural Ecosystems (ICONE) project funded by the ALFA Programme of the European Commission. During this project, a common methodology on several Global Change-related matters was developed and shared among members of scientific communities coming from Latin America and Europe. In order to facilitate this interdisciplinary approach, specific mobility programmes, addressed to post-graduate, Master and PhD students, have been organized. The research, led by the research groups, was focused on the study of the impact of climate change on various environmental features (i.e. runoff in hydrological basins, soil erosion and moisture, forest canopy, sugarcane crop, land use, drought, precipitation, etc). Integrated and shared methodologies of atmospheric physics, remote sensing, eco-physiology and modelling have been applied.

Este informe ofrece una vision general de los avances recientes en la produccion y consumo de la bioenergia. Se examinan los temas principales y las posibles implicaciones economicas de estos avances, evaluando su impacto potencial en el uso de la tierra y el medioambiente, especialmente con respecto a los bosques. El informe examina tanto la biomasa solida como los biocombustibles liquidos, identificando oportunidades y retos en el nivel regional y nacional. La bioenergia supone una oportunidad para que aquellos paises con tierras apropiadas para los cultivos energeticos desarrollen una fuente propia de energia renovable. La mayoria de los paises que estan potenciando el desarrollo de la bioenergia persiguen, al menos, uno de los siguientes objetivos: aumentar la seguridad energetica, estimular el desarrollo rural, reducir el impacto del consumo de energia sobre el cambio climatico, o mejorar el medioambiente en sentido amplio. El desarrollo de la bioenergia ofrece tanto desafios como oportunidades para el desarrollo economico y el medioambiente. Si bien puede crear oportunidades para la generacion de renta y empleo y puede incrementar el acceso de la poblacion mas pobre a mejores tipos de energia existen por ejemplo serias dudas sobre su efecto en la lucha contra el cambio climatico o el medioambiente.
