15N Natural Abundance Evidences a Better Use of N Sources by Late Nitrogen Application in Bread Wheat
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-22)This work explores whether the natural abundance of N isotopes technique could be used to understand the movement of N within the plant during vegetative and grain filling phases in wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L) under ... -
A common fungicide impairs stream ecosystem functioning through effects on aquatic hyphomycetes and detritivorous caddisflies
(Academic Press-Elsevier, 2020-06-01)Fungicides can reach streams through runoff or adhered to leaf litter, and have the potential to adversely affect processes such as litter decomposition and associated communities. This study investigated the effects of ... -
A field portable method for the semi-quantitative estimation of dehydration tolerance of photosynthetic tissues across distantly related land plants.
(2018-12-04)Desiccation tolerant (DT) plants withstand complete cellular dehydration (reaching relative water contents below 30% in their photosynthetic tissues), while desiccation sensitive (DS) plants exhibit different degrees of ... -
A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland waters
(Elsevier, 2023-04)As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an ... -
A Marine Biodiversity Observation Network for Genetic Monitoring of Hard-Bottom Communities (ARMS-MBON)
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-30)Marine hard-bottom communities are undergoing severe change under the influence of multiple drivers, notably climate change, extraction of natural resources, pollution and eutrophication, habitat degradation, and invasive ... -
A meta-analysis of drought effects on litter decomposition in streams
(Springer, 2023-05)Droughts, or severe reductions of water flow, are expected to become more frequent and intense in rivers in many regions under the ongoing climate change scenario. It is therefore important to understand stream ecosystem ... -
A Multi-Species Analysis Defines Anaplerotic Enzymes and Amides as Metabolic Markers for Ammonium Nutrition
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-27)Nitrate and ammonium are the main nitrogen sources in agricultural soils. In the last decade, ammonium (NH4+), a double-sided metabolite, has attracted considerable attention by researchers. Its ubiquitous presence in plant ... -
A physiological approach to study the competition ability of the grassland species Trifolium pratense and Agrostis capillaris
(Elsevier, 2020-09-19)(EN) The response of plant species to external factors depends partly on the interaction with the environment and with the other species that coexist in the same ecosystem. Several studies have investigated the main traits ... -
A wheat cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase confersbroad-spectrum resistance against Septoria tritici blotch
(Nature, 2021-01-19)The poverty of disease resistance gene reservoirs limits the breeding of crops for durable resistance against evolutionary dynamic pathogens. Zymoseptoria tritici which causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), represents one ... -
ABC model for estimating sea lamprey local population size using a simple nest count during the spawning season
(EDP Sciences, 2023-02)Population estimation implies considering the biology of the species, but also the constraints of logistic aspects such as cost. While common methods based on individual counts can provide precise estimates, they require ... -
Abundance, composition, distribution and fate of floating marine litter in the south-east Bay of Biscay
(2022-07-19)This PhD thesis presents a first overview of floating marine litter pollution in the south-east Bay of Biscay through a combination of harmonized observations, sampling methods, and numerical modelling techniques. Abundance ... -
Acceptance of Near-Natural Greenspace Management Relates to Ecological and Socio-Cultural Assigned Values Among European Urbanites
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Grasslands are widespread elements of urban greenspace providing recreational, psychological and aesthetic benefits to city residents. Two urban grassland types of contrasting management dominate urban greenspaces: frequently ... -
Acquisition of Desiccation Tolerance Unveiled: Polar Lipid Profiles of Streptophyte Algae Offer Insights
(Wiley, 2023-11)Terrestrialization by photosynthetic eukaryotes took place in the two branches of green microalgae: Chlorophyta and Charophyta. Within the latter, the paraphyletic streptophytic algae divide into two clades. These are named ... -
Activation of violaxanthin cycle in darkness is a common response to different abiotic stresses : a case study in Pelvetia canaliculata
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-26)Background: In the violaxanthin (V) cycle, V is de-epoxidized to zeaxanthin (Z) when strong light or light combined with other stressors lead to an overexcitation of photosystems. However, plants can also suffer stress in ... -
Adaptative mechanisms of cereals to climate change: the importance of nitrogen sources in soils.
(2018-04-27)La actividad humana y más concretamente, la industria, la agricultura, el consumo de combustibles fósiles, la deforestación, la quema de restos vegetales y la ganadería han provocado un rápido aumento de gases de efecto ... -
Ageing kinetics of fern chlorophyllous spores during dry storage is determined by its antioxidant potential and likely induced by photosynthetic machinery
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Ageing in dry chlorophyllous propagules is leaded by photooxidation through the photosynthetic machinery, but why species differ in longevity and the ageing mechanisms of when light and oxygen are absent are unknown. We ... -
Agriculture impairs stream ecosystem functioning in a tropical catchment
(Elsevier, 2020-11-25)The expansion of agriculture is particularly worrying in tropical regions of the world, where native forests are being replaced by crops at alarming rates, with severe consequences for biodiversity and ecosystems. However, ... -
