Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments
(Wiley, 2017-02-14)Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of ... -
Does forest fragmentation affect the same way all growth-forms?
(Elsevier, 2011-09-15)Fragmentation of natural habitats is one of the main causes of the loss of biodiversity. However, all plants do not respond to habitat fragmentation in the same way due to differences in species traits. We studied the ... -
Drying and Rainfall Shape the Structure and Functioning of Nitrifying Microbial Communities in Riverbed Sediments
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-16)Non-flow periods in fluvial ecosystems are a global phenomenon. Streambed drying and rewetting by sporadic rainfalls could drive considerable changes in the microbial communities that govern stream nitrogen (N) availability ... -
Effectiveness And Ecotoxicity Of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles During Rhizoremediation Of Soil Contaminated With Zn, Cu, Cd And Diesel
(Elsevier, 2018-04)The remediation of soils simultaneously contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds is still a challenging task. The application of metallic nanoparticles, such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI), for soil ... -
Effects of gamma irradiation on instream leaf litter decomposition
(Springer, 2021-12)[EN]Leaf litter decomposition is a key process in stream ecosystems, the rates of which can vary with changes in litter quality or its colonization by microorganisms. Decomposition in streams is increasingly used to compare ... -
Effects Of Human-Driven Water Stress on River Ecosystems: a Meta-Analysis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-07-30)Human appropriation of water resources may induce water stress in freshwater ecosystems when ecosystem needs are not met. Intensive abstraction and regulation cause river ecosystems to shift towards non-natural flow regimes, ... -
Effects of multiple stressors associated with agriculture on stream macroinvertebrate communities in a tropical catchment
(Public Library Science, 2019-08-08)Tropical forests are declining at unprecedented rates in favour of agriculture, and streams can be severely impacted due to effects of multiple stressors that have rarely been considered together in tropical studies. We ... -
Efficacy of management policies on protection and recovery of natural ecosystems in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve
(Natural Areas Association, 2011-10-01)Knowledge of landscape patterns and dynamics is essential for land use planners and natural resources managers. They need to know how landscapes have changed in order to determine the consequences and efficacy of the ... -
Elemental imaging approach to assess the ability of subaerial biofilms growing on constructions located in tropical climates as potential biomonitors of atmospheric heavy metals pollution
(Elsevier, 2022-10-06)Over the last decades, the concern about air pollution has increased significantly, especially in urban areas. Active sampling of air pollutants requires specific instrumentation not always available in all the laboratories. ... -
Ellenberg-type indicator values for European vascular plant species
(Wiley, 2023-01)Aims: Ellenberg-type indicator values are expert-based rankings of plant species according to their ecological optima on main environmental gradients. Here we extend the indicator-value system proposed by Heinz Ellenberg ... -
Enlisting wild grass genes to combat nitrification in wheat farming: A nature-based solution
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2021-08-31)Active nitrifiers and rapid nitrification are major contributing factors to nitrogen losses in global wheat production. Suppressing nitrifier activity is an effective strategy to limit N losses from agriculture. Production ... -
Environmental Determinants of COVID 19 Transmission Across a Wide Climatic Gradient in Chile
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-05-10)Several studies have examined the transmission dynamics of the novel COVID-19 disease in different parts of the world. Some have reported relationships with various environmental variables, suggesting that spread of the ... -
Environmental drivers and spatial scaling of species abundance distributions in Palaearctic grassland vegetation
(Wiley, 2022-08)[EN] Species abundance distributions (SADs) link species richness with species abundances and are an important tool in the quantitative analysis of ecological communities. Niche-based and sample-based SAD models predict ... -
Environmental justice and outdoor recreation opportunities: A spatially explicit assessment in Oslo metropolitan area, Norway
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)Abstract Urban and peri-urban green space provides multiple recreation opportunities with important benefits for physical and psychological well-being, but access to these benefits is often unequally distributed. Various ... -
EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats
(Wiley, 2020-10)Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. ... -
European Grapevine Cultivars and Rootstocks Show Differential Resistance to Xylella fastidiosa Subsp. fastidiosa
(MDPI, 2023-11-12)Several Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa (ST1) strains that cause Pierce’s disease were isolated from grapevine in Spain. In this study, we applied an approach to assess PD susceptibility among 24 different well-known ... -
Evaluation of a crop rotation with biological inhibition potential to avoid N2O emissions in comparison with synthetic nitrification inhibition
(Elsevier, 2023-05)Agriculture has increased the release of reactive nitrogen to the environment due to crops' low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) after the application of nitrogen-fertilisers. Practices like the use of stabilized-fertilisers ... -
Evaluation of algaecide effectiveness of five different oxidants applied on harmful phytoplankton
(Elsevier, 2023-06)Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal areas similarly impact both ecosystems and human health. The translocation of phytoplankton species via maritime transport can potentially promote the growth of HABs in coastal systems. ... -
Evaluation of marine phytoplankton toxicity by application of marine invertebrate bioassays
(Instituto de Ciencias del Mar, 2014-06)The dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum and the haptophyte Prymnesium parvum are well known for their toxin production and negative effects in marine coastal environments. A. minutum produces toxins which cause paralytic ... -
Evidences towards deciphering the mode of action of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors in soil and pure cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea
(Springer, 2022)Background: Agriculture relies on the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which has led to the transformation of agricultural soils into high-nitrifying environments. Nevertheless, ...
