The drawdown phase of dam decommissioning is a hot moment of gaseous carbon emissions from a temperate reservoir
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Dam decommissioning (DD) is a viable management option for thousands of ageing dams. Reservoirs are large carbon sinks, and reservoir drawdown results in important carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. We studied ...
Co-Creation of Knowledge for Ecosystem Services Approach to Spatial Planning in the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
Sustainable development has to be based on scientific knowledge, social agreements, and political decisions. This study aimed to analyse the implementation of the ecosystem services approach (ESA) in the spatial planning ...
Floristic Composition Mediates Change in Forage Nutritive Quality of Atlantic Mountain Grasslands after Experimental Grazing Exclusion
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Simultaneous reduction of biodiversity and forage nutritive value after grazing abandonment represents a critical agroecological problem observed in temperate mountain grasslands. However, how both processes affect each ...
Zero-valent iron nanoparticles and organic amendment assisted rhizoremediation of mixed contaminated soil using Brassica napus
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Soil is one of our most important natural resources. Regrettably, the expansion of human activities has resulted in the degradation of the soil resource due to contamination with a myriad of organic and inorganic compounds. ...
Key plant species and detritivores drive diversity effects on instream leaf litter decomposition more than functional diversity: A microcosm study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)
Anthropogenic impacts on freshwater ecosystems cause critical losses of biodiversity that can in turn impair key processes such as decomposition and nutrient cycling. Forest streams are mainly subsidized by terrestrial ...
Litter Quality Is a Stronger Driver than Temperature of Early Microbial Decomposition in Oligotrophic Streams: a Microcosm Study
(Springer, 2021-11)
[EN]Litter decomposition is an ecological process of key importance for forest headwater stream functioning, with repercussions for the global carbon cycle. The process is directly and indirectly mediated by microbial ...
Extreme temperature events alter stream ecosystem functioning
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Extreme temperature events have increased in intensity, duration and frequency in the last century, with potential consequences on organisms and ecosystems. In many streams, leaf litter of terrestrial origin is a key ...
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 ...
Latitude Dictates Plant Diversity Effects on Instream Decomposition
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03)
Running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. Diversity of this litter may influence instream decomposition ...
Soybean Inoculated with One Bradyrhizobium Strain Isolated at Elevated [CO2] Show an Impaired C and N Metabolism When Grown at Ambient [CO2]
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05-20)
Soybean (Glycine max L.) future response to elevated [CO2] has been shown to differ when inoculated with B. japonicum strains isolated at ambient or elevated [CO2]. Plants, inoculated with three Bradyrhizobium strains ...
