Insights on the Origin of Invasive Copepods colonizing Basque Estuaries; a DNA Barcoding Approach
(Biomed Central, 2016-07-13)
Background: The introduction of NIS to estuaries and coastal embayment is of great concern. Commercial ships’
ballast water discharge and the northwards progression of species due to the ongoing climate change arise as ...
Stress Response to Climate Change and Postharvest Handling in Two Differently Pigmented Lettuce Genotypes: Impact on Alternaria alternata Invasion and Mycotoxin Production
(MDPI, 2023-03-14)
Many species of Alternaria are important pathogens that cause plant diseases and postharvest rots. They lead to significant economic losses in agriculture and affect human and animal health due to their capacity to produce ...
Assessment of determinants of high nature value (HNV) farmland at plot scale in Western Pyrenees
(Elsevier, 2024-01)
The concept of High Nature Value (HNV) farming hinges on the causality between agroecosystems with low intensity of management and the corresponding environmental outcomes, including high levels of biodiversity and the ...
Changes in environmental CO2 concentration can modify Rhizobium-soybean specificity and condition plant fitness and productivity
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
(EN) Over the past 10 years, it has been demonstrated in the literature that legume responses to elevated [CO2], whether positive, negative, or null, are in part dependent on the Rhizobium species and genotypes that establish ...
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 ...
Identifying a green infrastructure to prioritise areas for restoration to enhance the landscape connectivity and the provision of ecosystem services
(Springer Nature, 2023-11)
Introduction
Habitat fragmentation is one of the major causes of the loss of biodiversity that our planet is experiencing. This has affected the ecosystems functioning and, consequently, the provision of ecosystem ...
Phytoplankton community composition in relation to environmental variability in the Urdaibai estuary (SE Bay of Biscay): Microscopy and eDNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Phytoplankton monitoring is essential for the global understanding of aquatic ecosystems. The present research studies the phytoplankton community of the Urdaibai estuary, combining microscopy and eDNA metabarcoding for ...
Use of native species to improve carbon sequestration and contribute towards solving the environmental problems of the timberlands in Biscay, northern Spain.
(Elsevier, 2013-03-15)
The rapid transformation of natural forest areas into fast-growing exotic species plantations, where the main objective is timber and pulp production, has led to a neglect of other services forests provide in many parts ...
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 ...
Co-benefits and trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation
(Elsevier, 2012-12-05)
The trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation were analysed in a biosphere reserve area. With the aim of proposing criteria for conservation plans that would include ecosystem services and ...
