Selected indigenous drought tolerant rhizobium strains as promising biostimulants for common bean in Northern Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03)
Drought is the most detrimental abiotic stress in agriculture, limiting crop growth and yield and, currently, its risk is increasing due to climate change. Thereby, ensuring food security will be one of the greatest ...
Gentle remediation options for soil with mixed chromium (VI) and lindane pollution: biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Gentle Remediation Options (GROs), such as biostimulation, bioaugmentation, phytoremediation and vermiremediation, are cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions for soils simultaneously polluted with organic ...
Anianabacter salinae gen. nov., sp. nov. ASV31T, a Facultative Alkaliphilic and Extremely Halotolerant Bacterium Isolated from Brine of a Millennial Continental Saltern
(MDPI, 2022-11-21)
During a prokaryotic diversity study in Añana Salt Valley, a new Rhodobacteraceae member, designated ASV31T, was isolated from Santa Engracia spring water. It was extremely halotolerant, tolerating up to 23% NaCl, and ...
Global patterns of tree density are contingent upon local determinants in the world’s natural forests
(Nature, 2023-01)
Previous attempts to quantify tree abundance at global scale have largely neglected the role of local competition in modulating the influence of climate and soils on tree density. Here, we evaluated whether mean tree size ...
Sustainability Assessment of Pasture-Based Dairy Sheep Systems: A Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Approach
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)
This article describes a novel methodological approach for the integrated sustainability assessment of pasture-based dairy sheep systems. Most studies on livestock system sustainability focus on animal production, farm ...
Impact of Colonizer Copepods on Zooplankton Structure and Diversity in Contrasting Estuaries
(Springer, 2022-12)
The impact of the occurrence of the non-indigenous species (NIS) Acartia tonsa, Oithona davisae, and Pseudodiaptomus marinus and of the range-expanding copepods Acartia bifilosa and Calanipeda aquaedulcis on the structure ...
Immediate effect of sewerage improvement on the phytoplankton and physicochemical conditions in the Urdaibai estuary (southeastern Bay of Biscay)
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Anthropic nutrient enrichment has become a major environmental issue in estuaries around the world, being the effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) one of the main causes. Phytoplankton is, together with nutrients, ...
Climate-trait relationships exhibit strong habitat specificity in plant communities across Europe
(Nature, 2023)
Ecological theory predicts close relationships between macroclimate and functional traits. Yet, global climatic gradients correlate only weakly with the trait composition of local plant communities, suggesting that important ...
Sea lamprey nests promote the diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages
(Public Library Science, 2022-12)
The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis states that increased habitat heterogeneity promotes
species diversity through increased availability of ecological niches. We aimed at describing
the local-scale (i.e. nest and ...
Distribution maps of vegetation alliances in Europe
(Wiley, 2022-01)
Aim The first comprehensive checklist of European phytosociological alliances, orders and classes (EuroVegChecklist) was published by Mucina et al. (2016, Applied Vegetation Science, 19 (Suppl. 1), 3-264). However, this ...
