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 ...
Hydnum pallidum Raddi, the Correct Name for H. albidum Peck in the Sense of European Authors and the Recently Described H. reginae Kibby, Liimat. & Niskanen
(MDPI, 2023-11-25)
The systematics of the genus Hydnum have undergone important advances, and many new species have been described with the aid of molecular data. A revision of old names that refer to Hydnum s. str., considering the knowledge ...
Climate reverses directionality in the richness–abundance relationship across the World’s main forest biomes
(Nature, 2020-11-06)
More tree species can increase the carbon storage capacity of forests (here referred to as the more species hypothesis) through increased tree productivity and tree abundance resulting from complementarity, but they can ...
Mechanism of action of nitrification inhibitors based on dimethylpyrazole: A matter of chelation
(Elsevier, 2020-08-22)
In agriculture, the applied nitrogen (N) can be lost in the environment in different forms because of microbial transformations. It is of special concern the nitrate (NO3−) leaching and the nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, ...
The green thorns of Ulex europaeus play both defensive and photosynthetic roles: consequences for predictions of the enemy release hypothesis
(Springer, 2022)
The widespread invasive success of Ulex europaeus, a thorny shrub native to NW Europe, remains to be understood from a functional perspec- tive. According to the Enemy Release Hypothesis (ERH), lower pressure by vertebrate ...
Reduced growth sensitivity to water availability as potential indicator of drought-induced tree mortality risk in a Mediterranean Pinus sylvestris L. forest
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023)
Introduction: Drought-associated tree mortality has been increasing worldwide since the last decades, impacting structure and functioning of forest ecosystems, with implications for energy, carbon and water fluxes. However, ...
Detecting early- warning signals of concern in plant populations with a Citizen Science network. Are threatened and other priority species for conservation performing worse?
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Long-term monitoring of biodiversity is a fundamental part of environmental management, and Citizen Science (CS) approaches are increasing their contribution to such endeavour. CS plant monitoring programmes, however, ...
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 ...
Constrained trait variation by water availability modulates radial growth in evergreen and deciduous Mediterranean oaks
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Spatial and temporal variation in functional traits allows trees to adjust to shifting environmental conditions such as water stress. However, the change of traits, both mean and variances, along water availability gradients ...
