Different Sets of Traits Explain Abundance and Distribution Patterns of European Plants at Different Spatial Scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-11)
Aim Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by ...
Dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors have a dual role in N2O emissions mitigation in forage systems under Atlantic climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]Nitrogen fertilization is the most important factor increasing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agriculture, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. These emissions are mainly produced by the soil microbial processes of ...
Response of Wheat Storage Proteins and Breadmaking Quality to Dimethylpyrazole-Based Nitrification Inhibitors under Different Nitrogen Fertilization Splitting Strategies
(MDPI, 2021-04-06)
Improving fertilizer nitrogen (N) use efficiency is essential to increase crop productivity and avoid environmental damage. This study was conducted during four crop cycles of winter wheat under humid Mediterranean conditions ...
The Relationship between Niche Breadth and Range Size of Beech (Fagus) Species Worldwide
(Wiley, 2021-04-27)
Aim: This work explores whether the commonly observed positive range size-niche breadth relationship exists for Fagus, one of the most dominant and widespread broad-leaved deciduous tree genera in temperate forests of the ...
Assessment of a Sheltered Euhaline Area of the Southeastern Bay of Biscay to Sustain Bivalve Production in Terms of Phytoplankton Community Composition
(Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2021-01)
This study describes the phytoplankton community in sheltered euhaline waters of the Basque coast (southeastern Bay of Biscay). Phytoplankton composition, cell size, abundance, biomass and the presence of potentially toxic ...
Interactive effects of discharge reduction and fine sediments on stream biofilm metabolism
(James N. McNair, 2021)
Discharge reduction, as caused by water diversion for hydropower, and fine sediments deposition, are prevalent stressors that may affect multiple ecosystem functions in streams. Periphytic biofilms play a key role in stream ...
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 ...
