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 ...
Integrating stakeholders’ demands and scientific knowledge on ecosystem services in landscape planning
(Springer, 2014-02-07)
The conflict between conservation and timber production is shifting in regions such as Biscay (Basque Country, northern Spain) where planted forests are no longer profitable without public subsidies and environmentalist ...
Can understorey native woodland plant species regenerate under exotic pine plantations using natural succession?
(Elsevier, 2013-08-26)
Forestry industry in many European countries has begun to focus on sustainable forest management practices, and consequently, a greater emphasis is now being placed on the restoration and enhancement of native woodlands ...
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 ...
