Cereal-legume mixtures increase net CO2 uptake in a forage system of the Eastern Pyrenees
Ibañez, Mercedes; Altimir, Núria; Ribas Artola, Àngela; Eugster, Werner; Sebastià, Ma. T. (European Geosciences Union; Copernicus Publications, 2020-06-11)Forage systems are the major land use, and provide essential resources for animal feeding. Assessing the influence of forage species on net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) is key to develop management strategies that can help ... -
Phenology and plant functional type dominance drive CO2 exchange in seminatural grasslands in the Pyrenees
Ibañez, Mercedes; Altimir, Núria; Ribas Artola, Àngela; Eugster, Werner; Sebastià, Ma. T. (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Understanding the mechanisms underlying net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) in mountain grasslands is important to quantify their relevance in the global carbon budget. However, complex interactions between environmental ... -
Responses in soil carbon and nitrogen fractionation after prescribed burning in the Montseny biosphere reserve (NE Iberian Peninsula)
Chowdhury, Sangita; Manjón-Cabeza, José; Ibañez, Mercedes; Mestre, Christian; Jose Broncano, Maria; Mosquera-Losada, Maria Rosa; Plaixats, Josefina; Sebastia, M.Teresa (MDPI, 2022)Prescribed fire is one of the most widely-used management tools to recover encroached rangelands. Fire has been reported to cause changes in the soil physical and chemical properties. However, the legacy effects of former ... -
Tree—Open Grassland Structure and Composition Drive Greenhouse Gas Exchange in Holm Oak Meadows of the Iberian Peninsula
Ibañez, Mercedes; Leiva, María José; Chocarro, Cristina; Aljazairi López, Salvador; Ribas Artola, Àngela; Sebastià, Ma. T. (MDPI, 2020-12-28)Iberian holm oak meadows are savannah-like ecosystems that result from traditional silvo-pastoral practices. However, such traditional uses are declining, driving changes in the typical tree—open grassland structure of ...
