Biodegradable plastic mulch films: impacts on soil microbial communities and ecosystem functions
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Agricultural plastic mulch films are widely used in specialty crop production systems because of their agronomic benefits. Biodegradable plastic mulches (BDMs) offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional ... -
Biodiversity differences between managed and unmanaged forests: meta-analysis of species richness in Europe
(Wiley, 2010)Past and present pressures on forest resources have led to a drastic decrease in the surface area of unmanaged forests in Europe. Changes in forest structure, composition, and dynamics inevitably lead to changes in the ... -
Building bridges: an integrated strategy for sustainable food production throughout the value chain
(Springer, 2013)The food production and processing value chain is under pressure from all sides-increasing demand driven by a growing and more affluent population; dwindling resources caused by urbanization, land erosion, pollution and ... -
Camelina as rotation crop for weed control in organic farming in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate
(MDPI, 2018-10-24)Crop rotation in winter cereals in semiarid Mediterranean climates is highly desirable to prevent weed infestations, but the climatic conditions make it difficult to implement alternative crops to winter cereals. Camelina ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation – Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(European Geosciences UnionCopernicus Publications, 2020-03-26)The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ... -
Cereal-legume mixtures increase net CO2 uptake in a forage system of the Eastern Pyrenees
(European Geosciences UnionCopernicus 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 ... -
Changes in biodiversity composition and soil nutrient content with management in a Pyrenean grassland community
(European Grassland Federation, 2010)We investigated the influence of livestock type on vegetation and biogeochemical cycling in grasslands with the objective of describing differences between agropastoral systems experiencing different managements from a ... -
Characterisation of emergence of autumn and spring cohorts of Galium spp. in winter cereals
(European Weed Research Society, 2010)The emergence of three artificial cohorts of Galium aparine, G. spurium and G. tricornutum with different accessions was studied over two years under the climatic conditions of north-eastern Spain. Seeds were sown in ... -
Combination of strategies to supply calcium and reduce bitter pit in ‘Golden Delicious’ apples
(Elsevier, 2017)Calcium (Ca) sprays and Ca applications to soil throughout the growing season or Ca solution dips at post-harvest are widespread practices to supply Ca and decrease bitter pit in apples. However, published results conflict, ... -
Complex vegetation responses to soil disturbances in mountain grassland
(Springer Verlag, 2008)We studied vegetation responses to disturbances originated by ants and voles in subalpine grasslands in the Eastern Pyrenees. We compared the effects of these small-scale disturbances with those of a large-scale disturbance ... -
Composición, distribución altitudinal y sintaxonomía de los bojedales en las sierras de Cadí y Moixeró (Prepirineo catalán)
(Universitat de Barcelona, 1990)Composition, altitudinal distritbution and syntaxonomy of box communities in the Cadí and Moixeró mountains (Catalan Pyrenees). The floristic composition and some ecological aspects of the Buxus sempervirem woodlands from ... -
Conservation of soil organic carbon, biodiversity and the provision of other ecosystem services along climatic gradients in West Africa
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)Terrestrial carbon resources are major drivers of development in West Africa. The distribution of these resources co-varies with ecosystem type and rainfall along a strong Northeast-Southwest climatic gradient. Soil ... -
Consideraciones técnicas para la programación de la fertirrigación en cultivos frutales
(Mapama, 2011)Un plan de abonado debe tener en cuenta las extracciones del cultivo, pero también la oferta de nutrientes proveniente del medio, que incorpora tanto los aspectos de la fertilidad intrinseca del suelo como la oferta derivada ... -
Contribució al coneixement de la flora catalana occidental, III
(Institució Catalana d'Història Natural, 1991)En aquest treball s'aporten dades sobre la presència de nous tàxons a la plana occidental catalana, i que impliquen, en la majoria dels casos, ampliar de manera notable l'àrea de distribució de l'espècie. Són de destacar ... -
Contribució del patrimoni biològic municipal al Segrià: flora d’afinitat estèpica dels secans
(Centre d'Estudis Comarcals del SegriàPagès Editors, 2014)Un conjunt d’espècies de l’est d’Europa i Àsia van colonitzar la Península Ibèrica durant el miocè. Aquestes espècies són conegudes com plantes estèpiques. El nostre estudi mostra l’edat actual de les poblacions d’aquestes ... -
Control de Oxalis latifolia: revisión y propuestas para su mejoramiento
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2008)Oxalis latifolia is a weed with a tropical, temperate and mediterranean distribution. It invades orchards, plant nurseries, gardens and corn fi elds. Although some mechanical and cultural methods and some herbicides may ... -
Critical evaluation of strategies for mineral fortification of staple food crops
(Springer Verlag, 2010)Staple food crops, in particular cereal grains, are poor sources of key mineral nutrients. As a result, the world’s poorest people, generally those subsisting on a monotonous cereal diet, are also those most vulnerable ... -
Cultural control of herbicide-resistant Lolium rigidum Gaud. populations in winter cereal in Northeastern Spain
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2009)Lolium rigidum Gaud. is one of the most common weed species in winter cereals in Northeastern Spain. Herbicide resistance has been growing since the mid 90's and exclusive herbicide use is not enough in many cases, so that ...
