Las invasiones vegetales en sistemas agrícolas. Retrospectiva de los últimos 40 años en Cataluña
(Asociación Interprofesional para el Desarrollo Agrario (AIDA), 2020)Los sistemas agrícolas son una de las vías preferentes de introducción de especies vegetales exóticas y la perturbación asociada a estos hábitats ha favorecido muchos casos de invasión. Sin embargo, el estudio de este ... -
Floristic diversity in semi-natural mountain grassland included in the Natural Habitat Types of Community Interest
(Centre International de Hautes Etudes Agronomiques Méditerranéennes (CIHEAM), 2010)The aim of this work is to evaluate the current situation of the flora and forage production in Pyrenean hay meadows, included in the Natural Habitat Types of Community Interest (NHTCI). 104 phytosociological relevés have ... -
Assessing the distribution of forest ecosystem services in a highly populated Mediterranean region
(Elsevier, 2018-06-20)Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of goods and services to society and host high levels of biodiversity. Nevertheless, forest ecosystem services (ES) are often quantified and assessed using simplified methodologies ... -
Preparation and uses of chlorinated glycerol derivatives
(MDPI, 2020-05-28)Crude glycerol (C3H8O3) is a major by-product of biodiesel production from vegetable oils and animal fats. The increased biodiesel production in the last two decades has forced glycerol production up and prices down. ... -
Are awns truly relevant for wheat yields? A study of performance of awned/awnless isogenic lines and their response to source-sink manipulations
(Elsevier, 2020-05-19)The introgression of awns as a source of photoassimilates during grain filling has received has long been of particular attention in wheat. Although the benefits for average grain weight (AGW) seem consistent, those for ... -
Experimental evidence for sustained carbon sequestration in fire-managed, peat moorlands
(Springer Nature, 2018-12-03)Peat moorlands are important habitats in the boreal region, where they store approximately 30% of the global soil carbon (C). Prescribed burning on peat is a very contentious management strategy, widely linked with loss ... -
Vertical and longitudinal variations in plant communities of drawdown zone of a monsoonal riverine reservoir in South Korea
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-26)Background: The plant communities within reservoir drawdown zones are ecologically important as they provide a range of ecosystem services such as stabilizing the shoreline, improving water quality, enhancing biodiversity, ... -
Prolamin content and grain weight in RNAi silenced wheat lines under different conditions of temperature and nitrogen availability
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-20)Temperature and nitrogen (N) availability are two important environmental factors that may produce important changes in grain composition during grain filling of bread wheat. In this study, four wheat lines with the ... -
The invasive forest pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus boosts mortality and triggers niche replacement of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior)
(Springer Nature, 2020-03-24)Determining the impacts of invasive pathogens on tree mortality and growth is a difficult task, in particular in the case of species occurring naturally at low frequencies in mixed stands. In this study, we quantify such ... -
Crown bulk density and fuel moisture dynamics in Pinus pinaster stands are neither modified by thinning nor captured by the Forest Fire Weather Index
(Springer Nature, 2017-06-28)Key message. No temporal change was recorded during summer in fuel availability in Pinus pinaster stands, contrary to predictions from the Forest Fire Weather Index. Also, thinning had no mid-term effect on fuel moisture ... -
A broad-scale analysis of the main factors determining the current structure and understory composition of Catalonian sub-alpine (Pinus uncinata Ram.) forests
(Oxford University Press, 2011-12-13)A broad-scale analysis of the structure and understory composition of Pyrenean mountain pine (Pinus uncinata Ram.) stands was performed using data from the Spanish National Forest Inventory. Twelve structure-based forest ... -
Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest-tree symbioses
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2019-05-19)The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of ... -
La forestación de tierras agrícolas: balance de un instrumento de política forestal para el cambio del uso de la tierra
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2019-09-11)Se han cumplido 25 años del inicio del programa de forestación de tierras agrarias con motivo de la reforma de la Política Agrícola Comunitaria (PAC) en 1992. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un análisis global, a ... -
Reconstructing Bronze Age diets and farming strategies at the early Bronze Age sites of La Bastida and Gatas (southeast Iberia) using stable isotope analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2020-03-11)The El Argar society of the Bronze Age in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula (2200–1550 cal BCE) was among the first complex societies in Europe. Its economy was based on cereal cultivation and metallurgy, it was ... -
Innovation networks on Mediterranean non wood forest products
(Bursa Technical University, 2019-06-24)Non Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) are important resources for rural economies. Highly regarded food products are collected from Mediterranean forests, such as nuts, berries, mushrooms and truffles, as well as aromatic and ... -
Plant species colonization in newly created road habitats of South Korea: insights for more effective restoration
(Elsevier, 2020-02-20)Despite the advances in restoration methods for newly created road habitats such as roadcuts and embankments, implementation in different parts of the world is limited by high cost and lack of knowledge of naturally formed ... -
The Catalan butterfly monitoring scheme has the capacity to detect effects of modifying agricultural practices
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-01-24)Impacts of agricultural management practices on the receiving environment are seldom suitably assessed because environmental monitoring is costly. In this regard, data generated by already existing environmental survey ... -
Irrigation and tillage effects on soil nitrous oxide emissions in maize monoculture
