Maize senescence under contrasting source-sink ratios during the grain filling period
(Elsevier, 2020-09-06)Grain growth and leaf senescence are the main processes during post-silking in maize. An unanswered question is how changes in sink strength (the number of grains to be filled) affect leaf senescence. We studied the effect ... -
Papel de los factores bióticos y las sequías en el decaimiento del bosque: aportaciones desde la dendroecología
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre (AEET), 2015-07-18)El aumento de la mortalidad y la pérdida de vitalidad de los bosques son procesos que afectan a diversas especies de árboles y biomas. Estos fenómenos de decaimiento forestal se han asociado a la interacción de múltiples ... -
Vegetation type determines spore deposition within a forest–agricultural mosaic landscape
(Oxford University Press, 2020-05-01)Predicting fungal community assembly is partly limited by our understanding of the factors driving the composition of deposited spores. We studied the relative contribution of vegetation, geographical distance, seasonality ... -
Emerging diseases in European forest ecosystems and responses in society
(MDPI, 2011-06-01)New diseases in forest ecosystems have been reported at an increasing rate over the last century. Some reasons for this include the increased disturbance by humans to forest ecosystems, changed climatic conditions and ... -
Insect defoliation is linked to a decrease in soil ectomycorrhizal biomass and shifts in needle endophytic communities
(Oxford University Press, 2020-08-12)Insect outbreaks of increasing frequency and severity in forests are predicted due to climate change. Insect herbivory is known to promote physiological changes in forest trees. However, little is known about whether these ... -
Floret development and spike fertility in wheat: Differences between cultivars of contrasting yield potential and their sensitivity to photoperiod and soil N
(Elsevier, 2020-07-17)In a previous paper (Field Crops Res. 203, 114-127), we showed that the difference in yield potential between a contemporary and a traditional cultivar was due to differences in fruiting efficiency, likely derived from ... -
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
