Selection of non-target Lepidoptera species to test Bt maize effects in the laboratory: which species and how to breed them?
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-12-29)Bt maize targeting Lepidopteran pests poses potential risks for non-target (NT) butterflies and moths which are addressed in the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified crop plants. For this purpose, ... -
Impacts of Global Change on the Spatial Dynamics of Treeline in Venezuelan Andes
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-25)The treeline in the Andes is considered an essential ecotone between the Montane forest and Páramo. This treeline in the Venezuelan Andes corresponds with a transitional ecosystem defined as the Páramo forest. In this work, ... -
Future trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests under global change scenarios
(Elsevier, 2020-09-02)Mediterranean forests play a key role in providing services and goods to society, and are currently threatened by global change. We assessed the future provision of ecosystem services by Mediterranean pine forests under a ... -
A hydroclimatic model for the distribution of fire on Earth
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021-03-25)The distribution of fire on Earth has been monitored from space for several decades, yet the geography of global fire regimes has proven difficult to reproduce from interactions of climate, vegetation, terrain, land use ... -
Impact of Rising Temperature in the Deposition Patterns of Bioactive Compounds in Field Grown Food Barley Grains
(MDPI, 2021)High temperatures at the end of the season are frequent under Mediterranean conditions, affecting final grain quality. This study determined the deposition patterns throughout grain filling of dry matter, dietary fiber, ... -
Performance of statistical and machine learning-based methods for predicting biogeographical patterns of fungal productivity in forest ecosystems
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-15)Background: The prediction of biogeographical patterns from a large number of driving factors with complex interactions, correlations and non-linear dependences require advanced analytical methods and modeling tools. This ... -
Gobernanza y resiliencia en la gestión preventiva de incendios: el papel del pastoreo en Andalucía y Cataluña
(Sociedad Española para el Estudio de los Pastos (SEEP), 2018-12-28)Una gobernanza que incorpore la complejidad inherente a la gestión de recursos naturales en el Mediterráneo puede ejercer un papel fundamental en la resiliencia de los sistemas socioecológicos a los incendios forestales. ... -
Soil microclimate changes affect soil fungal communities in a Mediterranean pine forest
(WileyNew Phytologist Trust, 2018-05-14)Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition of plant‐associated fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated the spatio‐temporal dynamics of soil ... -
Sistemes agroalimentaris: agricultura, ramaderia i pesca
(Generalitat de CatalunyaInstitut d'Estudis Catalans, 2016)El sector agropecuari català és plenament conscient del canvi climàtic i del canvi global, i ja fa temps que ha iniciat polítiques i actuacions de mitigació i d’adaptació a aquests canvis. Parteix de l’adaptació de l’agronomia ... -
Wheat developmental traits as affected by the interaction between Eps-7D and temperature under contrasting photoperiods with insensitive Ppd-D1 background
(MDPI, 2021)Earliness per se (Eps) genes are important to fine tune adaptation, and studying their probable pleiotropic effect on wheat yield traits is worthwhile. In addition, it has been shown that some Eps genes interact with ... -
Phenology and Floret Development as Affected by the Interaction between Eps-7D and Ppd-D1
(MDPI, 2021)Earliness per se (Eps) genes may play a critical role in further improving wheat adaptation and fine-tuning wheat development to cope with climate change. There are only few studies on the detailed effect of Eps on wheat ... -
Weight of individual wheat grains estimated from high-throughput digital images of grain area
(Elsevier, 2021-01-29)Average grain weight (AGW) is a major component of wheat yield. When attempting to elucidate mechanisms behind treatments effects on AGW, the distribution of the weight of individual grains may be critical. Determining the ... -
Conceptual and methodological issues in estimating the success of ecological restoration
(Elsevier, 2021-01-23)Ecological restoration (ER) of terrestrial ecosystems has become widespread in past decades. However, assessing its success is complex mainly due to the diversity of objectives pursued, actions undertaken but also statistical ... -
β-carotene and Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein differentially modulate feeding behaviour, mortality and physiology of European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis)
(Public Library of Science, 2021-02-16)Maize with enhanced β-carotene production was engineered to counteract pervasive vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. Second-generation biofortified crops are being developed with additional traits that confer ... -
Halophytophthora fluviatilis Pathogenicity and Distribution along a Mediterranean-Subalpine Gradient
(MDPI, 2021-02-03)Halophytophthora species have been traditionally regarded as brackish water oomycetes; however, recent reports in inland freshwater call for a better understanding of their ecology and possible pathogenicity. We studied ... -
Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity in Pearling Fractions of Hulled, Partially Hull-Less and Hull-Less Food Barley Genotypes
(MDPI, 2021-03-09)Three food barley genotypes differing in the presence or absence of husks were sequentially pearled and their fractions analyzed for ash, proteins, bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in order to identify potential ... -
Impact of Robinia pseudoacacia stand conversion on soil properties and bacterial community composition in Mount Tai, China
(Springer Nature, 2021-03)Background: Robinia pseudoacacia is a widely planted pioneer tree species in reforestations on barren mountains in northern China. Because of its nitrogen-fixing ability, it can play a positive role in soil and forest ... -
Sampling forest soils to describe fungal diversity and composition. Which is the optimal sampling size in Mediterranean pure and mixed pine oak forests?
(British Mycological SocietyElsevier, 2021-02-08)Soil sampling is a critical step affecting perceived fungal diversity, however sampling optimization for high-throughput-DNA sequencing studies have never been tested in Mediterranean forest ecosystems. We identified the ... -
