Aggregate stability and soil surface sealing in irrigated soilsunder no-tillage versus conventional tillage
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2022)The effect of no-tillage (NT) (zero tillage) versus conventional tillage (CT) has beenevaluated in rainfed conditions but has seldom been studied under irrigation, wheresoil sealing favours soil degradation. To contribute ... -
New qPCR protocol to detect Diplodia corticola shows phoretic association with the oak pinhole borer Platypus cylindrus
(Elsevier, 2022)BACKGROUND: Botryosphaeria canker (causal agent: Diplodia corticola) is considered one of the most important diseases of cork oak (Quercus suber) stands since it necrotizes the subero-phellodermic layer preventing cork ... -
Fairy ring-induced soil potassium depletion gradients reshape microbial community composition in a montane grassland
(WILEY, 2022)Fairy rings promoting circular greening belts in the vegetation can shape soil microbial communities by altering soil conditions. Knowledge about soil variables involved in this process is incomplete. We characterised the ... -
Hot water treatment causes lasting alteration to the grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) mycobiome and reduces pathogenic species causing grapevine trunk diseases
(MDPI, 2022)The effective management of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) is an ongoing challenge. Hot water treatment (HWT) is an environmentally friendly and economically viable option; however, the short-term effects of HWT on grapevine ... -
Long-term effects of sheep-grazing and its removal on vegetation dynamics of British upland grasslands and moorlands; local management cannot overcome large-scale trends
(Elsevier, 2022)The upland and mountainous regions of northern Europe provide a wide variety of ecosystem services. However, these ecosystem services are highly vulnerable to environmental and land-use change. To ensure their future ... -
Are the agronomic performance and grain quality characteristics of bread wheat Mediterranean landraces related to the climate prevalent in their area of origin?
(Elsevier, 2022)This study analyses the relationship between the climate of the countries where wheat landraces are specifically adapted, and their agronomic and grain quality characteristics. Regions with similar climate within the ... -
Cattle dung and bioturbation by dung beetles improve oak seedling establishment in Mediterranean silvopastoral ecosystems
(Springer, 2022)This study aims to determine whether the application of cattle manure and associated bioturbation by dung beetles and other invertebrates can increase oak seedling establishment in the high biodiversity Mediterranean ... -
Open questions and research needs in the adoption of conservation agriculture in the mediterranean area
(MDPI, 2022)This article aims to provide a review of major challenges and research needs for the diffusion of conservation agriculture (CA) and the improvement of crop–soil–water conditions in Southern Europe and Northern Africa. A ... -
Soil gas diffusivity and pore continuity dynamics under different tillage and crop sequences in an irrigated Mediterranean area
(Elsevier, 2022)Gas diffusion can be used to quantify soil quality and structural development that is strongly affected by soil use and management practices. There is a lack of information about the quantitative effect of tillage combined ... -
Plant's gypsum affinity shapes responses to specific edaphic constraints without limiting responses to other general constraints
(Springer, 2021-06-01)Aims Harsh edaphic environments harbor species with different soil affinities. Plant's responses to specific edaphic constraints may be compromised against re- sponses to prevalent stresses shared with other semi- arid ... -
Direct and correlated responses to artificial selection for growth and water-use efficiency in a Mediterranean pine
(Botanical Society of America, 2021-01-01)Premise: Persistence of tree populations in the face of global change relies on their capacity to respond to biotic and abiotic stressors through plastic or adaptive changes. Genetic adaptation will depend on the additive ... -
Intensifying cereal management in dryland Mediterranean agriculture: rainfed wheat and barley responses to nitrogen fertilisation
(Elsevier, 2022)Under dryland systems of the Mediterranean basin, water management is widely recognised critical for improving grain yield. It has been proposed that nitrogen (N) fertilisation may be a tool to increase grain yield by ... -
Historical and future spatially-explicit climate change impacts on mycorrhizal and saprotrophic macrofungal productivity in Mediterranean pine forests
(Elsevier, 2022)Fungi are responsible for many of the processes that occur in natural ecosystems and largely determine forest ecosystem dynamics, such as the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients and sequester carbon. Understanding ... -
Macabeo (Viura) grape response to climate variability in areas located at different elevations in the Rioja Designation of Origin
(WILEY, 2022)This research aims to analyse the influence of climatic conditions on phenology and grape composition of Macabeo, which is one of the white varieties authorized in Rioja DOCa. Phenological dates for flowers separated and ... -
The influence of planting periods on herbivore and natural enemy abundance on yellow sticky traps in Bt maize fields
(MDPI, 2022)Simple Summary Previous research has shown that both landscape and field variables significantly influence the abundance of herbivorous insects and their natural enemies in Bt maize; however, crop phenology was found to ... -
Anthropogenic disturbances and the emergence of native diseases: a threat to forest health
(Springer, 2022)Purpose of Review Human-caused global change is fundamentally altering natural forest ecosystems. More trees are exhibiting a wide range of symptoms indicative of poor vigour, particularly stressed species at the edge of ... -
Molecular and morphological identification of the alfalfa weevil larval parasitoids Bathyplectes anura and Bathyplectes curculionis to estimate the rate of parasitism
(Springer, 2022)The alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica Gyllenhal, Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest of alfalfa crops. Chemical control measures are inefficient, but the larvae are often infested by parasitoid wasps of the genus ... -
Uncertainty of biomass stocks in Spanish forests: a comprehensive comparison of allometric equations
(Springer, 2022)Biomass and carbon content are essential indicators for monitoring forest ecosystems and their role in climate action, but their estimation is not straightforward. A typical approach to solve these limitations has been the ... -
A closer look at sex pheromone autodetection in the Oriental fruit moth
(Springer Nature, 2022)Female moths emit sex pheromone to attracts males, and although they are not attracted to their own sex pheromone, they appear to detect it as it affects their behavior. In order to elucidate the mechanism of pheromone ... -
Development of a facile genetic transformation system for the Spanish elite rice paella genotype Bomba
(SPRINGER, 2022)We report the development of an efficient and reproducible genetic transformation system for the recalcitrant Spanish elite rice paella genotype, Bomba. Preconditioned embryos derived from dry seeds were bombarded with ...
