Value of wild mushroom picking as an environmental service
(Elsevier, 2011)Among the environmental services provided by Mediterranean forests, wild mushroom picking is particularly appreciated. Where access to the forests is free, and when the property rights to the products that can be picked ... -
Variation in developmental patterns among elite wheat lines and relationships with yield, yield components and spike fertility
(Elsevier, 2016)Developmental patterns strongly influence spike fertility and grain number, which are primarily determined during the stem elongation period (i.e. time between terminal spikelet phase and anthesis). It has been proposed ... -
Variation in the access to deep soil water pools explains tree-to-tree differences in drought-triggered dieback of Mediterranean oaks
(Oxford University Press, 2020-03-03)Individual differences in the access to deep soil water pools may explain the differential damage among coexisting, conspecific trees as a consequence of drought-induced dieback. We addressed this issue by comparing the ... -
Variation of grain nitrogen content in relation with grain yield in old and modern Spanish wheats grown under a wide range of agronomic conditions in a Mediterranean region
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)Wheat yield and grain nitrogen concentration (GNC; mg N/g grain) are frequently negatively correlated. In most growing conditions, this is mainly due to a feedback process between GNC and the number of grains/m2. In ... -
Variedades de maiz grano ensayadas en el marco del grupo Genvce (I)
(Mapama, 2006)En este articulo se presentan los resultados productivos de las variedades de maíz para grano, ensayadas en el marco del Grupo para la Evaluación de Nuevas Variedades de Cereales en Espanya (Genvce), durante la campaña ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Vuelos de la defoliadora de maíz, pastos y céspedes, Mythimna (Pseudaletia) unipuncta (Haworth) en la zona de Lleida
(Espanya. Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino, 2000)Mythimna unipuncta causa daños en gramíneas cultivadas (principalmente maíz) y céspedes cuya importancia ha ido aumentando los últimos años. En nuestra región presenta cuatro vuelos de adultos. Los daños causados por la ... -
Vulnerability of riparian ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin to invasion by exotic plants: the case of middel-low Segre river (Catalonia, NW Iberian peninsula)
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2010)The aim of this paper is to validate the use of additive partitioning diversity models (species richness & Shannon index) and the mosaic landscape factors used in landscape ecology on the plant diversity present in the ... -
Warming effects on Pinus sylvestris in the cold-dry Siberian forest-steppe: Positive or negative balance of trade?
(MDPI, 2017-12-07)Understanding climate change impacts on drought-prone forests is a critical issue. We investigated ring-width and stable isotopes (Δ13C and δ18O) in two Pinus sylvestris stands of the cold-dry Siberian forest-steppe growing ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Wheat pre-anthesis development as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes (Ppd-1) under contrasting photoperiods
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)Fine tuning wheat phenology is of paramount importance for adaptation. A better understanding of how genetic constitution modulates the developmental responses during pre-anthesis phases would help to maintain or even ... -
When more is better: multigene engineering in plants
(Elsevier, 2010)The genomics revolution has taught us that a great deal of information can be derived from studying many genes or proteins at the same time. We are beginning to see this approach blossoming in applied research. Instead ... -
Wildland fire typologies and extreme temperatures in NE Spain
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2016)Understanding instrumental factors dealing with the development of large wildland fires is a need. Fire spread typologies and extreme temperature days were studied in the 1978-2012 period in Aragón (NE Spain). Temperature ... -
Winter cereal root growth and aboveground–belowground biomass ratios as affected by site and tillage system in dryland Mediterranean conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2014)Background and aims Understanding the interaction between crop roots and management and environmental factors can improve crop management and agricultural carbon sequestration. The objectives of this study were to ... -
Woody plants optimise stomatal behaviour relative to hydraulic risk
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Stomatal response to environmental conditions forms the backbone of all ecosystem and carbon cycle models, but is largely based on empirical relationships. Evolutionary theories of stomatal behaviour are critical for ... -
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann). Crawlers ... -
Yield and biomass in wheat and barley under a range of conditions in a Mediterranean site
(Elsevier, 2009)It has been broadly accepted that barley performs better than wheat, particularly under severe stress conditions of the Mediterranean basin. However, this assumption is not based on rigorous evidence. This study compared ... -
Yield and grain weight responses to post-anthesis increases in maximum temperature under field grown wheat as modified by nitrogen supply
(Elsevier, 2018)High-temperatures reduce yield of wheat and with global warming episodes of heat waves (only few days of high maximum temperatures) during grain filling will become more frequent. It has been recently reported that the ...
