Soil fungal community and mating type development of Tuber melanosporum in a 20-year chronosequence of black truffle plantations
(Elsevier, 2022)Black truffle plantations are established on the basis that Tuber melanosporum Vittad. spreads from artificially inoculated trees. Although truffle cultivation has progressed tremendously over the past 30 years, the ... -
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 ... -
Soil management effects on greenhouse gases production at the macroaggregate scale
(Elsevier, 2014)Agricultural management practices play an important role in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions due to their impact on the soil microenvironment. In this study, two experiments were performed to investigate the influence of ... -
Soil microclimate changes affect soil fungal communities in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Wiley; New 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 ... -
Soil organic carbon storage in a no-tillage chronosequence under Mediterranean conditions
(Springer, 2014)The duration of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in agricultural soils varies according to soil management, land-use history and soil and climate conditions. Despite several experiments have reported SOC sequestration ... -
Soil physico-chemical properties have a greater effect on soil fungi than host species in Mediterranean pure and mixed pine forests
(Elsevier, 2021-06-28)Soil fungi are fundamental drivers of forest ecosystem processes. Soil physico-chemical parameters and vegetation features such as host type or stand structure can affect soil fungal communities. However, there is a lack ... -
Some challenges for forest fire risk predictions in the21st Century
(MDPI, 2021-04-12) -
Sowing date affects maize development and yield in irrigated Mediterranean environments
(MDPI, 2019-03-26)Timely sowing is critical for maximizing yield for both grain and biomass in maize.The effects of early (mid-March), normal (mid-April), and late (mid-May) sowing date (SD) werestudied over a three-year period in irrigated ... -
Spatial variability in grape yield and quality influenced by soil and crop nutrition characteristics
(Springer, 2012)Knowledge of spatial variability of soil fertility and plant nutrition is critical for planning and implementing site-specific vineyard management. To better understand the key drivers behind vineyard variability, yield ... -
Spatio‐temporal patterns of tree growth as related to carbon isotope fractionation in European forests under changing climate
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019)Aim The aim was to decipher Europe‐wide spatio‐temporal patterns of forest growth dynamics and their associations with carbon isotope fractionation processes inferred from tree rings as modulated by climate warming. Location ... -
Species complex and temporal associations between coccinellids and aphids in alfalfa stands in Spain
(MDPI, 2021): Alfalfa is known to be an important reservoir harboring natural enemies. The reduction in insecticide sprayings in recent years has allowed us to study the coccinellid species complex in this crop and the relationship ... -
Spermine facilitates recovery from drought but does not confer drought tolerance in transgenic rice plants expressing Datura stramonium S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Polyamines are known to play important roles in plant stress tolerance but it has been difficult to determine precise functions for each type of polyamine and their interrelationships. To dissect the roles of putrescine ... -
Sphaerophoria rueppelli adults change their foraging behavior after mating but maintain the same preferences to flower traits
(Springer; International Organization for Biological Control, 2019-02-20)Hoverflies can play an important role in aphid biological control. Adult hoverflies depend on pollen and nectar to survive. Therefore the placement of flower resources in agroecosystems is a common method to enhance the ... -
Stable carbon isotopes in archaeobotanical remains and palaeoclimate
(Institut d'Estudis Catalans. Secció de Ciències i Tecnologia, 2008)Es descriu una metodologia recent per a inferir la precipitació en el passat basada en l’anàlisi de la composició isotòpica del carboni (δ13C) en restes arqueobotàniques. Un cop descrita la base fisiològica de la tècnica, ... -
Stable isotope views on ecosystem function: challenging or challenged?
(The Royal Society, 2010)Stable isotopes and their potential for detecting various and complex ecosystem processes are attracting an increasing number of scientists. Progress is challenging, particularly under global change scenarios, but some ... -
Stable isotopes in arid and semi-arid forest systems
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2005)El empleo de isótopos estables en el ámbito de la ecología forestal ha ido creciendo progresivamente en las últimas dos décadas. Cabe esperar que esta tendencia se mantenga en el futuro, ya que éstos aportan una visión ... -
Stand structure and local landscape variables are the dominant factors explaining shrub and tree diversity in Mediterranean forests
(MDPI, 2021)Plant diversity is a core value of forests and is rapidly becoming a primary management goal under the threat of global environmental changes. Changing conditions, including forestry interventions, or lack of them, may ... -
Stover management modifies soil organic carbon dynamics in the short-term under semiarid continuous maize
(Elsevier, 2021-07-03)In croplands, the adoption of certain management practices may increase soil organic carbon (SOC) levels. In this study, we evaluated the short-term impact of crop stover management and the interaction between crop stover ... -
Straightening the crooked: intraspecific divergence of stem posture control and associated trade-offs in a model conifer
(Oxford University Press, 2022)Although the straightening capacity of the stem is key for light capture and mechanical stability in forest trees, little is known about its adaptive implications. Assuming that stem straightening is costly, trade-offs are ... -
Strategic patent analysis in plant biotechnology: terpenoid indole alkaloid metabolic engineering as a case study
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2014)The do-it-yourself patent search is a useful alternative to professional patent analysis particularly in the context of publicly funded projects where funds for IP activities may be limited. As a case study, we analysed ...
