Centennial-scale precipitation anomalies in the southern Altiplano (18° S) suggest an extratropical driver for the South American summer monsoon during the late Holocene
(European Geosciences Union, 2019-10-16)
[Abstract] Modern precipitation anomalies in the Altiplano, South America, are closely linked to the strength of the South American summer monsoon (SASM), which is influenced by large-scale climate features sourced in the ...
Lake-level and salinity reconstruction from diatom analyses in Quillagua formation (late Neogene, Central Andean forearc, northern Chile)
(Elsevier, 1999)
A sedimentary and micropaleontological study of the Quillagua Formation provides a detailed paleohydrological reconstruction of the lacustrine system which occupied the present-day hyperarid Quillagua–Llamara fore-arc Basin ...
Identification of the main driving mechanisms in the evolution of a small coastal wetland (Traba, Galicia, NW Spain) since its origin 5700 cal yr BP
(Elsevier, 2007)
This paper examines the interdependence among the different forcing factors in the evolution of the Traba coastal wetland (Galicia, NW Spain) based on lithofacies and diatom analyses of three cores reaching the basement. ...
The Rapid Effects of Yellow-Legged Gull (Larus michahellis) Colony on Dune Habitats and Plant Landscape in the Atlantic Islands National Park (NW Spain)
(MDPI, 2022-02-09)
[Abstract] The Atlantic Islands of Galicia Maritime/Terrestrial National Park hosts one of the largest breeding colonies of yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) in the world. In 2002, a new yellow-legged gull breeding ...
Climate, catchment runoff and limnological drivers of carbon and oxygen isotope composition of diatom frustules from the central Andean Altiplano during the Lateglacial and Early Holocene
(Elsevier, 2013)
Diatom-based carbon and oxygen isotope analyses (δ13Cdiatom and δ18Odiatom) were performed on diatom-rich laminated sediments of Lake Chungará (Andean Altiplano, northern Chile) deposited during the Lateglacial and Early ...
Potential Impact of Climate Change on Suspended Sediment Yield in NW Spain: A Case Study on the Corbeira Catchment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)
[Abstract] Soil losses and the subsequent sediment delivery constitute significant environmental threats. Climate change is likely to have an impact on the availability of water and therefore on sediment yield in catchments. ...
Impact of the historical introduction of exotic fishes on the chironomid community of Lake Azul (Azores Islands)
(Elsevier, 2017)
Little is known about the effect of top predator introduction in historically fishless communities, especially
on remote islands. This issue is important because it might strongly affect climate reconstructions derived
from ...
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins
(MDPI, 2018-04-13)
[Abstract] Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). ...
Climatic and lacustrine morphometric controls of diatom paleoproductivity in a tropical Andean lake
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
The coupling of lake dynamics with catchment biogeochemistry is considered the key element
controlling primary production in mountain lakes at time scales of a few decades to millennia, yet little
is known on the impacts ...
