Abrupt Diatom Responses to Recent Climate and Land Use Changes in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain)
(Springer, 2022-10-03)
[Abstract] The multi-proxy study of sediment cores from Lake Isoba (43° 02′ N, 5° 18′ W; 1400 m a.s.l.) allows a detailed assessment of the past hydrological and environmental dynamics in north-western Iberia resulting ...
Potential Roles of Soil Microorganisms in Regulating the Effect of Soil Nutrient Heterogeneity on Plant Performance [Review]
(MDPI, 2022-12-03)
[Abstract] The spatially heterogeneous distribution of soil nutrients is ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems and has been shown to promote the performance of plant communities, influence species coexistence, and alter ...
The COVID-19 Restrictions and Biological Invasion: A Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Perspective on Propagule Pressure and Invasion Trajectory
(MDPI, 2022-11-09)
[Abstract] Biological invasions driven by climate change, transportation, and intercontinental trade, as well as land-use change and tourism, pose severe threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. However, ...
Influence of pH, N, P, N: P Ratio, and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon on Ulva ohnoi Growth and Biomass Quality: Potential Implications in IMTA-RAS
(MDPI, 2022-11-03)
[Abstract] Ulva ohnoi has a big potential in IMTA-RAS fish–seaweed systems. In order to design the best production strategy in these systems, the effect of the main environmental factors, such as pH, nutrient concentration ...
Changes in Management Shape the Spatial Ecology of Wild Ponies in Relation to Habitat Conservation
(Springer Link, 2022-11-23)
[Abstract] Large herbivores are key regulators of open habitats across the world. Free roaming ponies have a prominent ecological role in many Atlantic landscapes, where different habitats with conservation interest are ...
Implications of Taxonomic Misidentification for Future Invasion Predictions: Evidence From One of the Most Harmful Invasive Marine Algae
(Elsevier, 2023-05-03)
[Abstract] Invasive species have been a focus of concern in recent decades, becoming more problematic due to the cumulative impacts of climate change. Understanding the interactions among stress factors is essential to ...
The Timing of the Deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian Mountains: Insights From the Stratigraphic Analysis of a Lake Sequence in Serra Da Estrela (Portugal)
(Wiley, 2023-02-07)
[Abstract] Understanding the environmental response to the last glacial termination in regions located in transitional climate zones such as the Atlantic Iberian mountains is crucial to estimate potential changes in regions ...
Updating the National Baseline of Non-Indigenous Species in Spanish Marine Waters
(MDPI, 2023-05-05)
[Abstract] The introduction of new non-indigenous species (NIS) in Spanish marine waters is addressed under Descriptor 2 of the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive. National baseline inventories of NIS ...
A Simple and Inexpensive Method to Gain Diatom Absolute Abundances from Permanent Mounts in Hydrobiological and Paleoecological Research
(MDPI, 2023-05-13)
[Abstract] Here, we describe and discuss a method based on microscopical field of view (FOV) area to estimate diatom absolute abundances (densities or concentrations), and we statistically verify its reliability, also ...
Coralline Algae in a Changing Mediterranean Sea: How Can We Predict Their Future, if We Do Not Know Their Present?
(Frontiers, 2019-11-29)
[Abstract] In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable to long-term climate change. ...
