Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer

Donis, Daphne; Leira, Manel; García, David; Carballeira, Rafael (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)

[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ...

Simplified Marsh Response Model (SMRM): A Methodological Approach to Quantify the Evolution of Salt Marshes in a Sea-Level Rise Context

Inácio, Miguel; Pombo de Freitas, Maria da Conceição; Graça Cunha, Ana; Antunes, C.; Leira, Manel; Lopes, Vera; Andrade, C.; Silva, Tiago Adrião (MDPI, 2022-07-15)

[Abstract] Salt marshes are highly valued coastal environments for different services: coastline protection, biodiversity, and blue carbon. They are vulnerable to climate changes, particularly to sea-level rise. For this ...

Abrupt Diatom Responses to Recent Climate and Land Use Changes in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain)

Gardoki, Jon; Morellón, Mario; Leira, Manel; Ezquerra, Francisco Javier; Remondo, Juan; Tinner, Willy; Canales, María Luisa; van der Horst, Anouk; Morales-Molino, César (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 ...

The Timing of the Deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian Mountains: Insights From the Stratigraphic Analysis of a Lake Sequence in Serra Da Estrela (Portugal)

Hernández, Armand; Sáez, Alberto; Santos, Ricardo N.; Rodrigues, Teresa; Martín-Puertas, Celia; Gil-Romera, Graciela; Abbott, Mark; Carballeira, Rafael; Costa, Pedro; Giralt, Santiago; Gomes, Sandra D.; Griffore, Melissa; Ibáñez-Insa, Jordi; Leira, Manel; Moreno, João; Naughton, Filipa; Oliveira, Dulce; Raposeiro, Pedro M.; Trigo, Ricardo M.; Vieira, Gonçalo; Ramos, Alexandre M. (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 ...

A Simple and Inexpensive Method to Gain Diatom Absolute Abundances from Permanent Mounts in Hydrobiological and Paleoecological Research

Cantonati, Marco; Cid, María; Rossi, Floriana; Leira, Manel (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 ...
