Simplified Marsh Response Model (SMRM): A Methodological Approach to Quantify the Evolution of Salt Marshes in a Sea-Level Rise Context
(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 ...
Temperate Kelp Forest Collapse by Fish Herbivory: A Detailed Demographic Study
(Frontiers, 2022-01-31)
[Abstract] Kelps dominate rocky shores in temperate latitudes, acting as important foundation species. Recently, kelp forests have received growing attention for their decline around the world. Climate change is one of the ...
Could the Annual Saccorhiza Polyschides Replace a Sympatric Perennial Kelp (Laminaria Ochroleuca) When It Comes to Supporting the Holdfast-Associated Fauna?
(Elsevier, 2022-10-22)
[Abstract] Kelp forests dominate temperate rocky shores worldwide but are declining globally with consequences for organisms that depend on them. In NW Iberia, the golden kelp (Laminaria ochroleuca) commonly occurs alongside ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of Glyphosate Application on Physiologically Integrated Clones of the Invasive Plant Carpobrotus edulis
(MDPI, 2022-01-12)
[Abstract] Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Here, we studied the effects of glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and ...
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 ...
Small but strong: Socioeconomic and ecological resilience of a small European fishing community affected by a submarine volcanic eruption
(Elsevier, 2022-03-28)
[Abstract] Small-scale coastal fishing communities are facing many new challenges, such as rapid ecological changes created by anthropogenic and natural events like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. This paper explores ...
Soil properties of North Iberian wet heathlands in relation to climate, management and plant community
(Springer Nature, 2022-04-05)
[Abstract]
Background and aims: Heathlands are a broad vegetation type characterized by the dominance of evergreen shrub species that thrive on nutrient-poor soils, thus sensitive to small changes in soil conditions. Here ...
Effects of Temporal Heterogeneity in Nutrient Supply on Intra- And Inter-Genet Competition of a Clonal Herb
(Elsevier, 2022-03-04)
[Abstract] Nutrients are often released heterogeneously over time (e.g., in pulses) in natural habitats. Different genotypes of the same plant species may vary in their responses to temporal nutrient heterogeneity so that ...
