Impact of a reservoir system on benthic macroinvertebrate and diatom communities of a large Mediterranean river (lower Ebro river, Catalonia, Spain)
(Limnetica, 2018)This study included the main hydrogeomorphic categories of the lower Ebro River and aimed to detect spatial and temporal patterns of macroinvertebrates and diatoms communities inhabiting downstream a ... -
Influence of chemical composition on biochemical methane potential of fruit and vegetable waste
(Waste Management, 2017-05-26)This study investigates the influence of chemical composition on the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of twelve different batches of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) with different compositions collected ... -
Is Technical Efficiency Affected by Farmers’ Preference for Mitigation and Adaptation Actions against Climate Change? A Case Study in Northwest Mexico
(Sustainability, 2019-06-14)Climate change has adverse effects on agriculture, decreasing crop quality and productivity. This makes it necessary to implement adaptation and mitigation strategies that contribute to the maintenance ... -
LC‐IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method
(Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2020-05-31)Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is a lively field of research, and data and models are continuously improved in terms of impact pathways covered, reliability, and spatial detail. However, many of ... -
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation of Ammonia from Pig Slurry at Laboratory and Pilot-Plant Scale
(Processes, 2023-10-03)Livestock manure has a high ammonium content that can limit its direct application on soil as a fertiliser in nitrate-vulnerable zones. Treatment technologies that are able to extract ammonium from ... -
Mediterranean springs: Keystone ecosystems and biodiversity refugia threatened by global change
(Global Change Biology, 2023-11-08)Mediterranean spring ecosystems are unique habitats at the interface between surface water and groundwater. These ecosystems support a remarkable array of biodiversity and provide important ecological ... -
Pathogenic Yet Environmentally Friendly? Black Fungal Candidates for Bioremediation of Pollutants
(Geomicrobiology Journal, 2016-02-25)A collection of 163 strains of black yeast-like fungi from the CBS Fungal Biodiversity Center (Utrecht, The Netherlands), has been screened for the ability to grow on hexadecane, toluene and ... -
Quan les fonts s’assequen. Situació dramàtica de les fonts de la Serralada Litoral davant la crisi climàtica
(L'Atzavara, 2023)Deu anys després de l’inici del Projecte Fonts s’han visitat 31 fonts de la Serralada Litoral ja estudiades fa una dècada per tal de comparar els seus cabals antics amb els actuals. A totes les 31 fonts ... -
Solar drying in the vineyard: a sustainable technology for the recovery of nutrients from winery organic waste
(Water Science and Technology, 2020-07-09)The present study describes a pilot-scale experimental validation of a forced-convection greenhouse solar dryer, combined with a biofilter, for controlled atmospheric emissions. This set-up was applied ... -
Technological reliability of pollutant removal in different seasons in one-stage constructed wetland system with horizontal flow operating in the moderate climate
(Separation and Purification Technology, 2019-12-17)The aim of this work was to determine the technological reliability of pollutions removal in different seasons in one-stage constructed wetland system with horizontal flow operating in the conditions ... -
The combined use of chemical and biochemical markers in Rutilus rutilus to assess the effect of dredging in the lower course of the Ebro River
(Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2018-02-26)The lower course of the Ebro River is polluted with high concentrations of organochlorine compounds dumped by a chloro-alkali plant during the last century. A remediation plan, including building of a ... -
The importance of including soil carbon changes, ecotoxicity and biodiversity impacts in environmental life cycle assessments of organic and conventional milk in Western Europe
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019-01-04)Estimates of soil carbon changes, biodiversity and ecotoxicity have often been missing from life cycle assessment based studies of organic dairy products, despite evidence that the impacts of organic ... -
The Influence of Climate and Land-Cover Scenarios on Dam Management Strategies in a High Water Pressure Catchment in Northeast Spain
(Water, 2018-11-16)This paper evaluates the response of streamflow in a Mediterranean medium-scaled basin under land-use and climate change scenarios and its plausible implication on the management of Boadella–Darnius ... -
The potential of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) of natural samples as a source of primary taxonomic information for reference libraries of diatom barcodes
(Fottea, 2018-02-27)Diatoms are used routinely to assess pollution level in rivers and lakes. Current methods are based on identification by light microscopy, which is laborious. An alternative is to identify species based ... -
