Volatile Organic Compounds in the Azteca/Cecropia Ant-Plant Symbiosis and the Role of Black Fungi
(MDPI, 2021-10-06)
Black fungi of the order Chaetothyriales are grown by many tropical plant-mutualistic ants as small so-called “patches” in their nests, which are located inside hollow structures provided by the host ...
Is Technical Efficiency Affected by Farmers’ Preference for Mitigation and Adaptation Actions against Climate Change? A Case Study in Northwest Mexico
(MDPI, 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 ...
Effect of different fertilization strategies on nitrogen balance in an outdoor potted crop of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC.) Norl. ‘Purple Red’ under Mediterranean climate conditions
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2013-07-15)
Fertilization management and meteorological conditions can affect leachate composition and the balance of nitrogen
(N) added during the cultivation of ornamentals. The main objectives of this study ...
Flow Regime and Nutrient-Loading Trends from the Largest South European Watersheds: Implications for the Productivity of Mediterranean and Black Sea’s Coastal Areas
(MDPI, 2018-12-20)
In the last century, large watersheds in Southern Europe have been impacted by a combination of anthropogenic and climatic pressures, which have rapidly evolved to change the ecological status of ...
A comparison of isolation methods for black fungi degrading aromatic toxins
(Springer Verlag, 2019-09-29)
The prevalence of black fungi in the order Chaetothyriales has often been underestimated due to the difficulty of their isolation. In this study, three methods which are often used to isolate black fungi ...
The Influence of Climate and Land-Cover Scenarios on Dam Management Strategies in a High Water Pressure Catchment in Northeast Spain
(MDPI, 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 ...
Pathogenic Yet Environmentally Friendly? Black Fungal Candidates for Bioremediation of Pollutants
(Taylor and Francis, 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 ...
Agent-Based Life Cycle Assessment enables joint economic-environmental analysis of policy to support agricultural biomass for biofuels
(Elsevier, 2024-01-20)
Production of agricultural biofuels is expected to rise due to increasing climate change mitigation ambitions. Policy interventions promoting targeted bioenergy solutions can be motivated by the large ...
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation of Ammonia from Pig Slurry at Laboratory and Pilot-Plant Scale
(MDPI, 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
(Wiley, 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 ...
