Rooting big and deep rapidly: the ecological roots of pine species distribution in southern Europe
(Trees - Structure and Function, 2018-10-09) Fructicultura
Root properties can influence plant drought resistance, and consequently plant species distribution. Root structure strongly varies across biomes partly as a result of phylogeny. However, whether the ...
The main drivers of methane emissions differ in the growing and flooded fallow seasons in Mediterranean rice fields
(Plant and Soil, 2021-01-09) Aigües Marines i Continentals; Cultius Extensius Sostenibles; Fructicultura; Gestió Integral de Residus Orgànics
Purpose
To assess 1) the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions –GHG- and global warming potential (methane – CH4- and nitrous oxide) from rice fields in the growing and fallow seasons, and 2) the ...
Combining an effect-based methodology with chemical analysis for antibiotics determination in wastewater and receiving freshwater and marine environment
(Environmental Pollution, 2020-12-15) Aigües Marines i Continentals
Two different methodologies were combined to evaluate the risks that antibiotics can pose in the environment; i) an effect-based methodology based on microbial growth inhibition and ii) an analytical ...
Detection of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa single cells using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a sandwich hybridization assay
(Journal of Applied Phycology, 2021-04-10) Aigües Marines i Continentals; Aqüicultura
Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce several bioactive compounds including the potent neurotoxic ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are able to accumulate in fish and through ...
Biosensors Based on Isothermal DNA Amplification for Bacterial Detection in Food Safety and Environmental Monitoring
(Sensors, 2021-01-16) Aigües Marines i Continentals
The easy and rapid spread of bacterial contamination and the risk it poses to human health makes evident the need for analytical methods alternative to conventional time-consuming laboratory-based ...
Capacity of the potentially toxic diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia mannii and Pseudo-nitzschia hasleana to tolerate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021-03-12) Aigües Marines i Continentals; Aqüicultura
This study investigates the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on two potentially toxic Pseudo-nitzschia hasleana and P. mannii, isolated from a PAH contaminated marine environment. Both ...
Metadata standards and practical guidelines for specimen and DNA curation when building barcode reference libraries for aquatic life
(Metabarcoding and Metagenomics (MBMG), 2021-02-26) Aigües Marines i Continentals
DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode ...
Stable isotope analyses reveal major nutritional deficiencies in captive vs. field juvenile individuals of Pinna nobilis
(Marine Environmental Research, 2021-03-16) Aigües Marines i Continentals
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. is critically endangered by the spread of a haplosporidan parasite. Stable isotopes have been shown an association with dietary assimilation, trophic level, and body ...
Short-Term Response of Chlorophyll a Concentration Due to Intense Wind and Freshwater Peak Episodes in Estuaries: The Case of Fangar Bay (Ebro Delta)
(Water, 2021-03-05) Aigües Marines i Continentals
Estuaries and coastal bays are areas of large spatio-temporal variability in physical and biological variables due to environmental factors such as local wind, light availability, freshwater inputs or ...
Use of anionic polymer-coated magnetic beads to pre-concentrate Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 from seawater: Application to a UV disinfection treatment
(Aquaculture, 2021-02-02) Aigües Marines i Continentals; Aqüicultura
Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) represents a serious threat to shellfish aquaculture worldwide. To minimise its impact, early warning systems able to detect the virus in seawater prior to infection of ...
