Pinna nobilis in suboptimal environments are more tolerant to disease but more vulnerable to severe weather phenomena
(Elsevier, 2020-11-30)
We examined a disease outbreak of the fan mussel, Pinna nobilis (L.), in the Alfacs Bay (South Ebro Delta, Spain) during a period of two years in three zones exposed to a summer salinity gradient resulting ...
Trophic role and predatory interactions between the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and native species in open waters of the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2024-01-14)
The Ebro Delta has become a major blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fishery area in the NW Mediterranean, but there is limited information on factors controlling the abundance of populations in open waters, ...
Disentangling drivers of soil organic carbon storage in deltaic rice paddies from the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2023-04-17)
Paddy farming can potentially sequester carbon. However, agricultural practices may alter the stability of the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and thereby increase carbon mobilization in the topsoil ...
Using plant, microbe, and soil fauna traits to improve the predictive power of biogeochemical models
(Wiley, 2018-09-11)
Process‐based models describing biogeochemical cycling are crucial tools to understanding long‐term nutrient dynamics, especially in the context of perturbations, such as climate and land‐use change. ...
Non-perennial segments in river networks
(Springer Nature, 2023-11-23)
Non-perennial river segments — those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry — occur in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) segments. However, ...
Toxic marine microalgae and noxious blooms in the Mediterranean Sea: A contribution to the Global HAB Status Report
(Elsevier, 2020-06-12)
We review the spatial distribution of toxic marine microalgal species and the impacts of all types of harmful algal events (Harmful Algal Blooms, HABs) in the Mediterranean Sea (MS), including the Black ...
Not all nudibranchs are carnivorous: trophic ecology of Polycerella emertoni in the Ebro Delta
(Inter Research, 2020-07-09)
Nudibranchs have always been regarded as a group of specialized predators. In Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, Spain), the cryptic nudibranch Polycerella emertoni is found associated with the pseudo-indigenous ...
Evaluating adaptation options to sea level rise and benefits to agriculture: The Ebro Delta showcase
(Elsevier, 2021-09-28)
Sea level rise (SLR) is threatening low-lying coastal areas such as river deltas. The Ebro river Delta (Spain) is representative of coastal systems particularly vulnerable to SLR due to significant ...
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa as potential indicators of ciguatera risk in the Balearic Islands
(Elsevier, 2020-10-22)
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are genera of toxic dinoflagellates which were mainly considered as endemic to marine intertropical areas, and that are well known as producers of ciguatoxins (CTXs) and ...
Paleolimnological responses of Ecuadorian páramo lakes to local and regional stressors over the last two millennia
(Springer Nature, 2023-01-11)
Increasing surface air temperatures and human influences (e.g., agriculture, livestock grazing, tourism) are altering lacustrine ecosystems in the South American Andean páramo, and these influences are ...
