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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Cyclodextrin polymers as passive sampling materials for lipophilic marine toxins in Prorocentrum lima cultures and a Dinophysis sacculus bloom in the NW Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
Cyclodextrins, cyclic oligomers that form a conical structure with an internal cavity, are proposed as new and sustainable materials for passive sampling of lipophilic marine toxins. Two applicability ...
Environmental controls on carbon sequestration, sediment accretion, and elevation change in the Ebro River Delta: Implications for wetland restoration
(Elsevier, 2019-03-26)
Delta wetlands are increasingly recognized as important sinks for ‘blue carbon,’ although this and other ecosystem services that deltas provide are threatened by human activities. We investigated factors ...
Pristine vs. human-altered Ebro Delta habitats display contrasting resilience to RSLR
(Elsevier, 2018-11-23)
River deltas are ecologically and economically valuable coastal ecosystems but low elevations make them extremely sensitive to relative sea level rise (RSLR), i.e. the combined effects of sea level rise ...
Assessment of marine benthic diatom communities: insights from a combined morphological–metabarcoding approach in Mediterranean shallow coastal waters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-18)
We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of light microscope (LM)-based identifications and DNA metabarcoding, based on a 312-bp rbcL marker, for examining benthic diatom communities from ...
DNA metabarcoding reveals differences in distribution patterns and ecological preferences among genetic variants within some key freshwater diatom species
(Elsevier, 2021-07-20)
Our study evaluates differences in the distribution and ecology of genetic variants within several ecologically important diatom species that are also key for Water Framework Directive monitoring of ...
