Impacts of seasonality, drought, nitrogen fertilization, and litter on soil fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a Mediterranean forest
(Elsevier, 2023-09-27)
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play critical roles in ecosystems at various scales, influencing above- and below-ground interactions and contributing to the atmospheric environment. ...
A hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based coating inhibits ethylene-dependent quality changes and reduces superficial scald incidence and blue mould severity during postharvest handling of two apple varieties
(Elsevier, 2023-10-12)
The search of new alternatives to substitute postharvest treatments based on synthetic chemicals has gained attention on recent years due to social pressure and stricter legislative policies. Consequently, ...
New insights into early biochemical prediction of internal browning disorder in 'Conference' pears
(Elsevier, 2023-09-28)
This study aimed to identify markers in pear capable of predicting the development of internal browning disorder (IBD) at harvest or during early storage. ´Conference´ pears were harvested from different ...
The influence of nitrate pollution on elemental and isotopic composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic bryophytes
(Elsevier, 2023-09-09)
Bryophytes can play an important role in key ecosystem processes and represent potential candidates as bioindicators for environmental monitoring programmes. Nitrate (NO3−) pollution poses a growing ...
