Immediate and Legacy Effects of Urban Pollution on River Ecosystem Functioning: a Mesocosm Experiment
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Effluents from urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) consist of complex mixtures of substances that can affect processes in the receiving ecosystems. Some of these substances (toxic contaminants) stress biological ...
Understanding the effects of predictability, duration, and spatial pattern of drying on benthic invertebrate assemblages in two contrasting intermittent streams
(Public Library Science, 2018-03-28)
In the present study, we examined the effects of different drying conditions on the composition, structure and function of benthic invertebrate assemblages. We approached this objective by comparing invertebrate assemblages ...
Organic Matter Decomposition and Ecosystem Metabolism as Tools to Assess the Functional Integrity of Streams and Rivers–A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2020-12-15)
Streams and rivers provide important services to humans, and therefore, their ecological integrity should be a societal goal. Although ecological integrity encompasses structural and functional integrity, stream bioassessment ...
Feedstock Choice, Pyrolysis Temperature and Type Influence Biochar Characteristics: a Comprehensive Meta-Data Analysis Review
(Springer, 2020-12)
Various studies have established that feedstock choice, pyrolysis temperature, and pyrolysis type influence final biochar physicochemical characteristics. However, overarching analyses of pre-biochar creation choices and ...
Nitrogen Assimilation in the Highly Salt- and Boron-Tolerant Ecotype Zea mays L. Amylacea
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
The Lluta Valley in Northern Chile is an important agricultural area affected by both salinity and boron (B) toxicity. <i>Zea mays</i> L. amylacea, an ecotype arisen because of the seed selection practiced in this valley, ...
Biochar reduces the efficiency of nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) mitigating N2O emissions
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-20)
Among strategies suggested to decrease agricultural soil N2O losses, the use of nitrification inhibitors such as DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) has been proposed. However, the efficiency of DMPP might be affected ...

Los hongos patógenos Diplodia pinea y Fusarium circinatum son agentes causantes de enfermedades de chancro en pinos y en diversas ocasiones presentan una sintomatología y colonización de hospedadores con varios aspectos ...
Identifying Green Infrastructure as a Basis for an Incentive Mechanism at the Municipality Level in Biscay (Basque Country)
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
The contributions of green infrastructure (GI) to human well-being have been widely recognised; however, pathways for its systematic implementation are missing. Local governments can play a crucial role in the conservation ...
Unraveling the Effect of Singlet Oxygen on Metal-O2 Batteries: Strategies Toward Deactivation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-22)
Aprotic metal-O(2)batteries have attracted the interest of the research community due to their high theoretical energy density that target them as potential energy storage systems for automotive applications. At present, ...
