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, ...
Inhomogeneity detection in phytoplankton time series using multivariate analyses
(Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2020-09)
Phytoplankton communities have long been used as water quality indicators within environmental policies. This has fostered the development of national and international phytoplankton monitoring programs, but these networks ...
Assessment of a Sheltered Euhaline Area of the Southeastern Bay of Biscay to Sustain Bivalve Production in Terms of Phytoplankton Community Composition
(Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2021-01)
This study describes the phytoplankton community in sheltered euhaline waters of the Basque coast (southeastern Bay of Biscay). Phytoplankton composition, cell size, abundance, biomass and the presence of potentially toxic ...
Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams
(Wiley, 2022-11)
Amphibians are declining worldwide due to a combination of stressors such as climate change, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution and emergent diseases. Although their losses are likely to have important ecological ...
A common fungicide impairs stream ecosystem functioning through effects on aquatic hyphomycetes and detritivorous caddisflies
(Academic Press-Elsevier, 2020-06-01)
Fungicides can reach streams through runoff or adhered to leaf litter, and have the potential to adversely affect processes such as litter decomposition and associated communities. This study investigated the effects of ...
Key Elements of the White-Backed Woodpecker’s (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) Habitat in Its European South-Western Limits
(MDPI, 2020-07-30)
In the last decade, the population of the white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) (WBW) in Navarre has been reduced mainly due to the loss of suitable habitat for this species from intensive forest management, ...
Elemental imaging approach to assess the ability of subaerial biofilms growing on constructions located in tropical climates as potential biomonitors of atmospheric heavy metals pollution
(Elsevier, 2022-10-06)
Over the last decades, the concern about air pollution has increased significantly, especially in urban areas. Active sampling of air pollutants requires specific instrumentation not always available in all the laboratories. ...
Global change and stream ecosystem functioning: repercussions on the leaf litter decomposition
(2017-07-21)
El crecimiento de la población humana y el aumento en el consumo de recursos observado en las recientes décadas está ocasionando cambios medioambientales a una velocidad sin precedentes y cuyas repercusiones alcanzan una ...
Decades of biomass loss in the shallow rocky subtidal vegetation of the south-eastern Bay of Biscay
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] This study seeks to assess changes over time in the structure of subtidal macroalgal assemblages across depth in the south-eastern Bay of Biscay. The results reveal a large-scale decline in total macroalgal biomass ...
