Interactive effects of discharge reduction and fine sediments on stream biofilm metabolism
(James N. McNair, 2021)
Discharge reduction, as caused by water diversion for hydropower, and fine sediments deposition, are prevalent stressors that may affect multiple ecosystem functions in streams. Periphytic biofilms play a key role in stream ...
Leaf Traits Drive Plant Diversity Effects On Litter Decomposition And FPOM Production In Streams
(Public Library Science, 2018-05-29)
Biodiversity loss in riparian forests has the potential to alter rates of leaf litter decomposition in stream ecosystems. However, studies have reported the full range of positive, negative and no effects of plant diversity ...
Riparian plant litter quality increases with latitude
(Nature Publishing, 2017-09-05)
Plant litter represents a major basal resource in streams, where its decomposition is partly regulated by litter traits. Litter-trait variation may determine the latitudinal gradient in decomposition in streams, which is ...
Environmental justice and outdoor recreation opportunities: A spatially explicit assessment in Oslo metropolitan area, Norway
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
Abstract
Urban and peri-urban green space provides multiple recreation opportunities with important benefits for physical and psychological well-being, but access to these benefits is often unequally distributed. Various ...
Species-specific song responses emerge as a by-product of tuning to the local dialect.
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Oscine birds preferentially respond to certain sounds over others from an early age, which focuses subsequent learning onto sexually relevant songs.1-3 Songs vary both across species and, due to cultural evolution, among ...
The drawdown phase of dam decommissioning is a hot moment of gaseous carbon emissions from a temperate reservoir
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Dam decommissioning (DD) is a viable management option for thousands of ageing dams. Reservoirs are large carbon sinks, and reservoir drawdown results in important carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. We studied ...
Co-Creation of Knowledge for Ecosystem Services Approach to Spatial Planning in the Basque Country
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
Sustainable development has to be based on scientific knowledge, social agreements, and political decisions. This study aimed to analyse the implementation of the ecosystem services approach (ESA) in the spatial planning ...
Floristic Composition Mediates Change in Forage Nutritive Quality of Atlantic Mountain Grasslands after Experimental Grazing Exclusion
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Simultaneous reduction of biodiversity and forage nutritive value after grazing abandonment represents a critical agroecological problem observed in temperate mountain grasslands. However, how both processes affect each ...
Zero-valent iron nanoparticles and organic amendment assisted rhizoremediation of mixed contaminated soil using Brassica napus
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Soil is one of our most important natural resources. Regrettably, the expansion of human activities has resulted in the degradation of the soil resource due to contamination with a myriad of organic and inorganic compounds. ...
Remediation of Organically Contaminated Soil Through the Combination of Assisted Phytoremediation and Bioaugmentation
(MDPI, 2019-11)
Here, we aimed to bioremediate organically contaminated soil with Brassica napus and a bacterial consortium. The bioaugmentation consortium consisted of four endophyte strains that showed plant growth-promoting traits ...
