Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Species Composition and Plant Traits of South Atlantic European Coastal Dunes and Other Comparative Data
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
The data reported in this article relates to the research article entitled “Changes in plant diversity patterns along dune zonation in south Atlantic European coasts” (Torca et al., 2019) [1]. Data about traits of species ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Linking Biophysical and Economic Assessments of Ecosystem Services for a Social-Ecological Approach to Conservation Planning: Application in a Biosphere Reserve (Biscay, Spain)
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
The search for a balance between nature conservation and sustainable development remains a scientific and spatial planning challenge. In social-ecological systems based on traditional rural activities and associated with ...
Changes in environmental CO2 concentration can modify Rhizobium-soybean specificity and condition plant fitness and productivity
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
(EN) Over the past 10 years, it has been demonstrated in the literature that legume responses to elevated [CO2], whether positive, negative, or null, are in part dependent on the Rhizobium species and genotypes that establish ...
