Opening Pandora's box: cause and impact of errors on plant pigment studies
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-03-12)
Climate and Human Pressure Constraints Co-Explain Regional Plant Invasion at Different Spatial Scales
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-14)
Alien species invasion represents a global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. Explaining invasion patterns in terms of environmental constraints will help us to assess invasion risks and plan control strategies. We aim ...
Impaired cell growth under ammonium stress explained by modeling the energy cost of vacuole expansion in tomato leaves
(Wiley, 2022-11)
Ammonium (NH4+)-based fertilization efficiently mitigates the adverse effects of nitrogen fertilization on the environment. However, high concentrations of soil NH4+ provoke growth inhibition, partly caused by the reduction ...
Habitat Complexity in Aquatic Microcosms Affects Processes Driven by Detritivores
(Public Library Science, 2016-11-01)
Habitat complexity can influence predation rates (e.g. by providing refuge) but other ecosystem processes and species interactions might also be modulated by the properties of habitat structure. Here, we focussed on how ...
Evidences towards deciphering the mode of action of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors in soil and pure cultures of Nitrosomonas europaea
(Springer, 2022)
Background: Agriculture relies on the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which has led to the transformation of agricultural soils into high-nitrifying environments. Nevertheless, ...
Rapid colour changes in Euglena sanguinea (Euglenophyceae) caused by internal lipid globule migration
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-23)
The accumulation of red pigments under chronic stress is a response observed in most
groups of oxygenic photoautotrophs. It is thought that the red pigments in the cell shield
the chlorophyll located underneath from the ...
Testing Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent Effects on Microbial and Detritivore Performance: a Combined Field and Laboratory Experiment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
The amount of pollutants and nutrients entering rivers via point sources is increasing along with human population and activity. Although wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) greatly reduce pollutant loads into the environment, ...
Different Sets of Traits Explain Abundance and Distribution Patterns of European Plants at Different Spatial Scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-11)
Aim Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by ...
The Temperate Deciduous Forests of the Northern Hemisphere. A review
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2022)
Temperate Deciduous Forests occur almost exclusively in the northern hemisphere and thrive under temperate climate with cold winter and warm-humid summer. They covered a continuous belt during most of the Tertiary across ...
Activation of violaxanthin cycle in darkness is a common response to different abiotic stresses : a case study in Pelvetia canaliculata
(BioMed Central, 2011-12-26)
Background: In the violaxanthin (V) cycle, V is de-epoxidized to zeaxanthin (Z) when strong light or light combined with other stressors lead to an overexcitation of photosystems. However, plants can also suffer stress in ...
