Global pressures, specific responses: effects of nutrient enrichment in streams from different biomes
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2013-01-09)
We assessed the effects of nutrient enrichment on three stream ecosystems running through distinct biomes (Mediterranean, Pampean and Andean). We increased the concentrations of N and P in the stream water 1.6–4-fold ...
Assessment of phytostabilization of Pb/Zn mine soils with organic amendments and a native metallicolous ecotype of Festuca Rubra l.: implications for amendment selection and recovery of soil health
(2013-09-24)
La contaminación del suelo es una de las principales amenazas para los ecosistemas y la salud humana. Actualmente, desde un punto de vista tanto económico como ambiental, la fitoestabilización es la mejor tecnología para ...
Respuesta a la sequía de Pinus radiata D. Don y su implicación en los procesos de tolerancia
(2013-10-11)
[ES] En este estudio se evaluaron cinco ecotipos de Pinus radiata D. Don y un híbrido de especie (O4, Pinus radiata x Pinus attenuata) con el fin de caracterizar fisiológicamente su respuesta al estrés hídrico y determinar ...
Use of native species to improve carbon sequestration and contribute towards solving the environmental problems of the timberlands in Biscay, northern Spain.
(Elsevier, 2013-03-15)
The rapid transformation of natural forest areas into fast-growing exotic species plantations, where the main objective is timber and pulp production, has led to a neglect of other services forests provide in many parts ...
Can understorey native woodland plant species regenerate under exotic pine plantations using natural succession?
(Elsevier, 2013-08-26)
Forestry industry in many European countries has begun to focus on sustainable forest management practices, and consequently, a greater emphasis is now being placed on the restoration and enhancement of native woodlands ...
Growth and stable isotope signals associated with drought‐related mortality in saplings of two coexisting pine species
(Springer, 2013-06-25)
Drought-induced events of massive tree mortality appear to be increasing worldwide. Species-specific vulnerability to drought mortality may alter patterns of species diversity and affect future forest composition. We have ...
Varying climate sensitivity at the drought-linked distribution edge of P. sylvestris and P. nigra.
(Elsevier, 2013-08-23)
Rear edge populations, those residing at the low-latitude margins of species ranges, represent a critical genetic diversity for species conservation, management, and evolutionary potential. The present study analyses ...
