Plant invasion in Cantabrian rivers: drivers and effects on plant diversity and riparian habitats
(2017-01-17)
La presente tesis aborda diferentes aspectos de la invasión por plantas alóctonas en ríos de la vertiente cantábrica del norte de España. Se determinaron qué factores, tanto de tipo ambiental como antrópico, están relacionados ...
Potential effects of Global Climate Change on survival and growth of brown trout (Salmo Trutta L.): consequences of temperature and floods on young stages.
(2017-12-05)
Global Climate Change will increase precipitations in the temperate and Northern coast of Europe during winter and spring. In riverine ecosystems, precipitations affect strongly the discharge of running waters and, thus, ...
Mejora genética de patata para compuestos bioactivos y capacidad antioxidante
(2017-04-11)
El presente trabajo se ha estructurado en tres capítulos que responden a las tres fases principales en las que puede dividirse un programa de mejora genética convencional. En el primer capítulo, se ha caracterizado y ...
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 ...
Molecular, morphological and physiological analyses of Mediophyceae diatoms in Bilbao Estuary
(2017-04-12)
La evaluación medioambiental de estuarios, ríos o lagos se puede realizar basada en las comunidades de fitoplancton. En el estuario de Bilbao se lleva a cabo un monitoreo rutinario desde el año 2000, con el objetivo de ...
River doctors: Learning from medicine to improve ecosystem managemen
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)
Effective ecosystem management requires a robust methodology to analyse, remedy and avoid ecosystem damage. Here we propose that the overall conceptual framework and approaches developed over millennia in medical science ...
Seed Carotenoid and Tocochromanol Composition of Wild Fabaceae Species Is Shaped by Phylogeny and Ecological Factors
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-24)
Carotenoids distribution and function in seeds have been very scarcely studied, notwithstanding their pivotal roles in plants that include photosynthesis and phytohormone synthesis, pigmentation, membrane stabilization and ...
On the recalcitrant use of Arnon’s method for chlorophyll determination
(New Phytologist Trust, 2017-11-28)
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 ...
Diversity of winter photoinhibitory responses: a case study in co-occurring lichens, mosses, herbs and woody plants from subalpine environments
(Wiley, 2017-02-14)
Winter evergreens living in mountainous areas have to withstand a harsh combination of high light levels and low temperatures in wintertime. In response, evergreens can activate a photoprotective process that consists of ...
