Identifying Green Infrastructure as a Basis for an Incentive Mechanism at the Municipality Level in Biscay (Basque Country)
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
The contributions of green infrastructure (GI) to human well-being have been widely recognised; however, pathways for its systematic implementation are missing. Local governments can play a crucial role in the conservation ...
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 ...
Analysing the Synergies and Trade-Offs between Ecosystem Services to Reorient Land Use Planning in Metropolitan Bilbao (Northern Spain)
(MDPI, 2018-11-23)
In the last decades, some European cities have undergone important changes in search of a more sustainable development. This is the case for the city of Bilbao (Bizkaia, Basque Country), where a Greenbelt has been maintained ...
When the sun never sets: daily changes in pigment composition in three subarctic woody plants during the summer solstice
(Springer, 2018-02-02)
Composition and content of photosynthetic pigments is finely tuned by plants according to a subtle equilibrium between the absorbed and used energy by the photosynthetic apparatus. Subarctic and Arctic plants are subjected ...
Data on the Amphidinium Carterae Dn241EHU Isolation and Morphological and Molecular Characterization
(Elsevier, 2018-06-21)
We present the data corresponding to the isolation and morphological and molecular characterization of a strain of Amphidinium carterae, isolated in Mallorca Island waters and now deposited in the microalgae culture ...
Biodegradable Polycarbonate Iongels for Electrophysiology Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-09)
In recent years, gels based on ionic liquids incorporated into polymer matrices, namely iongels, have emerged as long-term contact media for cutaneous electrophysiology. Iongels possess high ionic conductivity and negligible ...
Variation in the Climate Sensitivity Dependent on Neighbourhood Composition in a Secondary Mixed Forest
(MDPI, 2018-01-20)
Understanding the vulnerability of individual trees to climate requires moving from population to individual level. This study evaluates individual tree response in a mixed forest by assessing how size and neighbourhood ...
Tracking the long-term dynamics of plant diversity in Northeast Spain with a network of volunteers and rangers
(Springer, 2018-05-01)
Scientific projects can greatly benefit from the participation of non-professionals in identifying environmental changes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In 2010, we launched a long-term project in Northeast ...
