Foliar heavy metals and stable isotope (delta C-13, delta N-15) profiles as reliable urban pollution biomonitoring tools
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Anthropogenic heavy metal pollution is an important health issue in urban areas, and therefore rapid and inexpensive monitoring in time and space is desirable. This study aimed (i) to assess the suitability of Tilia cordata ...
Effects Of Human-Driven Water Stress on River Ecosystems: a Meta-Analysis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-07-30)
Human appropriation of water resources may induce water stress in freshwater ecosystems when ecosystem needs are not met. Intensive abstraction and regulation cause river ecosystems to shift towards non-natural flow regimes, ...

[EN] The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a great global impact on human health, the life of people, and economies all over the world. However, in general, COVID-19s effect on air quality has been positive due to the ...
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 ...

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 ...
Photosynthetic responses of trees in high-elevation forests: comparing evergreen species along an elevation gradient in the Central Andes
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Plant growth at extremely high elevations is constrained by high daily thermal amplitude, strong solar radiation and water scarcity. These conditions are particularly harsh in the tropics, where the highest elevation ...
Side-Effects of Domestication: Cultivated Legume Seeds Contain Similar Tocopherols and Fatty Acids but Less Carotenoids than Their Wild Counterparts
(Biomed Central, 2014-12-20)
BACKGROUND: Lipophilic antioxidants play dual key roles in edible seeds (i) as preservatives of cell integrity and seed viability by preventing the oxidation of fats, and (ii) as essential nutrients for human and animal ...
Modified atmosphere packaging and dark/light refrigerated storage in green leafy vegetables have impact on nutritional value
(Springer, 2019-01-04)
The consumption of zeaxanthin (Z) through a vegetable-rich diet is recommended to reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Due to Z’s intrinsic dynamic character that results from its participation in ...
