[eng] Plants are not isolated organisms; instead, they constantly interact with the microorganisms in their environment, forming a holobiont that consists of the plants themselves and their entire microbiome. This holobiont ...
[spa] El suelo, un recurso no renovable y esencial para el desarrollo de la vida, se ve afectado por los sistemas de producción de cultivos que provocan su degradación. El biocarbón, un producto rico en carbono obtenido ...
The alarming rate of marine biodiversity loss calls for new strategies of understanding and accounting for human-nature relationships. Anthropogenic impacts are the main drivers of changes in coastal and marine systems ...
The study of past ecological changes is highly useful for understanding how ecosystems have responded to climate and human-induced disturbances. It is thus relevant in the context of climate change, as it allows several ...
[eng] The principal challenge of conserving marine megaherbivores is that they typically range over extensive areas that far exceed the spatial scales of conventional management, transcending protected areas, and often ...
[eng] The exploration of marine environments, especially the deep sea, has been an ongoing effort. With the majority of Earth’s surface covered by oceans, the invention of SCUBA and subsequent deep-sea expeditions has ...
La basura marina está aumentando exponencialmente en los mares y océanos de todo el mundo. En los últimos años, se han reportado y documentado sus amenazas a la fauna marina y a los ecosistemas marinos en general. Por estas ...
[eng] The current context of global change is causing many threats to biodiversity worldwide, and the profound and rapid transformations of the environment have led to a severe insect decline. Because of their sensitivity ...
Dental wear is a natural, complex, physiological process of gradual enamel tissue loss that occurs during an individual’s life span and provides information about dietary habits, food processing techniques and cultural ...
[cat] Aquesta tesi doctoral sorgeix de l'empremta deixada pel grup de recerca FEHM, liderat pel Dr. Prat, amb més de quatre dècades d'activitat dedicada a la investigació en ecologia aquàtica des de la Facultat de Biologia ...
Headwater streams essentially link the terrestrial and the aquatic carbon cycle because they transport terrestrial organic and inorganic carbon downstream towards the oceans. However, most of these inputs are processed ...
Este estudio se enmarca dentro del trabajo de la comunidad científica para conocer y tener poder de predicción sobre el ciclo del carbono. Esta tesis se centra en el intercambio de dióxido de carbono (CO2) entre la atmósfera ...
In the discussions on climate change, the transition to renewable energy is seen as one of the biggest and most urgent steps the world can take to avoid ecological collapse. At the same time, the decentralized and abundant ...
Varved lake sediments also known as annually laminated sediments, are natural paleoenvironmental archives containing high-resolution proxy data and precise chronologies. They are one of the few natural archives that can ...
[eng] The main driving force behind crop research is to ensure food security. Climate change, which affects most crops and increases the risk of disease and famine, is addressed in this notion. The Food and Agriculture ...
Nowadays, it is recognized that freshwater ecosystems can process a substantial part of the terrestrial organic matter they transport, thereby contributing significantly to global C fluxes. However, the mechanisms behind ...
Silicon (Si), in its dissolved form of silicic acid (DSi), is a key nutrient in the ocean. The availability of such nutrient in marine ecosystems is regulated through its use by silica-secreting organisms, a variety of ...
[eng] The current rampant loss of biodiversity is known to be affecting human well-being the world over. Sustainability has become the global go-to solution to ensure the balance between economic growth, social well-being ...
En los últimos años los proyectos de restauración se han incrementado por todo el mundo, particularmente los de manglares degradados, pero no se dispone de información suficiente sobre el grado de éxito de las acciones ...
