Universitat de Girona
La Universitat de Girona és una institució pública que cerca l’excel·lència en la docència i en la recerca, i que participa en el progrés i el desenvolupament de la societat, mitjançant la creació, transmissió, difusió i crítica de la ciència, la tècnica, les humanitats, les ciències socials i les arts.La Universitat de Girona està arrelada al país i a la cultura catalana i és un dels principals motors econòmics i culturals del seu entorn. Al mateix temps, expressa la vocació d’universalitat i d’obertura a totes les tradicions, avenços i cultures.La Universitat té la seva seu a la ciutat de Girona i s’integra en el sistema d’universitats públiques catalanes.

The Girona urban landscape and Natura 2000 habitats map (1:10.000) was generated with data from photointerpretation and fieldwork. We mapped 118 CORINE habitats and identified 15 Habitats of Community Interest (which cover ...
In inland aquatic ecosystems, drying and salinity can co-occur as natural stressors, affecting aquatic invertebrate communities. Despite recent appreciation of the importance of temporary waterbodies for terrestrial ...
The small islands in the Mediterranean basin play an important role in its diversity because they have very unique natural habitats. They are very vulnerable to the direct and indirect effects of human activity, which ...
There is a distribution limit of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, with its southernmost populations located at the xeric limit for the species. We present here the current ...
Complete wood extraction is a widespread salvage logging practice after wildfire, implemented to obtain economical benefit and to reduce the risk of pest outbreaks. Such intense logging can strongly affect the ecosystem ...
Climatic models for the Mediterranean Basin predict higher ultraviolet (UV) radiation and drier conditions by century’s end, potentially altering litter traits, early-stage decomposition, and nutrient cycling. This study ...
Introduction: Altered wildfire regimes, exacerbated by unsustainable management, threaten natural ecosystem recovery post-fire. Effective restoration requires timely fire impact assessments and tailored, evidence-based ...
We estimate and compare niche position, marginality and breadth of Iberian inland fishes at three geographical extents (regional, restricted to the species’ range and global) to understand the effect of spatial scale on ...
Rivers are ecosystems highly threatened by human activities and fish are an invaluable tool to measure and communicate environmental degradation and restoration. Fish bioassessment is crucial but notoriously difficult in ...
Nota breu sobre la presència de l'argelaga hòrrida -Echinospartum horridum-, arbust espinós de la família 'Fabaceae' a la serra Cavallera (Ripollès). S'ha observat la presència d'aquesta espècie per damunt de les cases del ...

Vector-borne diseases pose significant public health challenges globally, necessitating effective personal protection strategies against insect bites. Topical repellents have been widely used to mitigate these risks, yet ...
The status of sardine and anchovy populations in the northern Mediterranean Sea has been declining in recent decades. In this study, fatty acids and parasitism at different reproductive and feeding stages in these two ...
Bacterial communities in river sediments are shaped by a trade-off between dispersal from upstream or nearby land and selection by the local environmental conditions. In temporary rivers (i.e. those characterized by long ...
Increasing aridity poses a threat to soil functionality, as it affects the key players -prokaryotes and fungi- responsible for these functions. Studying microbial diversity and functions in soils from different aridity ...
The pediment developed on the unweathered granite rocks of the South Albera Massif exhibits the characteristic morphology of an exhumed weathering front, where prominent residual landforms (tors and granite boulders) coexist ...
Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and nature's contributions to people worldwide. However, the effectiveness of invasive alien species (IAS) management measures and the progress ...
Streams naturally receive allochthonous particulate organic materials, but human activity may contribute additional plastic litter inputs, which can affect ecosystem functioning. Our objective was to assess the effect of ...
Nitrate pollution in the Plana de Vic aquifers has presently reached very high levels, which pose enormous limitations to its use. The origin of nitrate is mainly caused by manure application as fer tilizer. In this paper, ...
