Effective dispersal and density-dependence in mesophotic macroalgal forests: Insights from the Mediterranean species Cystoseira zosteroides
Dispersal and recruitment are fundamental processes for population recovery following disturbances in sessile species. While both processes are well understood for many terrestrial species, they still remain poorly resolved ...
La Apuesta por el patrimonio histórico-artístico en el turismo de montaña. El caso del Pirineo Catalán.
[spa] La escasa presión humana sobre los espacios de alta montaña, de características físicas extremas, ha permitido mantener y conservar un patrimonio natural y cultural de innegable valor y atractivo que, con el paso del ...
La Transformación del mundo agrario en un territorio turístico de montaña. Las comarcas de Alta Ribagorça, Aran y Pallars Sobirà.
[spa] En el Pirineo catalán, partiendo de una economía tradicional de base ganadera y forestal, el territorio se ha especializado desde la perspectiva económica en el sector terciario; hecho que también ha supuesto importantes ...
1st Water, Landscape & Society in the Past Conference (WaLS Conference)
El presente libro electrónico actúa como compendio general de las aportaciones científicas al 1st Water, Landscape & Society in the Past Conference (WaLS Conference), llevado a cabo los días 9 y 10 de octubre de 2025 en ...
Morpho-physiological responses of alamo switchgrass during germination and early seedling stage under salinity or water stress conditions
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm perennial grass with valuable characteristics as a biofuel crop. To avoid competition with food crops, biofuel crops will be likely relegated to less productive soils such as ...
Determination of HPLC-UV fingerprints of Spanish paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) for its classification by linear discriminant analysis
The development of a simple HPLC-UV method towards the evaluation of Spanish paprika' phenolic profile and their discrimination based on the former is reported herein. The approach is based on C18 reversed-phase chromatography ...
Deriving parametric and probabilistic Kd values for fluoroquinolones in soils
The evaluation of the sorption affinity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) in soils, by means of the derivation of solid-liquid distribution coefficients (Kd), is a valuable information for assessing their environmental ...
Considerations on the use of spectroelectrochemistry in reflection mode for quantitative analysis: Study of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) - orthophenanthroline system
Theoretical and experimental considerations are made about possible analytical applications of spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) in reflection mode using screen-printed electrodes. The system Fe(III)/Fe(II) - orthophenanthroline ...
Multivariate standard addition for the analysis of overlapping voltammetric signals in the presence of matrix effects: Application to the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and catechol
A multivariate version of the classical univariate standard addition method is tested as a proof of concept for the voltammetric analysis of complex samples generating overlapped signals in the presence of significant ...
Analysis of isotopes of plutonium in water samples with a PSresin based on aliquat⋅336
There is a necessity to have techniques capable to perform rapid determinations of specific radionuclides with the aim to provide fast response in emergency situations where a large number of samples need to be measured ...
Modified distribution in the polyphenolic profile of rosemary leaves induced by plant inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus
BACKGROUND: Rosemary forms an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis with a group of soilborne fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota, which can modify the plant metabolome responsible for the antioxidant capacity and ...
Evaluation of a virus concentration method based on ultrafiltration and wet foam elution for studying viruses from large-volume water samples
Assessing the presence of viruses in large-volume samples involves cumbersome methods that require specialized training and laboratory equipment. In this study, a large volume concentration (LVC) method, based on dead-end ...
Impact of food waste composition on acidogenic co-fermentation with waste activated sludge
The impact of food waste (FW) composition on co-fermentation performance was studied to elucidate if adjusting FW composition can be used to drive the fermentation yield and profile, which is relevant for biorefinery ...
Significado científico y valor patrimonial del glaciar histórico del Corral del Veleta (Sierra Nevada). Scientific value and natural heritage of the historical glacier of the Veleta cirque (Sierra Nevada)
Resumen. El reducto glaciar del Corral del Veleta fue el más importante de los desarrollados en Sierra Nevada durante la Pequeña Edad del Hielo (PEH) permaneciendo visible hasta mediados del siglo xx. En la actualidad, ...
Enhanced terahertz sensitivity for glucose detection with a hydrogel platform embedded with Au nanoparticles
We presented a strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of terahertz glucose sensing with a hydrogel platform pre-embedded with Au nanoparticles. Physiological-level glucose solutions ranging from 0 to 0.8 mg/mL were measured ...
The relationship between precipitation and insurance data for floods in a Mediterranean region (northeast Spain)
Floods in the Mediterranean region are often surface water floods, in which intense precipitation is usually the main driver. Determining the link between the causes and impacts of floods can make it easier to calculate ...
The Podonominae pupae (Diptera: Chironomidae) of the tropical high Andean rivers.
The Podonominae is a subfamily of Chironomidae which immature stages inhabit cold streams and brooks. In South America, most of the species have been reported only from the Andean/Patagonian subregion. However, the knowledge ...
Evaluation of synthesis conditions for plastic scintillation foils used to measure alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides
Plastic scintillation foils of polystyrene and polycarbonate with a thickness between 45 and 200 μm, have been produced using the solvent evaporation method. PSfoils presented a reproducible thickness (10-20%). PSfoils ...
Are there so many congeneric species of chironomid larvae in a small stream?
The co-occurrence of larvae of congeneric chironomid species is common in natural stream assemblages, and raises the problem of finding mechanisms to explain the co-existence of species with similar ecological requirements. ...
Novel insights on new particle formation derived from a pan- european observing system
The formation of new atmospheric particles involves an initial step forming stable clusters less than a nanometre in size (<~1 nm), followed by growth into quasi-stable aerosol particles a few nanometres (~1-10 nm) and ...
