Actions for the restoration of the biodiversity of forest ecosystems in Cuba
The Earth is threatened daily by the degradation of its ecosystems due to fragmentation. One of the main consequences is biodiversity loss. Despite the economic progress and conservation actions carried out in many countries, ... -
Ammonia and GHG emission from environmental techniques in livestock farms based on modelization
Actualmente, los sistemas agro-ganaderos tienen que hacer frente a desafíos ambientales, técnicos y económicos para tratar de responder a las demandas de desarrollo sostenible de la sociedad, lo cual requiere de soluciones ... -
Bosques, suelo y agua: explorando sus interacciones
Miles de millones de personas sufren los efectos de un acceso inadecuado al agua (Mekonnen y Hoekstra 2016). En muchas regiones del mundo la explotación excesiva de los recursos hídricos disponibles, el mal de uso de ... -
Both foliar and residual applications of herbicides that inhibit amino acid biosynthesis induce alternative respiration and aerobic fermentation in pea roots
The objective of this work was to ascertain whether there is a general pattern of carbon allocation and utilisation in plants following herbicide supply, independent of the site of application: sprayed on leaves or supplied ... -
Branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis inhibitors: herbicide efficacy is associated with an induced carbon–nitrogen imbalance
Acetolactate synthase (ALS; EC 4.1.3.18) and ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI; EC 1.1.1.86) are two consecutive enzymes in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. Several commercial herbicides inhibit ALS as their ... -
Bringing the natives back: identifying and alleviating establishment limitations of native hardwood species in a conifer plantation
To facilitate the reintroduction of five native late-successional Taiwanese Fagaceae species into Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (D.) Don) plantations, we experimented with methods to alleviate their establishment ... -
Caracterización de opus tesselatum procedentes de Ávila, España
Se han estudiado diversas muestras de Opus tesselatum procedentes de excavaciones arqueológicas de urgencia en Ávila (España) para determinar su origen y las tecnologías de producción utilizadas en su fabricación. Las ... -
Carne de vacuno enriquecida con n-3 y CLA y actitud de los consumidores frente a alimentos funcionales. Aptitud tecnológica para la elaboración de nuevos productos saludables.
La innovación es un factor clave para impulsar y consolidar el sector cárnico, incrementando la competitividad en la cadena de carne de vacuno y garantizando a los consumidores los mejores productos, sanos y de calidad. ... -
Casting activity of scherotheca gigas in no-till Mediterranean soils: role in organic matter incorporation and influence of aridity
The behaviour of earthworms, their role in organic matter incorporation into the soil, and the influence of aridity in such processes in arid and semiarid regions have scarcely been studied. In this study, physico-chemical ... -
The CCAAT box-binding transcription factor NF-YA1 controls rhizobial infection
Symbiosis between legume plants and soil rhizobia culminates in the formation of a novel root organ, the 'nodule', containing bacteria differentiated as facultative nitrogen-fixing organelles. MtNF-YA1 is a Medicago ... -
Characterization of the Amaranthus palmeri physiological response to glyphosate in susceptible and resistant populations
The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the aromatic amino acid (AAA) biosynthetic pathway. The physiologies of an Amaranthus palmeri population exhibiting ... -
Climate-forest-water-people relations: seven system delineations
In this chapter, we review current scientific understanding and hypotheses at seven system delineations that build up from the level of a ‘tree’ interacting with water, to that of a social-ecological system at the scale ... -
Complementary evaluation of iron deficiency root responses to assess the effectiveness of different iron foliar applications for chlorosis remediation
Iron deficiency in plants is caused by a low availability of iron in the soil, and its main visual symptom is leaf yellowing due to a decrease in chlorophyll content, along with a reduction in plant growth and fruit quality. ... -
Complex climate constraints of upper treeline formation in the Pyrenees
Alpine treelines are often induced by a threshold of minimum temperatures above which tree growth is generally not possible anymore. However, this worldwide pattern may not account for more drought-prone mountains, where ... -
Compost de FORM con restos de alimentos cárnicos como componente de sustratos de cultivo
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2014) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaLa utilización de compost de FORM como fertilizante es una práctica inocua y segura ampliamente implantada en la unión europea y que presenta gran cantidad de ventajas desde un punto de vista agronómico y medioambiental. ... -
Compostaje descentralizado de residuos orgánicos domiciliarios a pequeña escala: estudio del proceso y del producto obtenido
Las más recientes políticas europeas en materia de residuos contemplan un sistema jerárquico de opciones de gestión, en el cual las acciones de prevención constituyen la más alta prioridad. Desde los años noventa el ... -
Conservation agriculture on irrigated gravelly soils. Assessment of the effect of stoniness on the soil water flow and soil properties
Los suelos que contienen fragmentos de roca (partículas > 2 mm de diámetro) se denominan suelos pedregosos, y sólo en la región mediterránea cubren más del 60% de la superficie. Su uso para la producción de alimentos y ... -
Determinants of the forest-water relationship
Our analysis of forest-water relations addresses four important subsystems of a linked planetary social-ecological system: climate, forests, water and people. In this chapter, we consider how each of these subsystems ... -
Determining suitable selection cutting intensities based on long term observations on above-ground forest carbon, growth, and stand structure in Changbai Mountain, Northeast China
We studied the effects of different cutting intensities (0%, 5-10%, 15%, and 20% basal area removal) on stand growth, structure, and net carbon storage in spruce-fir (Picea asperata Mast.-Abies fabri Mast. Craib) and ...
