Abstract Riverine floodplains serve as an important link between terrestrial and aquatic systems, as the rising and falling of water drive spatial food web subsidies that are critical to the functioning and stability of ecosystems. As these systems are increasingly impacted by hydrological alterations and climate change, it is important to understand ...

Alligators serve as apex predators in wetlands, but this work reveals that they also function as ecosystem engineers capable of radically altering plant and animal communities and nutrient dynamics. Alligators modify food‐web structure by digging and maintaining alligator ponds that provide habitat to fishes and inverterbrates under hydrological stress.

Abstract Ecosystems have been shaped by fire for millions of years. Many oligotrophic ecosystems rely on fire for biogeochemical cycling and maintenance of key processes. However, it is uncertain how fire intensity interacts with nutrient limitation to drive differential responses in postfire biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem recovery. In this study,

Pomegranate peel extract is rich of interesting bioactive chemicals, principally phenolic compounds, which have shown antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidative properties. The aim of this work was to improve extract’ bioactivity through the adsorption on calcium carbonate nanocrystals.

Abstract How climate and habitat drive variation in aquatic metabolism in wetlands remains uncertain. To quantify differences in seasonal aquatic metabolism among wetlands, we estimated aquatic ecosystem metabolism (gross primary productivity, GPP; ecosystem respiration, ER; net aquatic productivity, NAP) in subtropical ridge and slough wetlands of the

Abstract Implementation of hydrologic modifications within the southeastern coastal Everglades over the last century have impacted ecological functioning of the system. This study characterized and investigated the effects of hydrologic modifications through the C‐111 canal system on soil physicochemical properties of marsh and tree island community ...

Un laberinto de papel. Fábricas de pasta de celulosa y conflicto socioambiental en el río Uruguay
Les fàbriques de pasta de cel·lulosa tenen fama de ser potencialment contaminants i, per tant, motiu de conflictes en moltes parts del món. Arran de la instal·lació d’una planta d’aquest tipus a la riba oriental del riu Uruguai —el qual delimita la ...

We found niche separation between saltmarsh and mangrove species and weak interaction between coexisting species in the high tidal zone of the saltmarsh‐mangrove mixing communities. Abstract Saltmarsh‐mangrove ecotones occur at the boundary of the natural geographic distribution of mangroves and salt marshes.

Pest categorisation of the non‐EU phytoplasmas of tuber‐forming Solanum spp.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of four phytoplasmas of tuber‐forming Solanum spp. known to occur only outside the EU or having a limited presence in the EU. The only tuber‐forming species of Solanum reported to be phytoplasma infected is S. tuberosum.

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of nine phytoplasmas of Cydonia Mill., Fragaria L., Malus Mill., Prunus L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., Rubus L. and Vitis L. (hereafter “host plants”) known to occur only outside the EU or having a limited presence in the EU.
