The effects of temperature and flooding duration on the structure and magnitude of a floodplain prey subsidy

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 9, Page 1518-1529, September 2023., 2023
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 ...

An apex predator engineers wetland food‐web heterogeneity through nutrient enrichment and habitat modification

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 1388-1403, July 2023., 2023
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.

Fire intensity and ecosystem oligotrophic status drive relative phosphorus release and retention in freshwater marshes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
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,

Enhanced Bioactivity of Pomegranate Peel Extract following Controlled Release from CaCO3 Nanocrystals

open access: yesBioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
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.

Understanding drivers of aquatic ecosystem metabolism in freshwater subtropical ridge and slough wetlands

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
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

Characterizing hydrologic effects on soil physicochemical variation within tree islands and marshes in the coastal Florida Everglades

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 85, Issue 4, Page 1269-1280, July/August 2021., 2021
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

open access: yesDocuments d'Anàlisi Geogràfica, 2011
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 ...

Niche separation and weak interactions in the high tidal zone of saltmarsh‐mangrove mixing communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 3871-3883, May 2021., 2021
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.

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020
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.

Pest categorisation of the non‐EU phytoplasmas of Cydonia Mill., Fragaria L., Malus Mill., Prunus L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., Rubus L. and Vitis L.

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020
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.
