Metodología de diagnóstico de plantas de tratamiento de agua potable

, 2021
La metodología desarrollada evalúa las distintas unidades que forman parte de una Planta de Tratamiento de Agua Potable (PTAP), fundamentalmente en aguas tipo II y IV, aunque los procedimientos para procesos específicos pueden ser aplicadas en cualquier sistema que los contenga. La metodología describe en primer lugar la medición de caudal, en donde se

Evaluating the role of frequency‐dependent selection in controlling the expansion of clonal aggregations in the tropical forest's understorey: Insights from a decade‐long experiment

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 851-862, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual reproduction, despite its associated costs and risks, is prevalent among many organisms, presumably to generate and maintain genetic diversity. This diversity is vital for adapting to environmental changes and combating natural enemies.

Evaluating endophyte‐rich leaves and leaf functional traits for protection of tropical trees against natural enemies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Butterfly species vary in sex‐specific sodium accumulation from larval diets

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 228-234, February 2025.
Male butterflies accumulate more sodium than females in three butterfly species, especially when larvae were exposed to high dietary sodium concentrations. Sodium bioaccumulation occurred mainly in Low Na treatments and bioexcretion was highest in females on High Na diets.

The potential of gardening and other plant‐related interventions to reduce symptoms of depression: A systematic review of non‐randomized controlled trials and uncontrolled studies

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 295-316, January 2025.
Abstract Previous systematic reviews have examined the effect of horticultural interventions (e.g., taking care of plants, planting, gardening) on individuals' depressive symptoms through analyses focused exclusively on randomized controlled trials, but that approach overlooks a majority of the potentially informative published research.

Differential responses of community‐level functional traits to mid‐ and late‐season experimental drought in a temperate grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 10, Page 2292-2306, October 2024.
These findings suggest that functional trait composition of grassland communities may shift under climate change‐induced drought, depending on the growing season timings. Trait‐based attempts to predict ecosystem functioning must account for such temporal variation in community trait values.

Embryo excision in Compositae, with implications for combating biodiversity loss

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 12, Issue 5, September-October 2024.
Abstract Premise Embryo excision is an effective, under‐described means of promoting germination in the sunflower family and may help to ensure the survival of endangered taxa or lineages with limited seed availability. Methods and Results We describe and illustrate a detailed method of embryo excision used successfully to stimulate germination in a ...

Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1805-1816, August 2024.
Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required ...

Range‐wide intraspecific variation reflects past adaptation to climate in a gypsophile Mediterranean shrub

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 7, Page 1533-1549, July 2024.
Despite strong specialization to gypsum soils, past divergent selection related to climatic gradients has driven adaptive population differentiation in Lepidium subulatum. All populations showed high but similar plasticity to drought, indicating that selection did not act against plasticity in harsh environmental conditions.
