GATHERING THE HARVEST: THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE IN ROMAN CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 68-92, February 2026.
Summary When Rome colonized Britain, it created a transport network spanning the province. This transformed the Iron Age economy, creating large new markets which in turn supported specialized manufacturing. This article explores the impact of transportation on Roman agriculture – the core of the Romano‐British economy.

The recent history of the Tarquinia Salterns offers the opportunity to investigate parallel changes at the habitat and biodiversity levels

, 2011
1 - Salterns, although artificial habitats, can be considered as coastal wetlands from an ecological, functional and conservational point of view, according to the Ramsar Convention Bureau (1990).

Eukaryotic algal community composition in tropical environments from solar salterns to the open sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Tropical environments with unique abiotic and biotic factors—such as salt ponds, mangroves, and coral reefs—are often in close proximity. The heterogeneity of these environments is reflected in community shifts over short distances, resulting in high ...

Spatial Resolution of Microbial Community Members Within Cyanobacterial Mats From Temperate Mud Flats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We characterized and compared the bacterial community within intertidal and supratidal cyanobacterial mats from barrier islands in North Carolina across small horizontal and vertical spatial scales. We found that vertical layers within these stratified mats varied in their community composition and diversity together with nutrients and isotopic ...

Seasonal dynamics of extremely halophilic microbial communities in three Argentinian salterns [PDF]

, 2016
Seasonal sampling was carried out at three Argentinian salterns, Salitral Negro (SN), Colorada Grande (CG) and Guatraché (G), to analyze abiotic parameters and microbial diversity and dynamics.

Solar salterns as model systems to study the units of bacterial diversity that matter for ecosystem functioning [PDF]

, 2022
Microbial communities often harbor overwhelming species and gene diversity, making it challenging to determine the important units to study this diversity. We argue that the reduced, and thus tractable, microbial diversity of manmade salterns provides an

The Saline Aquatic Systems As ‘Natural Reservoirs’ For Microorganisms with Current and Potential Applications. [PDF]

Aerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2019
Saline aquatic systems include inland and marine-derived lakes, solar salterns, or temporary inland saline ponds. Despite their high salinity, these ecosystems are inhabited by diverse microbial communities driving full biogeochemical cycling of main ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Community respiration studies in saltern crystallizer ponds [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2009
To measure community respiration by the heterotrophic Archaea (dominated by Haloquadratum) and Bacteria (Salinibacter) in the NaCl-saturated crystallizer brines of the solar salterns in Eilat, Israel, and to obtain information on the substrates preferred by the community as energy sources, we used 2 complementary approaches: monitoring of changes in ...

Genome‐Resolved Approach of Guerrero Negro Hypersaline Microbial Mats Reveals the Metabolic Potential of Key Players in a Stratified Community

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2025.
The first metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) from Guerrero Negro hypersaline microbial mats were recovered from natural and incubated samples. These MAGs include dominant and rare taxa, whose metabolic potential provides clues to metabolic versatility in the cycling of three elements (carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen) at the genome and community levels ...
