Biochar, a carbon-rich solid produced from biomass pyrolysis, has attracted growing interest as fertiliser ingredient due to its ability non-permanently retain nutrients. A greenhouse pot experiment was set up compare three commercial organo-mineral formulations (NPK, NP and K) with the corresponding containing slow-pyrolysis wood biochar (NPK+B, NP+B K+B) (6 replications each). Nutrient leaching well crop growth nutrient uptake monitored using barley model species. slowed down in NPK+B...
With the aim to improve mixture design, particularly in regions vulnerable climate change, we tested several forage communities following biodiversity–ecosystem function (BEF) framework. We sowed monocultures and 4-species mixtures from a pool of 7 species sub-Mediterranean region (Eastern Pyrenees) assessed diversity effects on yield resistance weed invasion. The included two grasses five legumes with contrasting temporal patterns different climatic amplitudes. differed their specific...
In 2010-2016, we monitored 28 clutches of eight adult Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax females tracked by GPS on the Lleida Plain, in Ebro Depression (NE Spain), to study nesting and incubation behaviour. addition describing these behaviours, used generalised linear mixed models identify factors that determine hatching probability, such as laying date, habitat We found a high capacity (53%) produce replacement following nest failure. Unsuccessful nests represented 67.9% clutches, mainly due low...
There is an urge to optimise the sustainability and resilience of grasslands, especially in light extreme weather risks posed by climate change. Plant sown diversity could contribute mitigating these improving resource use efficiency as well reducing reliance on fertilisation. We established a field experiment determine forage swards' performance terms water use, nitrogen (N) dry matter (DM) yield semi-arid Mediterranean area which faced severe drought period. Most variables were tested over...
Increase of soil fertilization produces an increase N exported to the hydrosphere. The amount nitrate that reaches aquifers is controlled by processes affecting N-species within soils. most relevant are nitrification, denitrification, assimilation, mineralization, and immobilization. This work studies fate compounds in after manure application a lysimeter study. To this end isotopic composition O dissolved (δ 15 N-NO 3 - δ 18 O-NO ) was studied coupled with evolution N-compounds retained...
Increasing sown diversity as implemented in forage mixtures can be an adaptation mechanism grassland systems, which is of special importance for vulnerable systems like the Mediterranean regions, described highly to climate change. With aim improve mixture design regions we tested several communities following biodiversity–ecosystem function (BEF) framework. We sowed monocultures and 4-species from a pool 7 species sub-Mediterranean region (Eastern Pyrenees), assessed effects on yield...
espanol?Como es que, segun Kant, se originan en el entendimiento los conceptos em-piricos? En este articulo pretendo mos-trar que la construccion de empiricos una tarea corresponde al esquematismo facultad juzgar, y esta no debe identi-ficarse, como usualmente hace, con proceso comparacion, reflexion abstraccion explicado por autor Logica Jasche. Mas bien, trata un psicologico cual cierto contenido representacional naturaleza sensible «intelectualizado» —a traves lo llamo empiri-co— para dar...
