Increasing levels of anthropogenic noise interferes with the acoustic communication birds. Adaptive shifts in song characteristics (frequency and amplitude) spatial temporal patterns singing behavior face pollution have been documented. We provide evidence for another response, increased time spent singing, a successful suburban bird, serin Serinus serinus. Serins proportion at posts relation to changes both space up threshold approximately 70 dBA, whereas was not related levels. This...
Abstract The effects of drought on soil dynamics after fire are poorly known, particularly its long‐term (i.e., years) legacy once rainfall returns to normal. Understanding this is important for nutrient‐poor soils in semi‐arid regions affected by fire, which projected decrease with climate change. Here, we studied the post‐fire and microbial community structure functionality a Cistus ‐ Erica shrubland (Spain). Rainfall total patterns were experimentally modified produce an unburned control...
Emissions from mobile sources have become a major concern for health, environmental sustainability and climate change high-resolution inventories are needed to support the design assessment of abatement measures in urban areas. This study addresses development traffic emissions inventory Guayaquil, second largest city Ecuador, using International Vehicle Model (IVE). allocated with spatial resolution 1 km × temporal h top-down methodology. application combines statistics already available...
Fire is a major factor controlling global carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. While direct C N losses caused by combustion have been comparably well established, important knowledge gaps remain on postfire losses. Here, we quantified both as gaseous (N2 O, NO N2 ) leaching after high-intensity experimental fire in an old shrubland central Spain. Combustion of were 9.4 Mg C/ha 129 kg N/ha, respectively, representing 66% 58% initial aboveground vegetation litter stocks. Moreover, strongly...

Understanding how drought affects seeder and resprouter plants during post-fire regeneration is important for the anticipation of Mediterranean vegetation vulnerability in a context increasing fire caused by climate change. A shrubland was subjected to various treatments (including 45% rainfall reduction, 7 months yr-1 ), before after experimental burning, means rainout-shelter system with an irrigation facility. Predawn shoot water potential (Ψpd relative growth rate (RGR), specific leaf...
Understanding the mechanisms underlying response of different plant functional types to current and projected changes in rainfall is particularly important drought-prone areas like Mediterranean. Here, we report responses two species with contrasting leaf characteristics post-fire regeneration strategies (Cistus ladanifer L., malacophyllous, seeder; Erica arborea sclerophyllous, resprouter) a manipulative field experiment that simulated severe drought (45% reduction historical average...
Beta diversity, and its components of turnover nestedness, reflects the processes governing community assembly, such as dispersal limitation or biotic interactions, but it is unclear how they operate at local scale their role changes along postfire succession. Here, we analyzed patterns beta diversity in a herbaceous plant after fire, relation to ability, Central Spain. We calculated multiple-site (β
Abstract. Fire is a major ecosystem driver, causing significant changes in soil nutrients and microbial community structure functionality. Post-fire dynamics can vary depending on rainfall patterns, although variations response to drought are poorly known. This particularly important areas with poor soils limited rainfall, like arid semiarid ones. Furthermore, climate change projections many such anticipate reduced precipitation longer drought, together an increase fire severity. The effects...
Remanufacturing has proven to be a profitable End-of-Life (EoL) strategy, and it is considered one of the most effective efficient EoL strategies encourage sustainability. In Ecuador, in automotive sector focus on recovering Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) heavy-duty vehicles are closer reconditioning repairing than remanufacturing. Artisanal Workshops (AW) perform these strategies, they apply different processes based experience not formal methodology. Thus, present work aims bring...
Extreme drought events during post-fire regeneration are becoming increasingly frequent in Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Understanding how plants with different traits and origins respond to such conditions early life stages is therefore critical for assessing the effect of climate change. Here, seedlings three Cistus (semi-deciduous malacophylls from Mediterranean Basin) Ceanothus (evergreen sclerophylls California) species, two seeder genera contrasting leaf traits, were subjected...
Understanding how fire severity affects resprouting plants during post-fire regeneration is key to anticipating Mediterranean vegetation vulnerability in a context of increasingly large fires with high intensity and due climate change. Here, we monitored the water status, leaf gas exchange, plant growth holm oaks (Quercus ilex) central Spain burned different throughout first year. The Q. ilex (HB+) showed higher potential shoot than those low (LB+) or unburned (B−), especially spring summer....
In Mediterranean ecosystems, climate change is projected to increase fire danger and summer drought, thus reducing post-fire recruitment of obligate seeder species, possibly affecting the population genetic structure. We performed a genome-wide marker study, using AFLP markers, on individuals from one Central Spain Cistus ladanifer L. that established after experimental survived during four subsequent years under simulated drought implemented with rainout shelter system. explored effects...
