Abstract Natural selection is the major force driving adaptive evolution in natural populations, varying strength, direction, and form through space time, especially highly variable environments such as Mediterranean ecosystems. Although a conservative resource‐use strategy has been hypothesized to be taxa, patterns of at intraspecific level, that is, suite traits determining individual fitness, are largely unknown. Using phenotypic experiment semi‐arid conditions, we measured direct...
Abstract Enhanced UV radiation levels and decreased rainfall in Mediterranean terrestrial ecosystems due to climate change might impact soil bacterial communities, significantly altering their structure affecting biogeochemical cycles. The aim of this study was evaluate the effect UV‐B UV‐A on richness, abundance community composition a Typic Dystroxerept shrubland determine whether these effects depend reduced and/or physicochemical properties. Soils were subjected long‐term conditions: +...
Recovering phosphorus (P) through combustion from waste streams, like wastewater sludge and animal manure, offers a promising solution. This research explores the P release patterns in different ashes derived secondary raw materials, using long-term soil incubation lasting 160 days. The study evaluated dynamics five types of enhanced biological removal (EBPR) systems pig slurry burned at temperatures. According to results, primary effect was observed on bioavailability during initial period....
Taking into account the expected changes in solar UV levels, precipitation and fire regime Mediterranean basin, main goal of this thesis was to evaluate effects radiation (UV-A UV-B) diminished water availability on biochemical, morphological, physiological growth traits common resprouter species (Arbutus unedo Quercus suber), as well C N pools a shrubland, before after perturbation. As results, responses A. plants enhanced UV-B were mainly addressed reinforcement antioxidant machinery,...
