Fairy ring fungi are considered keystone species in grasslands due to their strong impact on soil physicochemical properties, but effect the associated bacterial community is poorly understood. Here, we analyze shifts diversity and composition across fairy rings using Illumina metabarcoding. A total of 254,135 MiSeq reads between 405 1444 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) per sample were observed a montane grassland Eastern Pyrenees. We found reduction all indices inside ring-affected zones...
Prescribed fire is one of the most widely-used management tools to recover encroached rangelands. Fire has been reported cause changes in soil physical and chemical properties. However, legacy effects former plant species on responses remains unknown. The effect extant carbon (C) nitrogen (N) fractionation distribution after prescribed burning topsoil (0–5 cm 5–10 cm) was investigated Mediterranean shrublands Montseny. We sampled soils under five vegetation patch types: Cytisus scoparius L.,...
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms underlying net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE) in mountain grasslands is important to quantify their relevance global carbon budget. However, complex interactions between environmental variables and vegetation on NEE remain unclear; there a lack of empirical data, especially from high elevations Mediterranean region. A chamber-based survey measurements was carried out two climatically contrasted (montane v . subalpine) Pyrenees; assessing relative...
Abstract Questions Does grazing management shape the proportion of plant guilds (grasses, legumes, forbs and sedges) in mountain grasslands? Which properties have greatest effect on guilds: grazer diversity/identity or intensity? Are effects guild modified by other environmental variables that explain distribution at broad spatial scales? Location Mountains Pyrenees. Methods We modelled grasses, sedges using data from PASTUS database ( n = 96), which contains a wide range conditions due to...
Legume-based livestock forage systems are widespread and socially relevant agroecosystems that essential for delivering high-quality forage. Therefore, it is critical to determine how climate change management might affect the functioning of agroecosystems. The objective this study was explore potential sainfoin swards under different regimes by combining results from an experiment on species diversity effects yield developed extreme climatic conditions a survey (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.)...
Iberian holm oak meadows are savannah-like ecosystems that result from traditional silvo-pastoral practices. However, such uses declining, driving changes in the typical tree—open grassland structure of these systems. Yet, there no studies integrating whole ecosystem—including arboreal and herbaceous layer—as drivers greenhouse gas (GHG: CO2, CH4 N2O) dynamics. Here, we aimed at influence tree canopies interactions among plant functional types (PFT: grasses, forbs, legumes) layer as GHG...
Abstract Background Although integrase inhibitor (INI)-based regimens are now the first-line choice for all people living with HIV, experience among children and adolescents is still scarce. We describe characteristics outcomes of a paediatric/adolescent cohort on INI-based ART. Methods Retrospective analysis HIV-infected patients below 18 years age who started an regimen from 2007 to 2019, enrolled in Spanish National Adult (CoRIS) Paediatric (CoRISpe) cohorts. Resistance mutations were...
Abstract Fairy rings promoting circular greening belts in the vegetation can shape soil microbial communities by altering conditions. Knowledge about variables involved this process is incomplete. We characterised of six fairy a montane grassland using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiling, and studied if changes properties corresponded to PLFA patterns. Exchangeable potassium (K) decreased inside current rings, while moisture increased zones where were two years before sampling (R2015)....
Tropical forests play a key role in the global carbon balance and natural climate change mitigation, as they account for 68% of forest stocks represent up to 30% soil stocks. However, major uncertainties remain regarding long-term sustainability their sink capacity when considering full greenhouse gas exchange, including methane (CH4) nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes, accurately identifying quantifying all sources sinks. In this line, we present here original continuous high-frequency ecosystem...

Mediterranean mountain grasslands, including the Pyrenees, are highly vulnerable to climate change, due increasing temperatures and heat weaves frequency, among other factors. However, effects of increased on CO2 fluxes in those ecosystems have been barley explored. To address this gap knowledge, we established FLUXPYR-ECOFUN micrometeorological flux network, which included three eddy covariance stations grasslands along a management climatic gradient (montane subalpine) at Pyrenees; aimed...
