Roads have the potential to alter local environmental conditions, such as availability of water and nutrients, rapidly create suitable habitats for establishment both native non-native plant species, transforming ecosystems. This is a challenge in Timanfaya National Park Los Volcanes Natural on Lanzarote Island, protected areas that experienced primary succession after recent volcanic eruptions. In arid ecosystems, changes abiotic conditions along roadsides might facilitate colonization...
Forest fires are considered to play a fundamental role in structuring many forest plant communities. Prescribed burning is useful tool reduce fire risk by reducing the amount of fuel. Our main objective was analyse effects prescribed on undergrowth species richness and diversity as well other characteristic variables reforested Pinus canariensis stand. In areas where had been performed last 10 years, we established 8 plots 900 m2. Their respective control were nearby unburned environmentally...
"Rumex lunaria L., a Polygonaceae shrub, has colonized large areas of Lanzarote, Canary Islands, from the 1980s to present day, revealing an invasive behaviour. Recently, symptoms disease like leaf spots and lack turgidity in trunks have been observed. This fact led investigation on fungal communities this species several National Park other locations Lanzarote Island. Our objectives were detect select strains with phytopathogenic traits isolated symptomatic plants using different screening...
Abstract Rumex lunaria is an endemic shrub of the Canary Islands, which colonizing Timanfaya National Park (TNP) in Lanzarote. Whether arrival R. to Lanzarote has been natural or by human intervention still a matter debate. To address this question, 100 specimens were collected from seven main and genetic analysis four chloroplast DNA loci performed, covering total length 4809 nucleotide positions. Multiple alignments revealed 49 substitutions, define 30 different haplotypes. Island-specific...
