The Alzheimer's disease (AD) process is likely initiated many years before clinical onset. Biomarkers of preclinical are critical for the development disease-modifying or even preventative therapies. Current biomarkers early disease, including cerebrospinal fluid tau and amyloid β (Aβ) levels, structural functional magnetic resonance imaging, use brain limited because they very invasive expensive. Noninvasive may be a more accessible alternative, but none can currently detect AD with...
Abstract The first comprehensive phytosociological classification of all vegetation types in Europe (EuroVegChecklist; Applied Vegetation Science , 2016, 19 3–264) contained brief descriptions each type. However, these were not standardized and mentioned only the most distinct features practical application system could be enhanced if users had option to select sets based on various combinations structural, ecological, biogeographical attributes. Based a literature review expert knowledge,...
Background Glutamate ( G lu) and glutamine ln) are strongly compartmentalized (in neurons for lu in astrocytes ln). The visual cortex is the brain region with a higher neuron/astrocyte ratio (the highest neuronal density relatively lowest of astrocytes). Elevations extracellular or potassium above certain thresholds likely candidates to be final common steps multiple distinct processes that can lead cortical spreading depression. Astrocytes play key role this phenomenon, by acting as sink...
Abstract Questions Our study focused on spontaneous vegetation in urban greenspaces a Mediterranean city with the aim of relating plant community properties ecological services along soil disturbance gradients. We asked which communities have greatest biodiversity and carbon storage best‐performing nutrient cycles water regulation. Location Madrid City (Central Spain). Methods studied four types following gradients: trampled soils, roadside vegetation, annual grasslands perennial forbs....
Temporary ponds are seasonal wetlands annually subjected to extreme and unstable ecological conditions, neither truly aquatic nor terrestrial. This habitat its flora have been poorly studied documented because of the ephemeral character flora, changeable annual weather that has a great effect on small, herbaceous taxa declining abundance temporary ponds. The objectives this study are: (a) define plant community diversity in terms floristic composition SW Portugal, (b) identify pond types...
The class Montio-Cardaminetea includes vegetation of springs with constant water flow.These habitats, which function as islands for highly specialized and sensitive biota, are endangered by ongoing landscape climatic changes.Although a harmonized classification into units is necessary effective habitat conservation, there currently no synthetic the Montio-Cardaminetea.Here large set vegetation-plot records was obtained from national private databases.The aim to validate EuroVegChecklist...

Abstract The spatial patterns of salt‐marsh vegetation in the central Mediterranean district (Tyrrhenian Italy) were analysed by establishing plant‐community distribution Orbetello Lagoon and then carrying out a comparative analysis with other halophytic wetlands belonging to western district. Floristic sampling was performed through belt transects. Cluster analyses revealed two main groups centred around Sarcocornia fruticosa Atriplex portulacoides, seven plant communities Sarcocornietea...
This study examines the floristical composition and distribution pattern of ephemeral quillwort swards found in Iberian Peninsula. A systematic review based initially on 120 phytosociological releves using numerical analyses with classification (Euclidean distance UPGMA MISSQ) ordination (principal component ana lysis - PCA) was carried out. Four groups corresponding to following associations were recognized: )unco pygmaei-Isoetetum velati, Peplido hispidulae-Isoete turn delilei,)unco...
Abstract The abandonment of agricultural lands triggers a secondary succession plant species which implies important changes in soil quality. Annual Mediterranean grasslands are known to be persistent on abandoned agriculture the western Mediterranean. We used taxonomic and functional approaches determine role as an indicator ecosystem biodiversity functionality. tested hypothesis that suitable model for monitoring fertility succession. Soil vegetation features 21 permanent plots were...
Background and aims – This is the first report on early vegetation dynamics in prescribed slash-pile burns under a sub-Mediterranean climate. We studied managed forest system of Pinus sylvestris plantations upper belt Quercus pyrenaica forests Guadarrama Mountains (Spanish Central System). investigated post-fire plant succession order to assess how fire affects tree regeneration species composition (vascular plants, bryophytes fungi) three years. Methods Species composition, cover, number...
