Do composted bioamendments enhance the resistance of Mediterranean agricultural soils and their microbial carbon use efficiency to extreme heat-stress events? Open
Mediterranean agroecosystems are vulnerable to extreme heat-stress, especially because of their low organic matter content. Bioamendments may enhance soil nutrient content and microbial resilience to heatwaves. However, their effectiveness…

Differential aridity-induced variations in ecosystem multifunctionality between Iberian Pinus and Quercus Mediterranean forests Open
Forests deliver multiple ecosystem functions and services (i.e. multifunctionality) of great importance to society. However, such multifunctionality capacity is threatened by global warming, especially in Mediterranean forests, which are a…

Fusarium oxysporum FO12 enhances plant performance by modulating the phytohormone profile and soil properties as a function of the inoculation method Open
Background and aims Endophytic fungi such as the non-pathogenic strain Fusarium oxysporum FO12 have emerged as useful allies for plants as they could promote plant growth and protect from stresses. However, its performance under natural so…

Assessing the impact of valorized organic waste on plant productivity and soil health: a comprehensive performance evaluation Open
An expanding population with an increasing demand for alimentation exerts considerable stress on the agricultural system. This system depends on maintaining robust and fertile soils, typically achieved through the application of synthetic …

Recycled organic materials as fertilisers to meet agriculture demand on phosphorus in Mediterranean soils Open
Phosphorus (P) is essential for plant development and to feed the world population. Most of the P that is used as a fertiliser in agriculture has a mineral origin, whose reserves are scarce as it is a non-renewable resource. Also, internat…

Photocatalysis in agricultural soils: Mineralogy and soil properties control the fixation and emission of NOx and other trace gases of N Open
Trace gases of nitrogen (N), such as NOx (nitric oxide, NO + nitrogen dioxide, NO2) have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Although NOx are naturally produced in volcanic eruptions, forest fires and biotic nitrificatio…

Selectivity of soil constituents by termites in the construction of Brazilian termite mounds Open
Termites can create structures that alter the physical and chemical properties of soils. In this process, termites are selective about the soil constituents they will use to construct their mounds. Considering the common occurrence of term…

Re-Visiting the Quantification of Hematite by Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Open
Hematite concentration is an important climatic proxy for environmental (climatic) studies of soils and sediments. However, the accurate quantification of naturally occurring hematite has always been a difficult question, especially for th…

Linking functional traits with tree growth and forest productivity in Quercus ilex forests along a climatic gradient Open
Plant functional traits are highly plastic to changes in climatic factors and nutrient availability. However, the intraspecific plant response to abiotic factors and the overall effect on tree growth and productivity is still under debate.…

Soil Nutrients Effects on the Performance of Durum Wheat Inoculated with Entomopathogenic Fungi Open
Entomopathogenic fungi (EFs) are widely used as biological control agents. However, some strains of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum can also promote plant growth and increase nutrient uptake. We examined the effects of soil pro…
