Abstract:
... The aim of this work was to address whether the growing location of tomato could generate a different (poly)phenol profile able to affect both in vivo absorption and (poly)phenol metabolite pattern upon tomato consumption. uHPLC-MSⁿ analyses allowed to obtain a detailed (poly)phenol profile of tomatoes from two locations in Spain, quantifying 57 (poly)phenolic compounds. However, local and non-loc ...

It is well established that in environments where NH₃ abundance is limiting in secondary PM₂.₅ generation, a reduction of NH₃ emissions can result in an important contribution to air quality control. However, as deduced from open data published by the European Environmental Agency, the availability of measurements of NH₃ concentrations is very scarce, with very few countries in Europe reporting da ...

A substantial area of the new almond plantations in Spain is under irrigation, but due to recurring severe droughts, the irrigation water allocation for agriculture can be drastically reduced eventually. This study assesses the physiological and yields effects of a single-season water deprivation (2017) over three seasons (2017–2019) on a previously well-irrigated mature almond [Prunus dulcis (Mil ...

Abstract:
... The mid-Albian to lower Cenomanian Utrillas Group is interpreted as an arid braidplain system in the Serranía de Cuenca region (Iberian Basin, Spain). In its proximal locations, it consists of an interaction of alluvial facies and subordinate aeolian deposits, with the occurrence of tidally-influenced deposits that reflect a general transgressive trend to the top of the succession. However, the di ...

Abstract:
... Warming temperatures and droughts are driving widespread forest dieback and growth decline worldwide. In forests experiencing dieback, declining trees may exhibit altered climate memory of growth, indicative of physiological impairment. Thus, we evaluated climate-growth responses of trees in four drought-disturbed forests dominated either by gymnosperms (Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris) or angiosperm ...
