Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.; As the productivity and quality of tomato fruits are responsive to Mg applications, without surpassing the threshold of toxicity, the assessment of potential levels of Mg accumulation in tissues, as well as the interactions with Ca and physicochemical properties...
Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; Calcium is essential for plants, yet as its mobility is limited, the understanding of the rate of Ca2+ accumulation and deposition in tissues of tubers, as well as the interactions with other critical nutrients prompted this study. To assess the interactions and differential accumulation of micro and macronutrients in the tissues of...
The funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme H2020-DRS-2015 GA nr. 700395 (HERACLES project).; The study and characterization of mortars is generally related to the knowledge of the properties of the material, which guarantee or improve its performance and durability. When we consider the study of historical mortars, the main objective is to understand the characteristics o...
The study of building materials constituting cultural heritage is fundamental to understand their characteristics and predict their behavior. When considering materials from archaeological sites, their characterization can provide not only relevant information for a broader understanding of the site and its importance and significance but can also increase knowledge about ancient materials and their performance...
This work is a contribution to Project UID/GEO/04035/2013 funded by FCT-Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, in Portugal.; The availability and mobility of metals in soil strongly depend on its sediments geochemical forms and, therefore, the sediments' particles composition evaluation is more meaningful than the estimation of total soil concentrations, particularly when risk and toxicity are under evaluation...
