Landscape influences bat suppression of pine processionary moth: Implications f...

Bats provide important ecosystem services, particularly in agriculture, yet integrating bat management into conservation plans remains challenging. Some landscape features considerably influence bat presence, diversity, and ecosystem service provision. Understanding the relationship between landscape structure, composition, pest suppression, and ecosystem services is crucial. We modelled areas where bats most e...

Transformations international experience and research network for sustainable f...

The overarching aim of TransformERS is to inform research, policy and practice for transformations that deliver justice in a changing global context by bringing together and positioning research relevant to societal transformation Such societal transformations are cited as highly necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change and biodiversity loss, and are called for in the IPCC and IPBES frameworks, as well as...

Enhancing water reuse at a local scale: a constructed wetland case study

Constructed Wetlands (CW), as biological treatment systems, mimic the phytoremediation processes found in natural wetlands in an optimized configuration for the improvement of the water quality. They are considered nature-based solutions (NBS) that may support decentralized wastewater treatment providing several ecosystem services, including enhancing water availability and reducing water-related risks. The pre...

Phytotechnology implementation in marine and freshwater environments: case stud...

Phytotechnologies are plant-based approaches that solve or complement the solution of environmental problems, by remediating soil, water, and air or restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Floating treatment wetlands (FWIs) are examples of a phytotechnology, also named nature-based solution, that provides water treatment and management with low capital costs, high success rate, low maintenance requi...

Rhizobacterial isolates from the metal hyperaccumulator noccaea caerulescens gr...

Introduction: Ultramafic (serpentine) outcrops occupy about 1% of the planet and are constituted by igneous or metamorphic rocks with low content in silicon (< 45 % SiO2) more than 70 % of ferromagnesium minerals and usually with high contents of several toxic trace elements (TEs) (Brooks, 1987). The soils developed over these rocks are characterized by deficiency in organic matter and essential nutrients, unfa...

Phytotechnology implementation in marine and freshwater environments: case stud...

Environmental biotechnology, such as bioremediation and phytoremediation, is a promising field that uses natural resources, including microorganisms and plants, to eliminate toxic organic contaminants from water, soils and air (Calheiros et al. 2020). This technology offers an attractive alternative to other conventional remediation processes due to its relatively low cost and environmentally friendly method. I...
