Resilience of green roofs to climate change
Calheiros, Cristina S. C.; Pereira, Sofia I.A.The successful management of cities growth rely in part on the maximization of the benefits delivered by the built environment while minimizing the environmental degradation. Circular and resourceful cites are the mainstream for climate change resilience. Green roofs, as a nature-based solution, contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation through the provision of several ecosystem services. Value of ...
Iron metabolism in soybean grown in calcareous soil is influenced by plant grow...
Roriz, Mariana; Pereira, Sofia I.A.; Castro, Paula M.L.; Carvalho, Susana M.P.; Vasconcelos, Marta W.Iron deficiency results in severe yield losses, particularly in calcareous soils. Recent evidences suggest that biofertilizers with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may be an efficient strategy for enhancing iron (Fe) nutrition in legumes. This work aimed at evaluating the capacity of PGPR strains to enhance Fe uptake-related processes in soybean grown in calcareous soil. From the studied 24 PGPR, Sp...
Synergistic effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting ...
Moreira, Helena; Pereira, Sofia I.A.; Vega, Alberto; Castro, Paula M.L.; Marques, Ana P.G.C.Salt-affected soils are a major problem worldwide for crop production. Bioinocula such as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can help plants to thrive in these areas but interactions between them and with soil conditions can modulate the effects on their host. To test potential synergistic effects of bioinoculants with intrinsically different functional relationships w...
