Assessing the evolution of wheat grain traits during the last 166 years using archived samples
(Nature, 2020-12)
Article
Open AccessThe current study focuses on yield and nutritional quality changes of wheat grain over the last 166 years. It is based on wheat grain quality analyses carried out on samples collected between 1850 and 2016. Samples were ... -
Dose effect of Zn and Cu in sludge-amended soils on vegetable uptake of trace elements, antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes: Human health implications
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessThe application of sewage sludge to agricultural fields reduces the need for mineral fertilizers by increasing soil organic matter, but may also increase soil pollution. Previous studies indicate that zinc and copper, as ... -
The Catalan butterfly monitoring scheme has the capacity to detect effects of modifying agricultural practices
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessImpacts of agricultural management practices on the receiving environment are seldom suit-ably assessed because environmental monitoring is costly. In this regard, data generated by already exist-ing environmental survey ... -
Ocurrence and human health implications of chemical contaminants in vegetables grown in peri-urban agriculture
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies have proven that vegetables cultivated in peri-urban areas are exposed to a greater concentration of organic microcontaminants (OMCs) and trace elements (TEs) than those grown in rural areas. In this study, ... -
Occurrence and bioaccumulation of chemical contaminants in lettuce grown in peri-urban horticulture
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)
Article
Open AccessPeri-urban horticulture performs environmental and socio-economic functions and provides ecological services to nearby urban areas. Nevertheless, industrialization and water pollution have led to an increase in the exposure ... -
Transfer function and time series outlier analysis: modelling Soil salinity in loamy sand soil by including the influences of irrigation management and soil temperature
(2017-12-13)
Article
Open AccessIn variable interval irrigation, simply including soil salinity data in the soil salinity model is not valid for making predictions, because changes in irrigation frequency must also be taken into account. This study on ... -
Methane potential of fruit and vegetable waste: an evaluation of the semi-continuous anaerobic mono-digestion
(2018-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe anaerobic digestion (AD) of a high diversity blend of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) generated in tropical conditions as a single substrate was performed. A continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) operated in ... -
Assessment of active methanogenic archaea in a methanol-fed upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor
(2016-12-01)
Article
Open AccessMethanogenic archaea enrichment of a granular sludge was undertaken in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor fed with methanol in order to enrich methylotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic populations. A ... -
Social and private costs of water for irrigation: the small desalination plant in San Vicente del Raspeig, Spain
(2018-08)
Article
Open AccessAmong non-conventional water resources, desalination (from seawater or brackish aquifers) has emerged as a feasible option to deal with water shortages in arid or semi-arid areas. At the University of Alicante (UA, SE ... -
Biogas production from N-rich wastes: SAOB-HM enriched digester versus hydrophobic membrane assisted digester
(2017)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHydrophobic membranes (HMM) are common in water purification processes to separate volatile compounds. When such membranes are combined with anaerobic digesters (AD), inhibitory phenomena affecting methanogenesis due to ... -
Overcoming organic and nitrogen overload in thermophilic anaerobic digestion of pig slurry by coupling a microbial electrolysis cell
(2016-09)
Article
Open AccessThe combination of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process with a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) coupled to an ammonia stripping unit as a post-treatment was assessed both in series operation, to improve the quality of the ... -
Unravelling the active microbial community in a thermophilic anaerobic digester-microbial electrolysis cell coupled system under different conditions
(2017-03)
Article
Open AccessThermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) of pig slurry coupled to a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) with a recirculation loop was studied at lab-scale as a strategy to increase AD stability when submitted to organic and ...
