GYPWORLD: A Global initiative to understand gypsum ecosystem ecology
Gypsum is a type of habitat widely spread throughout the world, especially in arid climates (Somalia, Australia, Middle East, USA, circum-Mediterranean region, etc.). The vegetation present on this type of habitat has long attracted the attention of specialists in the study of flora adapted to special substrates, since gypsum represents an important barrier to the growth of most plants. These ecosystems are little known in comparison to other habitats present on special substrates, even though representing natural laboratories of evolution and ecology. In this context, the Gypworld project has been developed, as a global initiative to understand the ecology of gypsum ecosystems, comes under the European Horizon 2020 research program, and which brings together researchers specialists in the study of gypsum ecosystems, from five continents. Under the umbrella of this project, different scientific meetings have been taking place, being the one held in Almeria, the third of the four that will take place, with the name of 3rd Gypworld Workshop. Thus, this monograph presents the most recent advances in the research of these special ecosystems.
Diversidad genética, estructura poblacional, filogeografía y filogenia de especies dolomitícolas presentes en las cordilleras Béticas
La dolomía es un sustrato que se encuentra ampliamente distribuido por todo el globo. Su efecto geobotánico es de ámbito global. En la península Ibérica, los endemismos ligados a este tipo de roca aparecen concentrados sobre dolomías kakiritizadas situadas en las zonas de media-alta montaña de las cordilleras Béticas. Los afloramientos de dolomías se comportan como “islas ecológicas”, con una distribución fragmentada y reducida, siendo el único hábitat para aquellas especies con una intensa dolomitofilia. Por ello, debe ser considerada como un serio factor de amenaza. A esto hay que sumar el hecho de que estas especies están expuestas a la explotación mecánica de las cant...

The Vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula
This book provides a compact, up-to-date and detailed overview of the vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, a highly diverse part of Europe in the Mediterranean area. Written by a group of experienced researchers, the volume includes a first section with general chapters discussing the climate, the biogeography and the flora, and a second section with detailed descriptions of the 14 regional sectors into which the peninsula and Balearic Islands have been divided. A third section explores special features, such as aquatic vegetation, gypsum and dolomite vegetation, coastal vegetation, mountain flora and vegetation, conservation issues and alien flora.
Flora amenazada de la provincia de Almería
La cuenca mediterránea ha sido reconocida por los expertos en biodiversidad como uno de los puntos de mayor interés del planeta. Para los biólogos de la conservación esto equivale a decir que estamos en un "punto caliente", una zona de capital importancia para salvaguardar la diversidad planetaria. Pero no es esta la única connotación que lleva aparejada la designación de un punto caliente, también acarrea un fuerte grado de amenaza. Inmersa de lleno en el contexto mediterráneo, la flora vascular de la provincia de Almería tiene más de 120 especies sometidas a algún tipo de amenaza, repartidas entre las zonas de montaña (Sierra Nevada, Sierra de Gádor, Sierra de los Filabres y ...
I Congreso iberoamericano. IV Congreso internacional jóvenes investigadores del mar
Se pretende crear un punto de conexión entre los distintos grupos de investigación dentro del ámbito marino, donde sean los propios jóvenes investigadores los que expongan sus áreas de trabajo, así como sus inquietudes y dificultades en esta etapa. Con este encuentro se pretende mejorar la difusión de la información entre las distintas líneas de investigación, fomentando futuras colaboraciones y proyectos con un alto valor multidisciplinar.
Environmental Risk Assessment of Soil Contamination
Soil is an irreplaceable resource that sustains life on the planet, challenged by food and energy demands of an increasing population. Therefore, soil contamination constitutes a critical issue to be addressed if we are to secure the life quality of present and future generations. Integrated efforts from researchers and policy makers are required to develop sound risk assessment procedures, remediation strategies and sustainable soil management policies. Environmental Risk Assessment of Soil Contamination provides a wide depiction of current research in soil contamination and risk assessment, encompassing reviews and case studies on soil pollution by heavy metals and organic pollutants. The book introduces several innovative approaches for soil remediation and risk assessment, including advances in phytoremediation and implementation of metabolomics in soil sciences.
The Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean Diet offers researchers and clinicians a single authoritative source which outlines many of the complex features of the Mediterranean diet: ranging from supportive evidence and epidemiological studies, to the antioxidant properties of individual components. This book embraces a holistic approach and effectively investigates the Mediterranean diet from the cell to the nutritional well-being of geographical populations. This book represents essential reading for researchers and practicing clinicians in nutrition, dietetics, endocrinology, and public health, as well as researchers, such as molecular or cellular biochemists, interested in lipids, metabolism, and obesity. - Presents one comprehensive, translational source for all aspects of how the Mediterranean diet plays a role in disease prevention and health - Experts in nutrition, diet, and endocrinology (from all areas of academic and medical research) take readers from the bench research (cellular and biochemical mechanisms of vitamins and nutrients) to new preventive and therapeutic approaches - Features a unique section on novel nutraceuticals and edible plants used in the Mediterranean region
