Protection of Trees against Lightning Strikes as a Measure to Prevent Fires and Loss of Human Life
2021
Lighting strikes have been the catalyst of massive uncontrolled fires in areas of combustible vegetation. In some regions, lightning strikes may be a relatively unusual occurrence (e.g., California), but instead they seem to have become a major contributor to the propagation of wildfires, as a byproduct of climate change. Given such unusual weather, wildfires originating from lightning are an increasing threat. In this paper, the authors discuss the withstand capability of trees against lightning and introduce a proactive approach to prevent wildfires by the deployment of tree lighting protection systems (TLPS) to protect forested areas, where deemed necessary by the tree risk assessment.
Estudio de las rutas de biosíntesis de serina en plantas y su interacción con el cambio climático
2022
La L-serina es un aminoácido que forma parte de las proteínas además de participar en los centros catalíticos de estas. También es la precursora de otras moléculas esenciales como nucleótidos y lípidos, y participa en el metabolismo del folato siendo dadora de moléculas de un carbono. A diferencia de los animales, donde solamente existe una ruta de síntesis de serina, las plantas presentan varias rutas metabólicas. Una de ellas, la llamada ruta del Glicolato, está relacionada con la fotorrespiración, y es considerada la más importante a nivel cuantitativo. Hay otras dos rutas no asociadas a la fotorrespiración. Una de ellas es conocida como ruta del Glicerato y no ha sido caracterizada func…
Biotic and abiotic soil properties influence survival of Listeria monocytogenes in soil
2013
International audience; Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen responsible for the potentially fatal disease listeriosis and terrestrial ecosystems have been hypothesized to be its natural reservoir. Therefore, identifying the key edaphic factors that influence its survival in soil is critical. We measured the survival of L. monocytogenes in a set of 100 soil samples belonging to the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network. This soil collection is meant to be representative of the pedology and land use of the whole French territory. The population of L. monocytogenes in inoculated microcosms was enumerated by plate count after 7, 14 and 84 days of incubation. Analysis of survival pr…

The Coastal Levantine Area
2017
The Coastal Levantine area is a very diverse territory situated between the Cap de Creus and the Cap de la Nau. The wide variety of environments and ecological conditions that occur in this area determine its great diversity and richness from the vegetation point of view. Forest composition depends mainly on climatic factors, geomorphology and soil features, and are currently dominated by evergreen sclerophyllous (Quercus ilex, Q. rotundifolia, Q. suber), conifer (Pinus halepensis, P. pinaster, P. pinea, P. salzmannii, P. sylvestris), and deciduous (Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea) and semi-deciduous (Quercus faginea, Q. canariensis, Q. pubescens, Q. pyrenaica) species in inland areas with…
