Multivariate analysis was used to examine the epiphytic bryophyte and lichen composition of these woodlands. TWINSPAN and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) recognized four major groups of bryophytes and lichens species, one related to pastoral woodlands, another to altitudinal woodlands, a third one to the woodlands under Atlantic influence and a fourth with generalist species. Differences in bryophyte and lichen species composition and cover in the studied areas were attributed mainly to distinct humidity, precipitation, evapotranspiration and insolation levels. The bryophytes Leucodon sciuroides, Frullania dilatata, and the lichen Evernia prunastri presented the highest cover values. A very rare bryophyte species Zygodon forsteri, included in the European Red Data Book, was found. Obtained results are a good basis to improve methods based on bryophytes and lichens as bio-indicators of forest biodiversity.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascual, J.a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moreno, J L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ros, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil microbial activity as a biomarker of degradation and remediation processes</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil Biology and Biochemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dehydrogenase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hydrolases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organic matter</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soil remediation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1877-1883</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Several organic matter fractions together with biological and biochemical parameters were measured in a range of intensively farmed soils in SE Spanish Mediterranean region, which had been abandoned (i.e. not used in agriculture) for different periods of time. These soils were compared with adjacent natural soils that had never been used for agriculture. There was a general decline of total organic carbon (TOC), extractable humic substances, water-soluble carbon (WSC) and carbohydrates, microbial biomass and respiration with the time elapsed since abandonment. There was also a decline in plant cover in the abandoned soils. When a degraded soil was amended with municipal solid waste at rates of 6.5 and 26 kg m 22 as a potential means of remediation, TOC, humic substances, WSC, microbial biomass and respiration rates signi®cantly increased but only at the higher rate of amendment. Plant cover was signi®cantly enhanced by both rates of the amendments and was still present 10 years after the amendment. These data con®rm that agricultural soil abandonment leads to soil degradation and that the addition of urban waste could be a suitable technique with which to restore their quality</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, T</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological and biochemical indicators in derelict soils subject to erosion</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil Biology and Biochemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biochemical parameters (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological indicators</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">derelict soils</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil degradation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">171-177</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">n 21 derelict soils from a semi-arid Spanish Mediterranean area, with a lithological sub- strate of Ioams, submitted to a high degree of erosion, several biological and biochemical properties in- dicative of the soil degradation leve1 were determined. The organic matter content of these soils was very low (mean value = 11.8 g kg-‘), approximately one-third of the average value for organic matter content of natura1 soils in the same zone. Biological properties such as basal respiration and biomass C also had low values and were positively correlated with the organic matter content. Low values for de- hydrogenajse and catalase activity were indicative of low biological activity of the degraded soils. A positive correlation was found between the hydrolases related with the N, P, C and S cycles (urease, proteases, fl-glucosidase and arylsulphatase), as wel1 as between these hydrolases and the organic matter content. Principal component analysis showed that ah the variables studied, except catalase and qCOr, had a similar behaviour. There was a negative correlation between many of the properties studied and electrical conductivity, which agreed with the higher degree of biological and biochemical degradation found in gypsiferous soils with a higher salt content. Arylsulphatase and p-glucosidase activity were the hydrolases most affected by soil erosion processes</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cava, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruiz, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">López-Bote, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martín, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">García, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventanas, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antequera, T</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of finishing diet on fatty acid profiles of intramuscular lipids, triglycerides and phospholipids in muscles of the Iberian pig.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meat science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fatty acid profile (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feeding system</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">iberian pig</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">263-270</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thirty Iberian × Duroc pigs allotted in groups of ten animals were fed in three traditional different management systems ('Montanera' (MO), fed on acorns; 'Recebo' (RE), fed on acorns and a commercial diet; and 'Cebo' (CE), fed on a commercial diet). Masseter muscle was obtained to evaluate the influence of management system on fatty acid (FA) composition of lean. The FA composition of the intramuscular total lipids, triglyceride (TG) and phospholipid (PL) fractions was evaluated. Muscle from MO pigs had greater quantities of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in the total lipids, triglyceride and phospholipid fractions than the other feedings. The percentage of saturated fatty acids (SFA) of i.m. total lipids and TGs increased (P &lt; .05) with duration of feeding on RE and CE, from 35.13-35.10% in MO pigs to 37.47-37.84% in RE pigs and 39.98-41.11% in CE pigs.
