The Transboundary Precipitationshed of a Non-Transboundary Watershed: Emerging Challenges for Water Resources ManagementNARA Subscribed
Terrestrial moisture recycling (TMR) plays a crucial role in the global distribution of water. This process establishes atmospheric connections between watersheds, which are often overlooked in traditional water management that focuses solely on surface hydrology. Located in northwestern South America, the Magdalena Watershed is a non-transboundary watershed that is essential for Colombia’s water and energy security. However,...
Purpose This work aims to provide insights on the application of social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) in evaluating the social impacts associated with municipal wastewater treatment (WWT). The study assesses the social risks and social performance of two municipal WWT systems in Catalonia, Spain: a conventional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) (Reference System) and a novel system that recovers water and other valuable resour...
Habitat of two threatened short-tailed whip-scorpions (Arachnida: Schizomida) in the tropical Andes of Northern South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Aim Schizomids are one of the less-known arachnid groups in terms of their natural history and ecology. However, due to their remarkable short-range endemic distribution, they may be vulnerable to climate change and habitat loss. In Colombia, although the national IUCN red list of threatened invertebrates has categorized species of schizomids as vulnerable (VU), this assessment was based on expert criteria. Therefore, informat...
MelastomaTRAITs 1.0: A database of functional traits in M elastomataceae, a large pantropical angiosperm familyNARA Subscribed
The recent availability of open‐access repositories of functional traits has revolutionized trait‐based approaches in ecology and evolution. Nevertheless, the underrepresentation of tropical regions and lineages remains a pervasive bias in plant functional trait databases, which constrains large‐scale assessments of plant ecology, evolution, and biogeography. Here, we present MelastomaTRAITs 1.0, a comprehensive and updatable...
Wastewater early warning system for SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and variants in a Coruña, SpainNARA Subscribed
Wastewater-based epidemiology has been widely used as a cost-effective method for tracking the COVID-19 pandemic at the community level. Here we describe COVIDBENS, a wastewater surveillance program running from June 2020 to March 2022 in the wastewater treatment plant of Bens in A Coruña (Spain). The main goal of this work was to provide an effective early warning tool based in wastewater epidemiology to help in decision-maki...
